Title. I like games that require a lot of work to get into. Here are some of my favorites:
- Eve Online
- Dwarf Fortress
- Satisfactory
It’s been pretty close to 30 years for me. Beautiful game, but so hard to get anywhere!
I started Kerbal Space Program this weekend. It’s pretty complicated.
There’s some book about orbital dynamics that hit the Amazon bestseller list because of Kerbal players.
I know that people to get into it seem to like the realism mods that make it even more complicated and less forgiving.
I watched some one being tutored on it and it completely lost me. The real science in that game is waaaay beyond me. Kudos to the people that get it and enjoy it though.
In it you write JavaScript to hack things to be able to write more JavaScript to hack more things. It’s very fun. Especially if you don’t know how to write any JavaScript.
Escape From Tarkov. I love/hate that game.
Shenzhen I/O and TIS-100 take some getting used to.
The Witness is amazing, if you like puzzle games that take a lot of time to figure out the rules.
100% Stellaris (assuming it counts)
I just started this last night. Reminds me of Civ5 but in space. I’m enjoying it so far. So much stuff to do.
Dwarf Fortress of course. Other good mentions are Factorio and Rimworld, if you understand them and are done with it, install a couple hundred mods and have a whole different game!
I won’t lie the new steam release of Dwarf Fortress has helped alot but there’s still so much that’s possible and tiny little things that affect other things.
RimWorld. Easy to play, hard to master. Also Rust
Figured out RimWorld? Great, add 20 mods and learn it all again. Repeat when you get bored.
Hahaha exactly
