I have all my hardware set up, including a new chair. MineCraft and baulders gate 3, terraria, and some freebies are my only games so far. I have a massive console and physical game collection that I love, so I'm really just looking for things that are definitively better on pc, only on pc, or software that I may not know about yet. Free software and game recommendations are always my favorite.

Really just posting here because I thought you would be the best people to find random recommendations from. Usually I would check reddit posts and all that, but I'm here now.

Thanks in advance!

Oxygen Not Included and Surviving Mars are both great colony simulators.

Avorion is a good space empire game (fly a ship, build a fleet to follow you, build stations, etc) with custom spaceships you or those on Steam Workshop can build.

Hearts of Iron IV and Stellaris are both great grand strategy games. With Civilization VI being the genre-defining 4X game.

Subnautica is a great underwater exploration game. Amazingly done visuals and a solid story to bring it together.

DCS is an amazing combat flight simulator. And it is a simulator, not an arcade game, don't expect it to hand-hold (though there are a few modules that are intentionally dumbed down to help out new players). The US Air Force literally uses it for training new A-10 pilots.

Not sure why you're getting down voted, most of these titles are games I have not looked into and am excited to learn more about. Exactly what I needed.
