    Factorio.

    Everything—the gameplay, the music, the art style—feels like I hand selected it. There’s not a single decision the devs made that I wouldn’t have made too.

      Dude I’m actively avoiding it.
      Cause like, my favourite is anno 1404 and recently I have been caught up with factory town idle.
      Both games are about optimising production and trade routes.

      You can see my apprehension now I’m sure.

      Factorio never goes on sale, and will never go on sale. I’d recommend just picking a time and buying it

      I’ve been watching for a sale, if that ever happens. I just picked up Satisfactory on sale and had a similar conversation with a friend. I said I’m definitely the target demographic for it and Factorio is the other on radar.

        Factorio never ever goes on sale, out of principle. The devs have stated on multiple occasions. They know what their game is worth and they’re upfront about asking every player to pay the same price for it.

        If you’re interested in Factorio at full price, no harm in buying now. If you will never buy it at full price, you will never buy it.

          That’s fair, though if it never goes on sale, then there’s no rush either. I’ll get my fill of Satisfactory first and then probably reconsider it then.

              No worries. Knowing that it virtually never goes on sale is still useful information and helpful in my decision making. Thanks!

        I don’t think Factorio ever goes on sale but imo it’s worth full price.

        If you like Satisfactory, there’s an extremely high chance you’ll like Factorio. The main differences are the obvious 2D top-down vs 3D 1st person and Factorio has a robust military/combat system with base defense while Satisfactory is mostly peaceful unless you’re exploring.

          You can turn off combat in both games if you just want factory building. Shapez and Shapez2 are all solid entries in the factory game genre.

          Oh I don’t doubt that I’d enjoy it, I just rarely pay full price for games anymore. It gives me StarCraft vibes.

          Perhaps when I’ve tired myself of Satisfactory, I’ll pick it up, if it still hasn’t gone on sale by then.

          In the meantime though, I also have Mindustry.

    Descenders

    Idk why. Well, I do know why: I grew up in an era where Flash games started to do physics-based gameplay, and something about that just made them endlessly replayable and easy to do while focusing on something else like a lecture or whatever.

    So many games these days demand your full attention. And that’s great, when you have time for it. But if I just have 45 minutes to derp around while I catch up with friends on Discord, I can’t dive into an epic boss fight that I was prepping for a month ago.

    Kingdom Come Deliverance. Low fantasy, no map marker (in hard mode), no superhumans or anything too fancy…

      Is this the most recent Kingdom Come 2? I’d been thinking of getting it myself, I play great stories over and over (RDR2, Cyberpunk, Alan Wake 2). But I’ve literally played them all so much that I’m about to be tired of replaying them. So I need a new game to 100% complete, this and STALKER2 have been on my list, but S2 hasn’t been released for ps5.

        No, first one. 2 has not been released yet.

    Currently playing Shadow Man Remastered and I’m feeling this way about it. I always wanted to try it as a kid but never had the chance and it’s better than I ever expected.

    Outer Wilds, it has exactly everything I love. I wish I could play it again for the first time, though being unable to do that is one of the reasons I love it

    I highly recommend it, it’s great, just don’t spoil yourself by watching things, even the trailers honestly

    Stardew Valley. I was a big fan of Harvest Moon FOMT and kept hearing that I should play it and when I did was I blown away. It felt incredibly similar and 90% of the time I thought “It would be nice if this is a feature” it was
