The obvious answers are the games we endlessly replayed historically: Mario Kart, Goldeneye (VS mode), Halo (VS), Smash Bros.
If you specifically want ones on PC, I’d suggest Starcraft, Age of Empires, and probably Counter Strike (I wasn’t into that one, but it had a huge following).
Many board games fit the bill as well. Codenames (physical or online at horsepaste.com) comes to mind, and another commenter also mentioned chess.
Basically any games that were made before endlessly grinding became a thing (yep, that’s only been a thing for a decade or two).
Trackmania, although depending on how you want to slice it, you might consider it ONLY grinding.
Incredibly low skill floor (4 button racing sim) but with near infinite skill ceiling as you learn to master all the nuances of movement, surface types, tricks, etc.
Endless amounts of content with the seasonal campaigns, tracks of the day, and weekly shorts, but also just a full blown track editor for community content on the side. Each track is like a little puzzle where you memorize all the details then try and get your best performance. Play in an online server with your friends and just chat, listen to music, or watch a movie in the background. Find your favorite style and master it: tech, dirt, NASCAR, lol.
It’s my favorite game to just turn my brain off and drive.
I also recommend The Finals! It's exclusively multiplayer, and the only "grind" one needs to worry about is unlocking all the weapons and gadgets; it doesn't take long to do, and you don't even need all of them if you aren't going to use them. But there's nothing to level up or upgrade, so once you buy an item, it's just a permanent part of your kit. There's no story or campaign that you have to progress, no cutscenes to sit through. You just launch the game, pick a mode, and queue for a match.
I have like 750+ in-match hours logged, and have no plans on stopping.
A boss several steps up the chain decided to make changes to how the site operates that were incompatible with what Giant Bomb is, namely that they wanted an advertiser-friendly, “brand-safe” image with less swearing and streaming. This led to a number of key people leaving, at which point, the name Giant Bomb isn’t really worth anything to anyone. It’s been covered in tons of gaming circles this week alongside the similar destruction of Polygon, so I didn’t think it needed to be stated yet again as I was summarizing bullet points from a live stream.

Very fair and valid.
I will just gently state that this is c/games, not c/gamingcircles and thus many of us are very interested in video games but not necessarily the industries on the periphery thereof, so what seems “yet again” to you might be a first time for others.
Very true. Though at the same time, you probably could have found that context you were looking for by typing a couple of those words into your favorite search engine or Wikipedia.
I agree with you, but I do believe that is an unrealistic expectation for interacting with casual lemmy posts when a custom of including relevant context exists. But all good, I’ll admit my lack of awareness on this one; you did nothing wrong.

Disgusting. I don’t demand or expect them to rewrite their website, but those people are nowhere near even “neutral” status, as long as they behave this way.
Dumb question, but you verified you have enough disk space?
I was going to suggest Lutris, i have never used it but i think it can download the game directly from Ubisoft Connect, but I just realized Lutris is Linux only and I’m assuming you’re on windows.
Jeśli masz dobre intencje, czegoś nie wiesz, nie rozumiesz, albo chcesz się po prostu dowiedzieć, to strach przed tym, że kogoś obrazisz, nie może cię blokować.
Potrzebujemy kultury zbudowanej na dialogu i wzajemnym zrozumieniu, a częścią dialogu jest także to, że czasem na początku możemy się nie rozumieć, czy nawet wręcz możemy niechcący się wzajemnie obrażać.
Sam czasem wrzucałem do sieci różne żarty, czy nawet rozpoczynałem dziwne dyskusje na tematy które chciałem zrozumieć, oczywistym jest to, że często jest to trochę wbijanie kija w mrowisko. Natomiast nigdy nie kończyło się to źle.
Przykład (ze świata libertarian): zdarzało mi się ich pytać, o stosunek do zwierząt, zoofilii, pedofilii i tego typu rzeczy. 3/4 tych ludzi czuło się obrażonymi, że ktoś w ogóle mógł tak pomyśleć, natomiast zawsze ktoś bardziej pewny siebie wdawał się w dyskusje i odpowiadał jak to jest. Nawet jeśli nie po drodze mi z prawicowymi libertarianami, no to dobrze dla całej społeczności by rozumieli na czym stoją (akurat dla społeczności libków zrozumienie że ich ideologia jest związana z zoofilią i legalną pedofilią o ile dziecka się do tego nie zmusza, to też pewien moment kiedy część powie dość, wysiadam).
Także pytaj się, dowiaduj się. Jeśli nie jesteś pewny czy kogoś temat może zaboleć, to zaznacz że nie rozumiesz tematu i chcesz się dowiedzieć takich i takich rzeczy. Zawsze ktoś się czuje obrażony trudnymi pytaniami, bo to wywołuje u niektórych dysonans poznawczy, takimi ludźmi się nie przejmuj.
I’ve always thought it was an otter, but never up till now have I questioned why it’s stolen an orange. They’re not the most citrus-loving of creatures.
