It's a bit cheesy, but X-Com: Enemy Within I thoroughly enjoyed. You may have to get used to turn-based combat instead of RTS. It's probably the closest thing to AAA that I'd recommend. Honestly, since Mass Effect, most AAA has been flashy trash.
If you want something even more think-y than that, Defense Grid is still my favorite Tower Defense game, and a great time-sink (DG2 is coming out late Q3 or early Q4 as well).
Bastion is another amazing game, sharing a trait with Defense Grid that some devs are seemingly starting to bank on: a kickass narrator (sorry, Aura...you just don't match Mr. Gravel-and-cigars from Bastion).
Then again, if you want to get that EVE feeling of ultimate despair, desolation and worthlessness, ultimately nothing more than a tiny cog in an uncaring and hateful world, there's always Papers, Please. Only thing it lacks is...no, no, goons will try to gank you there, too.

Also, Supreme Commander. It-¦s quite nice if you have a thing for RTS
I've played all of the games in that (spiritual) succession:
- Total Annihilation (and sequels and add-on packs): lots of fun
- Supreme Commander (with Forged Alliance or without, the best of the lot)
- SupCom 2 (dumbed down SupCom)
- Planetary Annihilation (crashed on me the first couple of times I tried to launch a game... I'll get back to it again in a few more patch cycles)
It's funny, I know have a whole set of games that I'm waiting for them to grow playable.
- PA (as mentioned above)
- Star Forge (extremely rough)
- Kerbal Space Program (already playable and fun... still growing)
- Galactic Civilizations 3 (you can play the conquest game, but no ship editor, crashes)
- Kinetic Void (progressing)
- Space Engineers
- Star Citizen ( )
- X Rebirth (ughh)

"great" games:
Eve-Online
South Park: The Stick of truth
DoTA 2 (Wanna play!? :) )
The Walking dead (Season One and Two!)
The Wolf Among Us
XCom: Enemy Unknown (and all DLCs)
Fallout: New Vegas (search net for mods :) )
"great" Indie games:
FTL
Plague Inc
Bastion
Prison Architect
Binding of Issac
Mark of the Ninja
Robocraft (Like Legos? Like World of Tanks? Likes lots and lots of guns? Space pewpew? All in one!)
All I can think of right now. :)
I spent 41 hours on South Park: SoT. Most of the time just exercising my "dragon shouts" to hear Cartman laugh from afar. It's as though he knew a giant flatus had occurred without even being present.
