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.


Do you know of Songs of Syx?
A bit like a large-scale rimworld, with a focus on managing a big population and world diplomacy/war.
A bit hard to get into, though.
Also, what about project zomboid? A bit far from your description I guess, but who knows.
I tried the demo of song of styx but didn’t really manage to do anything because I didn’t understand the menu symbols. Is there a tutorial or something that I missed?
I don’t know how long ago you tried, now the game is reaching near completion and there is a tutorial.
It is pretty hard to get into IMO, you need to get used to many concepts and sometimes weird menus and such, that is the problem of the game. I guess you can give a try to the tutorial now and see if it spikes your interest more, the game has changed a lot over the past years.
I think there is a tutorial but I didn’t touch it, I just started my hemp empire.
