This is a hot take indeed. Unless you use the word unique to pick only a single game from each genre, even a single genre has more games than I can hope to finish in a lifetime.

I mean, I still play Dune 2, warcraft II, sc:broodwars and C&C, in addition to Starcraft II.

And that's just a single genre.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone who has played as many games as I have, and I couldn't disagree more. I find this sentiment more common amongst people who have played 20-30 games in their lifetime. The more I play, the more interested I am in the smaller titles sprinkled throughout the month. Even a janky, low budget game can do something unique. I have a massive backlog.

There are very cool games coming out every week, IMO. Just this next month,

- The Kingsfield inspired game Queen's Domain. That looks visually amazing.

- Noble Fates is a very cool Colony Sim that surpasses Rimworld in some respects (even if it comes short in others)

- Worship is a game where you play as a cult leader and command minions like Pikmin (I'm a sucker for cult games).

- County of Fortune is a massive city builder that goes a scale beyond what most city builders allow

- Silver Pines is a horror game borrowing from the genre's greats. It got a 97% on Steam.
