Title. I like games that require a lot of work to get into. Here are some of my favorites:

  • Eve Online
  • Dwarf Fortress
  • Satisfactory
  • Stellaris - Big real-time space strategy game

    Dominions 5 - Fantasy turn based fantasy strategy game with tons of nations often based on real world mythology mixed with fantasy elements.

    Kingdom Death: Monster - Tabletop (play on tabletop sim) game that mixes Darksouls/Monster Hunter like boss-fights with a little bit of Darkest Dungeons like colony management/attrition/madness

    • Kingdom Death: Monster is awesome. Love it to death. It’s also absolutely terrifying in so many ways. From learning the rules, setting up the game and obviously playing it. Unfortunately we never play it because of location. Sometimes a years goes by between sessions and we are always too overwhelmed setting everything up and getting back into the rules.

    • I was super in to Dominions 3 back in the day, played it online a ton, won a few big games. It’s got a brutal learning curve though. Late game when the turns were on a 96 hour timer and that still felt too short…
