n64-ish

just the right level of micro/macro management

4.25/5 - missing some QoL stuff that dyson sphere has (like deleting an entire belt) and some weird restrictions (only 1 variant of X, not everything has a symmetrical version) but super fun

SE4 : SE5 :: HZD : HFW

single player is basically the same game plus a few new features, more weapon customization, and a skill tree

(no data on multiplayer because i didn't play it much in SE4)

diablo 3 - kind of easy
path of exile - way too complex
last epoch - just right

0.8.2 update seems to be solid

this is a good cross of city building, god-like features, and resource management, recommended even in EA

really solid for EA (and running on mac): reminds me of early prison architect or early craft the world - the core features are there but missing some content/options/growth - and this is updated weekly which is awesome

closest analogy is probably gnomoria but in 2d: gnomoria is more complex (3d) and has more content/options/buildings but it's more buggy and fiddly (building mines is a huge pain)

i'm looking forward to more buildings/tech, more keyboard shortcuts (use both arrows and wasd would be nice), and maybe some zooming/scaling UI support

this was fun (turn-based, positional battles) but the F2P aspects (pay per character, pay per special attack) kill the enjoyment - i would purchase if it was fixed-price/single-player though - recommend hearthstone (turn-based, positional battles, reasonable unlocks, crafting) instead

this is the "Wisconsin Death Trip" of crafting games

short but very very good - i had to peek at a walkthrough a couple o' times
