Oh there can be so much walking back and forth in planet crafter, which could be considered grinding in a way. It does get exhausting, but late game that’s changing a bit and it’s kind of part of one of the main heth meters to watch.
I want to love the idea of ark, but I’m 100% with you. I can’t play every day, so it’s kind of a non starter.
Oh absolutely, I have quite a few that just died and went nowhere. Then you’ve got games like you mentioned, Rust, Planet Crafter, 7 Days to Die, The Forest, Sons of the forest… Well, I think it’s kinda obvious what kind of games I like now. And most start in EA, which is fun to watch evolve. I’m definitely more picky these days though due to the small graveyard of other games that went nowhere.
