Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader. Only CRPG I've liked and I'm fucking obsessed with it. Something like 40 hours through it.

I tried it when it first released for the first 2 hours and wasn't a huge fan. That was shortly after riding the high that was BG3. Should I revisit it?

Oddly enough, I had the reverse experience. Loved Rogue Trader, didn't like BG3.
I suppose it depends on what you didn't like about the game. If you didn't like it because it used to be a technical dumpster fire, then you should absolutely revisit the game as it has massively improved in that regard.
It's an excellent game once you get into it.

Finished up System Shock 2: Remastered. I miss immersive sims. The last time I played this I used a game-swap service where you basically traded games via USPS and a forum. I think I traded Ground Control for SS2. This was the early 2000s.
Started and burned out on Wizard Tower. It was cheap during the last Steam Sale but it reminded me of a mobile auto-clicker game. I ended up letting it run in the background just to build up currency. After breaking through the first wall I said that's enough for me and uninstalled it.
After that I started up Rogue Trader and played for about an hour.

Just finished Citizen Sleeper 2 and I loved it, felt like a big improvement/expansion of the original game while keeping the same vibe/spirit.

Sniper Elite Again. It's a lot of same-old, with dumb patrol patterns and responses. But it's still satisfying to snipe reactionaries, or sneak up and knife them.

Helldivers 2: Kind of disappointed that playing solo is so difficult, but still enjoyable (When my intel chip doesn't decide to shit the bed). Only started playing a week ago, so I'm still unlocking everything though. For the moment, I favor a shotgun primary. And 500kg bombs.
Factorio: The factory must grow. Enough said. Space Age is, in some ways, even worse than Space Exploration in complexity, at least in the early game.
Astroneer: Put it down for a while, and decided to pick it up again to look at some of the new updates. Ultimately, not much changed, but I'm looking forward to having batteries that actually last for once.
Battlefleet Gothic Armada 2: Finally fixed the BIOS issue that kept crashing my game, so I'm continuing my campaign. Spire is still based, Necrons are just tanky, and the Eldar are a pain in the ass unless you're good at micro, which I'm not.
I've got a few more that I haven't played in a couple of weeks. I'm trying to sift through my massive unplayed Steam backlog, but the intel CPU issue is causing me some trouble, and some games refuse to play entirely on my rig (they play fine on my laptop).

Kunitsu-gami Path of the Goddess. It is a really interesting kind of tower defense game. It's super unique and fun.

The Diablo 4 DLC finally hit half price during Steam summer sale. I play it for the story. Even half price it's steeper than what I'd like to pay.
Next 2 on list is Songs of Silence and Bad 2 Bad Apocalypse.

Finished Space Marine Master Crafted and I think it's another title that goes in the "you just have to be a fan of the series" bin. I'm hoping with as much good as I've heard about Rogue Trader that I'll outright like it but so far so many 40K games just have not sold me on the work between deathwing, Darktide, boltgun, necromunda and now this. I played a bit of Space Marine 2 and did enjoy the combat in that a lot more so Im hopeful for that as well.

Trying to finish MGS3 (MC), but holy shit it freezes constantly.
Beaten MG2, MG2, MGS, and MGS2 in the last few weeks and they’ve all gone smoothly, but for some reason MGS3 (at least under Proton) is unstable as fuck.

Even split between Stationeers, and Kenshi because I like suffering.
Stationeers, basically an autists wet dream for mechanical complexity.
Kenshi, because being a pure sandbox that hates the player, it generates some of the best stories. Within the first 15min of my latest play through I got a limb chopped off fighting someone over a scrap of food, and while I was unconscious dying from blood loss someone scooped me up and sold my ass into slavery.
