Not recommended Oct 9, 2026

The first game I've ever seen where multiplayer makes it so much worse! Impressive! Anyway... even for an idle game, this is just lazy design. It's very tedious and really, it doesn't have a lot of redeeming factors to make up for it.

The cake is not a lie, it's an absolute must! The idle however is! This game is pure addiction and should be avoided at all costs if you are a completionist! I do my best to spend less than 2 hours a day online, but mostly fail. There are constant updates and a plethora of minigames with huge bonuses that cripple your progression if you try to purely idle. If you want to download a game and have it play itself for you, run screaming, this is not the game for you. If you want endless hours of active play, while your other 10 characters are offline farming up progress for you, come on down! It starts off slow with no minigames, but more mechanics and hard decisions on where to focus your effort unlock quickly.

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch

Games like Borderlands 3 have to do two things at once: roll a new gun every few minutes and make a skill tree worth planning. These manage both, and one asks you to craft instead.

Games like Dragon Age 2: one city, ten years, three acts

Games like Dragon Age 2 are hard to find because almost no RPG keeps you in one city while it rots. These come close, from Neketaka to the streets of Serene.

Games like Remember Me, for the memory remix more than the city

Games like Remember Me, picked for the Memory Remix rather than the neon: minds you can break into, a vertical city to climb, and combos you build yourself.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.
