  I totally get you. There are games that are fun and easy to 100% also there are games that are challenging and rewarding to 100% and then there are games that are so annoying that you are better off just leaving them ‘unfinished’.

  I completed both Dark Souls 1 and 2 and both had that multiple playthrough requirement but I will not make myself run those steps in DS3 for 7-8 hours just to get those proofs of concord kept. That’s just… no.

  Past me was much more serious completing games but now days I want to experience many games so I can’t be stuck with just one title. Time for entertainment is limited I’m afraid.

  I’m the exact opposite of the OP in the article. I love achievements and can call myself achievement hunter. I have even written multiple non-spoiler achievement guides for others. I get a more accomplished and fulfilling feeling after beating a game 100% achievement wise instead of just seeing the credits.

  There are of course games where achievements make no sense and games where the achievements feel like ‘slop’. Take a look of for example the digital version of the board game Talisman and its list of achievements. I can’t believe anyone finds going through those kinds of achievements fun and rewarding.

  In addition of the beating the game 100% I find it fun to ‘compete’ against my friends whether they know I’m doing that or not. Comparing for example Steam achievements lets me do it. If someone has 54/67 achievements I want to have 55.

  I love engineering games like that but I don’t believe any game will check all the boxes you want.

  Like others here I vouch for Satisfactory Trucks and especially the Railways. You can go quite deep there if you want. Drones do the clipping and are bit too easy so skip them.

  While not what you exactly wished I’d say give Transport Tycoon or rather OpenTTD a go. While not as pedantic with traffic as you hope you will have a blast of a time doing beautifully orchestrated trains, airports, ferries and trucks/busses and optimizing the routes from resources to consumers.

  And to reiterate. I don’t believe a game exists that matches most of your wishes. I hope it will eventually!

  One of the best examples of a game that did it right was Heaven’s Vault. The game was decent/mediocre (imo) but every time I opened it it summarized what I did last time and it had awesome timeline history

  In Stardew valley no matter what you had done its so easy to just start doing something you like and the game smoothes you in. Its plot has zero time limits after all

  I’m going against the grain and say I love watching someone else play the game they’re good at. And I will provoke a bit and say it’s the same as watching someone pro playing football versus playing it yourself.

  I cannot play horror games at all but I will consume every and all playthroughs of known good horror games. Then again I would never watch someone play crpg or mmo, the games I’m actually good at.

  I just love to see some high level rocket league game play or trackmania or Fortnite or a Elden Ring challenge run versus playing myself those games. I have limited time but want to experience many games and I feel watching them is almost as good as playing them without actually spending thousands of hours getting good.

  Thanks for making these posts!

  Just to add more info on those images you found for Dolphin. The original art without the text is from this artist www.artstation.com/pierreroussel/albums/8482338. I love them.

  Awesome read. I bought the game few weeks ago and the tutorial was a huge letdown. I’m glad I took time and played the game instead of trying to understand the tutorial which made the game look so complicated and confusing. I hope they remake it someday and summarize it instead of overexplaining.

  Been playing for ten hours now and hoping to win with each deck. So much fun!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help me out: which looks better for the Duck - the neck tie or the bow tie?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Why not both and add a few more. Make the game randomize which attire the duck has from a limited pool of costumes and force a change maybe as often as after every save/load/level.

  Totally unnecessary but silly feature. If there is any mention of the duck in the environment/narration you can add jokes about ducks being indecisive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People seem to really dislike Destiny 2. Why haven't they ended it yet?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have never played Destiny 2 and wanted to try it out one month ago. I asked on Reddit what to do as a free-to-play player to get a good insight of what the game has to offer.

  The gatekeeping was unreal. They said unless I’m willing to dedicate hundreds of hours I should not even try and rather uninstall the game immediately. For sure they made it feel that new players are not welcome.

  Playerbase toxicity was a harsh reality. The game story, even in the broadest sense, was hard to grasp. The new player experience in-game was miserable. I have no idea what their money making plan is. Live service games need new players to stay healthy.
