Counter-Strike 2

I think cs appeals to me as a nerdy sports fan (and millions of others) because it has simple rules which makes it approachable but has a very high skill ceiling - much like traditional sports

Love this video for exploring this idea in a structured way

that's it to me.

same as golf it has the you compete against yourself because there's no practical ceiling to hit. you can always do better.

and you have parts that are "random" e.g. teammates, enemy actions etc that make each round different (in golf these are weather, the course itself, your form, ...)
