I highly recommend Monster Hunter + Sunbreak, I've gotten 250+ hours on it, and another 250+ hours on Monster Hunter: World + Iceborne (sold seperately)
Another fun one is Lethal League and Lethal League: Blaze for some Smash style gameplay.

I'm looking for a recommendation
Steam has a sale on Warner Bros games, which includes a lot of Lego games.
My kids played a little bit of the Skywalker Saga game and really seemed to enjoy it.
Does anyone have any recommendations for Lego games? I've not tried any myself, and there's so many of them. Are they generally pretty similar gameplay wise? Do any stand out as funnier, or have more satisfying mechanics?
Lego City Undercover is pretty good. It was a Wii U exclusive for a while, but then got ported to everything. It's kind of Lego Grand Theft Auto, but you play as an undercover cop and of course it's all family friendly. It has an original story rather than being based on a franchise. Years later we still call computers "compupers" in our house because of one of the characters.
Keep in mind that the Skywalker Saga (their most recent one) is actually completely different than their older games. That being said, the best ones in general are the Avengers one, and the DC ones. For nostalgia's sake, the original full Star Wars games are also just really good haha. You can't really go wrong, they're all super similar so it just depends on what you like, though I thinkkkkkk the Pirates ones might be the worst ones.
There's a sale on steam for Roguelike Celebration 2023.
I finally got around to picking up the steam version of Dwarf Fortress and five hours disappeared.
It's so much easier to get sucked in when I can clearly tell what's going on rather than needing to move the cursor around to inspect each tile.
