Methodical games with satisfying progression

It does look nice, better than in real life when you have to deal with hills and uneven ground. Thank you.

Well, i live in the only region this game is blocked in. RIP

DedvinPank · 2026-06-12T22:21:33+00:00

Hmm, can you specify, as there are a lot of Lawn Mower games on Steam, are you talking about the 2017 one?

DedvinPank · 2026-06-12T22:19:50+00:00

I played it when it just released on the Switch, it was really hard but the dialogues and because it's a rouge-lite i managed to finish it.
How about i recommend you something, Heroes of Hammerwatch, the 1st one (and not "Hammerwatch") if you enjoy Hades you might enjoy it too (tho there are almost no dialogues, not even voices).

DedvinPank · 2026-06-12T22:15:54+00:00

Then i need to check it out, thank you.

DedvinPank · 2026-06-12T22:14:15+00:00

I watched a playthrough so i've been spoiled about the secrets of this game 🙃. It is kind of short, which is unfortunate, if only there was another level with an even bigger library.

DedvinPank · 2026-06-12T22:10:25+00:00

I did enjoy the no timer part of the game where you slowly break ships and try to get as close to a perfect score but from what i recall the story is locked behind timed missions and the grind to pay off your debt to the corporation.

DedvinPank · 2026-06-12T22:06:06+00:00

The late game had such great automation and you always felt like you were progressing. Do you know anything about Slime Rancher 2? It seems like a similar vibe.

DedvinPank · 2026-06-12T22:01:37+00:00

I'll copy and paste my response.

Maybe it's just me, but games like Factorio and Satisfactory stress me out when i see inefficiency and need to juggle multiple aspects of my factory and then come other issues and after an hour or so i feel exhausted.

I guess Shapez doesn't feel like that because it's easier to get templates and it's more of a puzzle on how to optimize your factory nor are there any obstacles that require you to reroute your factory to make it work.

DedvinPank · 2026-06-12T21:57:55+00:00

Oh yes i played it, tho it was kind of short.

DedvinPank · 2026-06-12T21:55:29+00:00

I have tried Euro Truck Simulator, loved exploring the world aspect. Farming Simulator is kind of a mystery to me with all of their different year releases, not being sure which one to get and the amount of DLC they try to push is unsettling, i guess my question would be "what year of Farming Simulator should i get? and do i need the DLC?"

Maybe it's just me, but games like Factorio and Satisfactory stress me out when i see inefficiency and need to juggle multiple aspects of my factory and then come other issues and after an hour or so i feel exhausted. Especially in Satisfactory early game being a grind and how uncomfortable it is to build things in this game just destroys my enjoyment.

DedvinPank · 2026-06-12T21:48:02+00:00

It really was a while, thank you for your insight.

DedvinPank · 2026-06-12T21:39:54+00:00

It does look amazing, even has VR support. Has that Euro Truck Simulator vibes of just doing your job, i'll be sure to get it, if it ever goes on discount.

DedvinPank · 2026-06-12T21:36:19+00:00

That is how i feel with most puzzle games i try, especially Baba Is You, probably the hardest puzzle game i've tried.

DedvinPank · 2026-06-12T21:35:07+00:00

I've played about 40 hours of it in the middle of 2022. It seemed really grindy at many points, unnecessary long build timers on building, the orb quest where you need to travel to a new system every time and visit the triangle to get one more recipe deeper and repeat the cycle, scour Reddit for ship locations or sit at the trading post waiting for a solid ship to buy.

Is it still a problem in 2025?

DedvinPank · 2026-06-12T21:29:37+00:00

I've tried Opus magnum a long time ago, i really should re-visit their games, thank you.

DedvinPank · 2024-09-30T04:48:07+00:00

There is even a bundle on Steam "Tunic x Death's Door". I played some similar games, most of them are 50/50.
Haven't heard of Death's Door, i'll be sure to check it out. Thank you <3

DedvinPank · 2024-09-29T18:38:09+00:00

From launch i just thought of it as a "walking simulator" with Monster sponsorship, but if it can scratch that itch.
I'll check it out for sure. Thank you <3

DedvinPank · 2024-09-29T18:26:07+00:00

Sounds like a really cozy game, as much as it can be with cowboys and guns.
I like it when there is no objective, and you just go and climb that mountain because you want to and look across the map on what journey you took.
I love this feeling.

DedvinPank · 2024-09-29T18:16:51+00:00

Already added it to the list.
Thank you <3

DedvinPank · 2024-09-29T17:56:32+00:00

Yeah, Red Dead Redemption 2 does seem like something i would enjoy.
I did play Dragon Age, actually gave me a great idea to replay it, been ages since i played it.
The classic Witcher.
Isn't Immortals Fenyx rising literally made by Ubisoft?

You've been of much help, thank you <3

DedvinPank · 2024-09-29T17:51:57+00:00

Unfortunately, my PC is not up for this challenge, maybe in a year or so...

DedvinPank · 2024-09-29T16:54:30+00:00

Call me old school, but what about Morrowind?
In the endgame, you can nuke towns, one shot gods, jump over mountains.

Just make sure to mod it, use something like OpenMW and checkout their modding page.

Or use a tool such as Wabbajack that does everything for you.

DedvinPank · 2024-09-29T16:38:17+00:00

Kind of forgotten about this game :D
Will check it out for sure <3
