I like community builders and games that I can keep a world for years and grow, watch it evolve. I enjoy Rimworld. ARK evolved series is good.
Bonus if it’s multiplayer capable LAN and not online.
Oxygen not included is nice but mentally taxing sometimes. I prefer laid back chill games with economy and farming. 2d or 3d doesn’t matter. I don’t mind trying indie games. Survival based games are nice. I’m not super pick and choose.
Give me your greatest joy in game form. I’ve heard Stardew Valley is good. I tried it, reminds me of a gameboy game. I could not get into the game. My character kept falling asleep like 14 times in a day.
I promise it gets better! Improving your farming skill increases your energy efficiency while farming, that helps a lot. There are other ways to raise your energy as well. But yeah, I’ve been playing it for so long that I actually forgot that the first start was a little rough. So, thanks for the reminder. :)
I guess the one reason why SDV is filed as ‘not stressful’ in my head is because I know that it’s impossible to permanently mess up in that game. Every little thing you do helps you, little by little.
