    Automation games like Factorio, Satisfactory, etc. I have tried. Everyone makes them seem like the most addictive form of digital crack there is. I just can’t get into them. They feel too much like work to me. Please tell me where the fun is that I am clearly missing

      If I had some pearls I’d be clutching them right now. The biters made you write this, didn’t they?

      Seems to me that you’re not missing any fun. It’s just that the gameplay that fans of the factory building genre find entertaining, you don’t. For me it’s the fun of an ever growing interconnected mesh of production lines. It’s like a series of complex puzzles that are based on how I solved the ones before. And trains… I love trains.

      Personally I just can’t get into Souls-likes. I’ve tried several times and none of them have ever clicked for me.
