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.
Vntage Story is pretty neat, it does require a WAN connection to start it for the first time but AFAIK it’s possible to play it completely offline afterwards.
Beimg as mechanically complex as it is you’d think you need a wiki open the entire time, but the ingame “guide” has everything you need to know.
I don’t know about the state of public multiplayer servers, but it is LAN compatible and it actively supports modding!
I have had it check my account after long periods of not starting the game. Infrequent internet connections briefly appear to be required to play it. Not sure how hard that would be to bypass.
So if you are going to be without internet for a very long time then you may want to look into that in more detail. Otherwise, great game.
