I 'd like to get some AA (not AAA) games to play as I tend to like games in that category the most. If anyone has good suggestions, or better a full list of games to check out, that would be very appreciated.

I look into all genres, but the most I like is FPS, Action RPGs, and if possible good open worlds.

Taking a stroll through my library:

The Ascent: Cyberpunk Action RPG, nice action and story, single/coop.
Star Valor: Top-Down Action space. not so much story wise, but great gameplay, costumisation, fleets, and the upcoming addon will add station building and (more) faction warfare.
Weird West: from the Arkane Austin crew (Prey 2016, Dishonored). Good story, immersive gameplay, and a innovative world. It's 3rd person, but there is a mod which makes it 1st person!
Mortal Sin: Roguelike Melee-FPS. lots of fun, and the dev just replaced the level generation completely, adding verticality and much more variety.
Golden light: another Roguelike FPS, its on the weird side, but a lot to explore, had a lot of fun with that one!
Hardspace: Shipbreaker: scrapping spaceships in zero-g has never been more fun! good storyline highlighting the plight of workers in an inhumane system, and what they can do about it.
Styx: Master of Shadows: Thief-like gameplay, well polished.
Red Faction: Guerilla: Older game, Open world is a bit bland, but the realtime destruction of large buildings with explosives will never get old
and if you haven't played it yet: the System Shock Remake is an absolute joy to play.

My current FPS fix is Deadlink: another roguelike FPS, very tight gunplay and movement, good looking too.

if you can give a few examples what games you enjoyed, i can probably point you in the right direction... i think i have a slight game collecting problem with a few thousand titles, but at least i can help people like you out lol

I really enjoy The Ascent. It's got a great setting, the gameplay is pretty fun, there are various play styles and builds you can spec into.

The only issue is that the devs seem to be done working on the game, and there are issues. Namely, the last mission of the DLC being bugged so you can't officially complete it. And it's been like that for two years at least.

I agree on Red Faction: Guerilla, it shows its age with a lot of bland empty spaces and rudimentary models, but the destruction is still a ton of fun

I recently played through Weird West and absolutely loved it. Makes a lot of sense to learn that it was made by former Arkane Austin people.
