If you're looking for a more concentrated intellectual exercise that won't take days at a time to dig into I reccomend Zachtronics games, especially Spacechem, TIS-100, and Infinifactory.
- mdaniel 5y agoI personally find the "uncanny valley" of those too close to home; they're like programming, but without all the normal tools for programming because they're in a game which almost by definition has arbitrary rules and limitations. When I started longing for unit tests in Spacechem, that was the end of it for me I'm glad I own all the ones you mentioned, and maybe I'll revisit them in the future, but I didn't find them fulfilling in the same way Factorio and DSP are
- Hammershaft 5y agoI like the concentrated challenge of the zachtronics titles tho, something that puts me off about digging into Factorio is how long it takes before I start making interesting decisions.
