Alright, If you cannot tell by the title above, this is just me seeing if anyone else has similar choice in video games, feel free to ask if anyone plays your favourite game.
Anyway, here is a list of games I feel need more attention:
Europa Universalis IV, a game about being a country from 1400 to about 1600 or 1700, I forget. Think of this game as a Civ 5 for grown ups, as it will beat you up with its complex mechanics and excessively large amount of menu's. But then, as all hope seems to be lost, and no fun in sight, you will suddenly get its mechanics, and everything gets amazing. This game will also make you a xenophobic racist paranoid, and be entirely right in your beliefs (never trust France. Or the Spanish. Or the Portuguese, or the English, or goddamned Austria, or anyone and anything.)
Crusader Kings 2, It is Europa but in the medieval period. Focused less on the countries as a whole, and more on the inner makings, like the king and his vassals. Prepare to backstab with the best of them and watch your house of cards crumble, while you meander around the rubble wondering what the hell brought you to this mess you call a existence. 10/10 would play again.
Dwarf Fortress, a game based around losing. Free to own in its full form, mostly to do with it being AC II graphics (read, non-existent). But if you can get past the huge learning curve there is a lot of fun to be had with making a large underground fortress mines of moria style, until your fortress collapses from one of the many threats in the game. It also has the most extensive combat system in anything ever, as you can sever anything on the body (it even tracks everyone's teeth separately!)
The Men of War games (Assault Squad is the best one): think company of hero's with more micromanagement. Every soldier has a limit to how much ammo they have, and have their own inventory. You can also directly control troops on the battlefield, causing as much havoc as possible (which is quite easy, as it has a full destruction engine!). Only problem is the difficulty and the minor bugs.
Of course there are other games I like, but the idea are these are a tad more obscure, or cater to a niche market.
Would like to hear if anybody plays these, or knows of any other hidden gems!
