It is a true tragedy that SS13 will never have the enormous following it deserves. I often struggle to convey how engaging an experience it is, even with an absurdly obtuse interface. Dwarf Fortress is a lot of fun too, but nothing can surpass the emergent, anarchic glory of SS13.
If I can sway you in this comment, please. Treat yourself to two full playthroughs with the wiki open in another tab. You may just be hooked.
