Civilization 6 and Divinity: Original Sin 2.

Divinity should win every single Game of the Year award. I'm not that big an RPG fan, but the game and story drug me in kicking and screaming. Combat works, it just works. And every fight has a dozen workable strategies. Want to Cheese a fight? Yea, you can do that too. Divinity: Original Sin, the first game, was also a good experience. And they gave you the Enhanced Edition when they got the money to update the engine.

Civ6 is what I play when I just want to conquer and beat up people. I've managed to put down Factorio for a while. I bought the $80 version of Civ6 so I get every future DLC, only because every Civ game sucks at launch and after two updates is amazing. Civ6 has a few quircks that still IMO need a fix, but other than that I can suggest it for the people who like strategy games.

And Factorio, a game still technically in "alpha" is a full on grand experience in streamlining and resource management.
