RAWG. Before finding out about RAWG I had tried all of those websites you mention plus others but hadn't liked anyone. But with RAWG... I'm still using it regularly after 7 months.
Highlights:
- tons of info for games
- aesthetically pleasant
- you can create "collections" (like playlists in music but with games) and share them
- games discovery by genre, tags, popularity, ratings, etc
So that you have an example, this is my profile: https://rawg.io/@togademi/games
Hey there, Serge here. I'm the editor-in-chief of RAWG, which was mentioned in the thread. As avid gamers ourselves, we try to build the best game tracker on the market and the most comprehensive multiplatform games database. Here's what you can do:
- Sync games from Steam, Xbox, PSN automatically (GOG integration is on the way). Also, there's a fan-made Chrome extension which syncs games with other PC stores as well.
- Set statuses for games (Currently playing, Completed, Abandoned, etc.). We are working to deliver customizable statuses this year too (for multiplayer games, etc.) to help people organize their library their way.
- Browse the biggest games database. We have well over a quarter of a million games and are working with our community to constantly to improve the quality of it. There are lots of multimedia, YouTube and Twitch videos are aggregated automatcially, etc. Basically everything you need to choose whether you want to wishlist/buy a game or not. Oh, also we have links to all the stores where a game is available.
- Tons of features to discover next new games for you: collections, charts, short videos, the release calendar and whatnot.
I am a heavy user of RAWG myself, and a fan of the product. I would use it even if I didn't work here myself. Here's my profile. I also have a problem of backlog—I buy way more than I can play. And I have trouble remembering what I own and what I am playing, so it helps a lot to stay organized and fight my games sales addiction. 😂
Tracer plays into the male fantasy of a lesbian sterotype (It's sexist). Drop the 'reveal' of her sexuality and you still have the controversy over her initial design, the infamous butt pose and that she was most certainly the iconic character used as the promotional face of Overwatch.
For your other ridiculous claim that AAA games aren't pandering to male sexuality with portrayals of women in the last decade: Mortal Kombat; Soul Calibur; Lollipop Chainsaw; The Witcher; Grand Theft Auto; Tekken; Dragons Crown; Dead or Alive (BOOB PHYSICS! :D)
Sexiness being present in games isnt the problem, the problem is that there is a fixation on it to the detriment of what could be considered normal nonsexualized character options especially as so much sexiness just comes across as simple pandering (again, BOOB PHYSICS :D).
Bonus: Badass women in gamedev who are behind the scenes of some of the best games ever made.

I'd recommend trying Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles. It's probably not the first thing that comes to mind when somebody is asking for grinding, judging by what other people here recommend, but it fits your requirements. I played 12 hours and my progress in the game is still less than the half. I bet that it's really easy to just stop progressing through the storyline at some point and start grinding for resources, building farms, crafting, etc.
Here is my review of the game (copied from here → https://rawg.io/reviews/38802).
Yonder is a simple game with lots of mindless crafting and grinding for resources. It is also not very polished and looks half-finished at times—like if you save and do something like launching fireworks and then quickly load the latest save you are about to see the very fireworks that you launched after the save and also some other things like this. The localization is terrible—I looked some other versions apart from the English one, half-hearted translation and some chunks of English texts left here and there.
So why do I ‘recommend’ Yonder?
There are some things that the game gets awesomely right.
First, it's the world, plants, creatures, and overall visual style. Overly-cartoonish, too cute, and vivid, the game is inhabited by some of the funniest animals I have ever seen in-game. The sunset is a joy to watch, and the map is fun to explore.
Second, since the worls is so cute, you actually want to help those tiny humans, and flowers, and trees, and ever-pooping groffles.
Third, it has this “one more thing” feeling in Yonder that makes games addictive in a good way. So grinding for resources feels like something meaningful as well as crafting or trading.
All in all, if you want to really relax in some game, I really recommend you playing Yonder. This might be a good game before going to sleep too! Tested on me and my wife.
the search im using for the bot is actually based on the "levenshtein" edit distance, which i use to filter the results from https://RAWG.io
about game series, RAWG is working on having some kind of series page or mentioning that theres more games in a series, so when thats finished i will probably implement it into the bot
Fez to me was a mind-changing experience. Do play it. Here's my review. I'll quote it below.
A great puzzler-platformer that is so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. The viauls are stunning, the music is very matching and cute (and I am not a huge fan of 8-bit/16-bit/whatever-bit music), the gameplay is captivating.
I loved the beginning of Fez much. I think many games fail to start the story in a right way. Here everything is done in the best way possible, and that moment with the system reboot is just ingenious. When you rotate the 2D-world for the first time you cannot but WOAH WHAT THE HELL?
On a deeper level, one can think of Fez as of a philosophical parable about seeing things from different angles to find some hidden meaning. The fact that the game doesn't have enemies, you are just left alone to contemplate the complexity of the world, deepens the feeling that you read a smart tale – the one that grownups understand completely differently from how children do.

Hey there. A developer of RAWG here. Might be late for the party but still here I am.
I'll be glad if you give a go to our service. We've been investing our blood, sweat and soul into it for the last couple of years and it gets better and better with every gamer coming. It can sync your backlog from Steam, PSN, Xbox and, most recently, GOG automatically and there are a bunch of handy features like rating games, putting games in different categories (Not played/Currently playing/Completed/Abandoned) and the largest games database out there (around 300,000 games on all platforms). This database, among other things, helps redditors on /r/gamesuggestions and /r/AskGames get stores links right in the comments.
I am also on Reddit quite often, so hit me up if you have any questions.

Journey
Journey is an indie game placed in a setting of the vast desert. The protagonist is a nameless and speechless figure moving towards the distant mountain. The player gets to know the story without words, but rather through cutscenes. The main character wears a magical scarf, which allows flying for some time, and recharges it with gathered cloth or simply by walking. From time to time the protagonist finds collectible items and discover ruins that can give additional information about the world or the storyline. The only way of interaction with in-game objects is a shout. The game transfers the atmosphere of an absolute loneliness. However, during the journey the character can meet other players controlling differently dressed, but generally the same figures. Wandering together can be helpful for both players, as they are able to charge one another’s scarves. The thing is that both players cannot communicate each other in any way, except producing noises. Together players can complete levels and continue moving to their final destination.

Hey, if you are still looking for it, I have one. :-D I just bumped into the thread while googling something work-related.
So yes, I work on RAWG.io, which we actually described as “the IMDb of video games” when we started it back in 2017. We launched a public beta back in February and growing every month, add new features, polish existing ones, etc. We have the largest video games database right now (video games ☑️), we have trailers and we have short stories-like video collections on the front page (trailers ☑️), we have video games release dates (release dates ☑️), we have the library with a search, filters and a wishlist, you can have a look at mine here (watchlist ☑️). There are also a heap of other features, such as auto syncing gaming profiles and keeping track with what you are “currently playing” and what's been “abandoned.”
Give it a shot. I'd be glad to hear some feedback from you too, you can always drop me a few lines here on Reddit.
Not exactly what you are looking for, but there was this RPG, Dawn of Magic, I played it way back when it was released ten years ago. So when you cast certain spells there your character's body then morphs to take on some elements reminiscent of the school. Like if you use lots of Earth/Nature magic (I don't remember the names of the shools), your character will grow leaves and twigs. And yes, if you decide to stick to the other school, the changes will fade away and be replaced with other elements eventually.
A crypto company, https://rawg.io/ already got a working website for this. They've got a quite a few big influencers behind them, such as CEO of Niantic, ESL Asia, the Founder of RAWG also founded Kanobu, and brought in a bunch of other Eastern European big hitters
