What non-Steam games do you play? (feddit.org)

I'd like to get back into playing video games, but I don't want to have to sign up for an online service like Steam or Ubisoft Connect.

I love technical sandbox games like Scrap Mechanic, especially if they have a "creative mode" that allows me to just make stuff.

I bought Factorio back in the early Beta days, because it was one of the only fun puzzle/simulation games that had a native Linux build available directly on their website. They even had a Linux build of the demo. Factorio is the game I've got best value for money over the years.

I only got into it 3ish years ago, originally pirating it cause I was broke at the time, but I bought it as soon as I could with my first paycheque from my current job. Absolute god tier game with god tier devs. I would've pre-ordered (heresy, I know) Space Age if they let me, but I bought it day one. I've already got 617 hours on the steam version, and I probably put about 5-600 hours into the pirated version before I could afford it.

Love me some Factorio and Wube. 2nd favorite game of all time behind Super Metroid.
