For RPG goodness, Divinity: Original Sin is one of the best isometric view point games I’ve ever played. Skyrim for first person goodness.
For tactical squad based games, I am still playing X-Com. After this play through, I am finally firing up X-Com 2. If you are a tabletop miniatures gamer who can’t get out of the house enough to get your fix, this series is a great substitute for 40k/Infinity/Imperial Assault.
strangely after spending huge chunks of my youth playing games i find it really hard to get into them these days, this year the only game ive played to any real degree is Slay The Spire

I help my son play some games - Fortnite Battle Royale; BattleFront II; the Lego games (on 3ds and switch)
I was enjoying Alcazar, but it just crashes all the time now.
- Captain Spirit (PS4, the demo of Life Is Strange 2, promising)
- Detroit: Become Human (PS4, a bit repetitive sometimes, a great game nonetheless)
- The Last Guardian (PS4, now my #1 all time favorite)
- Life Is Strange (PS3, an adolescent girl simulator with a—dark—twist)
- Heavy Rain (PS3, is that even possible to get a "good" ending?)
- Destiny 2 (PC, just like Destiny but more of it)
And Twenty on Android, which has made my daily commute feel like teleportation for two years.

That's about it. Every now and then I'll dig out my Raspberry Pi that runs RetroPi and play some Nobunaga's Ambition (the NES version).
