Oh yeah, I loved The Talos Principle. That one was excellent.
For Path of Exile, the end game is the best part in my opinion! It is a slog to get there, especially if you do it multiple leagues in a row. The “King of All Summoners” Witch build (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2642810) is super easy to level since it doesn’t rely on gear and can clear each act in well under an hour. For new players, the single best guide is Enki’s Arc Witch (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1147951) which has really detailed info for practically every step of the game.
At this point, I feel like my gaming time has fallen into two camps: numbers go up (idle/incremental games or Path of Exile), or rigorous logic/puzzle games.
