Maybe you would like Hardspace Shipbreaker? That's a good game with unusual mechanics. Or maybe Factorio if you enjoy Terraria. Maybe Ark Raiders or Valheim if you like action multiplayer games?

I think its easier to discover a game with a good story then a game with novel mechanics, but they exist.

I do enjoy Valheim and Cracktorio. Ark Raiders looks cool, but I hate PvP experiences as I suck at shooters and prefer to avoid online dick measuring contests. Also wouldn't get my friends to play it with me. Gotta check out the Shipbreaker thingy

Apparently arc silos players based on aggression so if you don’t engage in pvp it puts you with other players who don’t and if you do with those who do

Some people really like it, some do not (I don’t play just have some friends who enjoy it)

lotta reviews of shipbreaker, including lets-plays where it's just a guy streaming slow country music while welding apart starship parts.

easy to find one -- you'll know if it's your jam and worth buying after a few minutes

> Cracktorio

I still can't determine if it was the long COVID or staying up until 5am playing this fucking thing that made my coworker act so erratically for months on end.

I woved not to touch that as I prefer to remain employed.
