    My work will throw me to somewhere with shit internet for weeks every now and then, so I'll need to stockpile on offline games. Recommend some stuff please.

    PS: Laptop is a bit of a potato, so anything visually fancy is probably out of the window. Like, it can't even load Frostpunk. Big bummer there. And the last campaign mission of They Are Billions stutters bad if the difficulty is above 100%.

    So far I've enjoyed (and able to run):

    They Are Billions
    Dishonored
    Slay the Spire
    Battle Brothers
    Salt and Sanctuary
    Bad North
    Sunless Seas / Sunless Skies
    Into the Breach
    Everspace
    Child of Light
    Skyrim
    Rome: Total War
    Dead Cells
    Dragon Age series
    Mass Effect 1-3

    And probably a bunch of others I can't really recall, but that's the gist. It's all over the place, I know. I can't even figure out the pattern of what I'd like or dislike. Try me.

    Elona and Cataclyms: Dark Days Ahead
    They are good games but really complex, also roguelike and just straight up long
    If you can enjoy them without having to look up the wiki, they can keep you entertained for a long while

    Outward is fun, but feels like a discount Skyrim.

    Where The Outer Worlds is more like Boarderlands meets Fallout.

    Notia is an intreseting game, but you will die a lot.

    Slasher's Keep is a classical Dungeon Crawler in the same style as Doom, but with Levels and Items.

    Griftlands is a good card game that can be a little short, but has multiple Campaigns with multiple routes and lots of replay value.

    Hardspace: Shipbreaker is unlike anything else out there at the moment, but its TONS of fun, highly recommend it.

    Risk of Rain 2 is Fun with lots of replay value, but its one of those mindless games.

    Satisfactory is awesome, but them I've always like building factories like this, so maybe its just me.

    Dwarf Fortress though you may want internet to look up the wiki if youre just starting to learn it.

    No internet at all or just terrible service/bandwidth?

    Never took a liking to Factorio or Rimworld for some reason. Meanwhile Dicey looks like the exact kind of insanity I'd like.

    System requirement looks murderous, but I'll try.

    That's a lot of nice stuff. But early access tag isn't appealing, I'd wait for some of these. Well, work wouldn't end anytime soon anyway.

    Terrible service, most of the time there's none.

    I tried New Vegas and pretty sure got rid of it in less than one hour. The minimap was horrible.

    how about some older stuff like the bioware rpgs ? Baldurs Gate 1&2 + add ons, icewind dale, never winter nights 1+2 planescape tornment
    each of them should allow to sink about 100h into it BG got remasters if i remeber it right planescape some inoffical remake
    Borderlands 1/2/2,5/3
    wasteland 1-3
    pathfinder kingmaker
    subnautica
    some older heroes of might&magic 3(hd) 5 or 6
    Civilisation 3 and up
    knights of the old rebublic 1&2 2 is buggy and need fan fixes first

    true tried kotor some time ago and quit after less than 5 minutes

    thought BG is quite nice if you get a way to increase the resolution
    for Borderlands its no problem at all
    civ and homm 3 got their own charme or its because i sank so much time in them back than fond memories
    might sound strange bot for master of orion i still like the 2nd one the most ,horrible 3rd part and even wargamings new approach a few years ago cant match the good old one
    civ 6 is a great game but the performance you need for the late games might kill your pc if it need 2-3 min to calc the enemies turns

    you could go full hardcore with might&magic 5-9 too and for them its not about aging well or not they were ugly even on release date thought its the content that matters back in the days with drawing your own minimaps, noting npc names and no questmarker doing half the game for you
    while its even easier nowadays well wiki and help pages, online maps, guides, walkthroughts etc

    Might and magic goes to nine now?? Last time I checked it's up to five, wow. My favorite was the fourth, liked the heroes system. Had some hilarious moment, like killing a legendary magic immune enemy hero by turning berserk the stack of elites next to him.

    no problem could happen to everyone
    heroes of might and magic went to 7 with add-on and they might have killed the series with it ...

    Bioshock 1
    Dragon's Dogma
    Legend of Grimrock 1 and 2

    Steam Winter sale is coming in the next few days, so you should probably wait until then to purchase games.
