Factorio

Played the demo for under a half hour and barely understand what the fuck is happening. Will probably try to get into it again when college is no longer in the way.

Finally, a game which can appease my incredibly high bulging inhuman IQ, and that's before I even figure out how to use trains.

I've played 4 hours of this game and I already want to shoot myself

i didnt get it until about an hour in, i felt like i was constantly getting distracted by new things, new upgrades, new improvements i could make to my factory, and then before you knew it four more hours had passed by and i didnt even feel done in the slightest. its actually fucked, im scared to go back to it because i know i will never get sleep again if it sucks me back in. maybe its a bit too good at what it does.

also i initially didnt like the whole tower defense aspect of the game until i realized how much it pushed me to stay on my toes, its a really interesting way to incentivize the player to work harder and harder towards building the factory so that you can build the defense required to hold off against aliens, and then inevitably, wipe them out yourself. its actually cool as shit.

also, even though from a distance everything about how the game works is obtuse and complex as shit, its weirdly accessible once you put your roots down and start working piece by piece (though i have to admit my autistic ass brain often has to stop and think deeply about what to even DO next)

this is what the TV should show when discussing video-game addiction

So much fun just tweaking shit and figuring out where bottlenecks are

brilliant game with plenty of depth and cohesive mechanics. Definitely do not buy it for Nintendo Switch. UI doesn't jibe on console. Just retrieving resources, selecting the tree right in front of you to harvest, or entering the crafting menu are arduous and since the game continues running in real time it's frustrating that it takes forever to perform what should be simple tasks. This is a PC game through and through.
