Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead

I have been going in and out with this game since last year in short bursts, but it's only now that it clicked with me. There's a lot of simulation going on at once that you can feel overwhelmed youve missed reading some stats. Focusing more on your own intuition, and the stats that matter to you that moment is very good for getting yourself into this game. This game is really fun paired with some ambient tunes of your choosing.

I really like how this game invites the player to make creative decisions around problems. which is made much more possible by the amount of choices available. Need to loot some antibiotics at the clinic deep in the city but theres a lot of enemies on the way? Move through houses at night when its dark, plan out your raid.

this was my entry point for dwarf fortress and tile based games
