Cactus Simulator 2 is not for everyone. If you're looking for fast-paced action, intricate combat, or complex narratives, this isn’t the game for you. But if you’re in the mood for a peaceful, zen-like experience where the joy comes from simply existing in a beautiful, ever-changing world, then it might be the perfect fit. The game’s strange premise is actually its strength—it’s a meditative journey that encourages players to slow down and appreciate the beauty of nature, even in its most desolate form.

Is it very un-optimized or is it mining for bitcoin? I have it on realistic mode, so its a black screen with a score counter. I also use the NVIDIA control panel to turn everything I could to off, low, power saving, etc. Before doing this, it was using 60% of my gpu and a very high amount of power (according to task manager). After doing these things, nothing changed. I even tried setting the priority to low, and after restarting the game it was automatically set back to normal. I reset it because setting it to low didn't make a change. I find this game and the concept hilarious, but looking at task manager it seems very fishy.6 found this helpful
