Discussion / Question What game is this for you?

Honestly for me it's Life is Strange: True Colors. Love that game to death, an incredible story and soundtrack, but it seems like a story that just doesn't vibe well with a lot of people. Listen to the soundtrack though, absolutely increible.

Yeah I can’t even properly explain the appeal to someone who doesn’t already know what it is.

"I like games that are difficult because they're overly complicated just to be detailed. Playing the game is like taking a puzzle box apart, but no part feels redundant or pointless. The puzzle box makes sense to itself. This is why I like Dwarf Fortress"

Same goes for Rimworld. When I've tried to explain it people just look at me like I'm nuts. Although that might because I often tell the story of my chickens that were my only food source during a nuclear winter, cold snap, toxic fallout chain of events that drank all 3,000+ beers and died of liver failure Dooming the colony to starve
