Far more affordable to just buy indie games instead, and you can play a lot of them on fairly affordable hardware. You could make do with an iGPU for a fair bit if you want to keep costs down low enough.
Titanium Court is the best game I’ve played all year and it’s currently only €9.99. Indie games keep completely dominating the value proposition in gaming.

I think some of my most played games are indie ones I bought in the 2010s, Rimworld, Factorio, Vintage Story, From the Depths, Kenshi.
Not sure if I can think of as much that stands out from the 2020s tbh. Valheim perhaps but I don’t feel like going back to it as much as the others.
I can’t really go by playtime, because I tend to beat a game and move on to a new experience. But Withering Rooms was like 2023, that’s another one I am completely obsessed with. Death Howl from last year was also amazing. Darkwood is I guess 2010s but I am (trying) to play it right now, also phenomenal. With some notable exceptions I feel like my most memorable gaming experiences are indie games nowadays.

I like games that are highly relatable/endless. Story isn’t something I am overly bothered by though.
