Orwell’s? Nice piece of literature ngl

1984

Didn't mean to delete that comment lol sorry

Hell yeah! I mean, If you don't mind the graphics, the complete randomness and like making little stories in your head... it's a no brainer. We are talking about Minecraft's grandpa haha

If you are more into the colony simulation stuff, Songs of Syx might be what you are looking for too ;)

is dwarf fortress good?

Hey! no worries, I'm not bothered at all. Well, that's an interesting question as both games are unforgiving in their own way imo.

DD1's difficulty comes in its resource management and by keeping your veteran characters alive to face the horrors that lurk in the depths of the state, whereas DD2's difficulty comes in choosing the right skill set and character combos to affront the unpredictability of its RNG.

Another way to put it would be like this: DD1 = Plan carefully, choose the right items, each dungeon is unpredictable. DD2 = Be creative, plan as you go, be adaptable. So, to answer your question, it depends on *how* you like to suffer haha.

I hope this helps! Sorry if I'm missing something or if perhaps there's something not completely clear. This is merely my perspective.

Have a good one and cheers!
