We all have that one game or genre that never gets old and we return to time and time again.

What is it for you and why is that the case?

City builders seem to be my comfort food. I go back to Banished every now and then to get my fix. I'm currently playing Kingdom Two Crowns to fill it.

Couldn't come up with an answer until this comment.

Still waiting for something to hit the same way that banished does.

I also find myself coming back to Software Inc every couple of months for its management gameplay

It's too bad banished always turns into a hectic click management game once the community gets to a self supporting size. Migrants show up and you expand for them... And then you get to run through the same operations every season, setting fields for plant and harvest, prioritizing workers and resources. It gets repetitive and the reward for getting bigger is just more clicking and more management.
