I like community builders and games that I can keep a world for years and grow, watch it evolve. I enjoy Rimworld. ARK evolved series is good.

Bonus if it's multiplayer capable LAN and not online.

Oxygen not included is nice but mentally taxing sometimes. I prefer laid back chill games with economy and farming. 2d or 3d doesn't matter. I don't mind trying indie games. Survival based games are nice. I'm not super pick and choose.

Give me your greatest joy in game form. I've heard Stardew Valley is good. I tried it, reminds me of a gameboy game. I could not get into the game. My character kept falling asleep like 14 times in a day.

Because you don't want to use Microsoft's ecosystem? It'll just be the same as any other account

If I don't want to use them, I am not making an account. I already have a billion accounts I don't need yet another, and certainly not a Microsoft one.

But go back to the original question OP posed: two distinct things, Offline and Long Term.

I don't trust Microsoft, Minecraft is dead to me and I cannot count on them long-term.

Requiring an account is not offline.

So Minecraft does not meet op's requirements.
