I'm still playing Dyson Sphere Program when I have time but it's been busy. I got my sphere mostly done in my home planet and have a sphere design in mind for my next but I need to get endgame white science on farm first before that. I think I'm actually starting to lose interest in the game which is fine sing I got a few hundred hours in. That's rare for my attention span.
My kid and I finished Mario Odyssey on this playthrough recently. He ended up playing most of the second half and was knocking out levels on his own. Can't lie I was both impressed and proud of him. He's actually currently working through postgame stuff now which I didn't even know existed.
I'm still not done with Antimatter Dimensions... I'm on the last mechanic and about halfway through it but I think I'm ready to be finished with it.
Noice. Dyson Sphere Program sounds 'ight. Right up my alley, even. Tbh, strategy games don't do it for me, but that one sounds good. Also, damn, Super Mario Odyssey is also a great game! Glad for your kid.
I feel like automation games strike a very different itch than traditional strategy games. The goal is (generally) not to build up to defeat some enemy but just to build for the sake of building even more. As a kid I always loved strategy games for the base building, but never liked the fighting my enemy part so much. I think that is why I really enjoy the automation and city builder genres.
Some have combat, but they are almost always secondary to the core of the game. Dyson has no combat yet, but it is coming in the near future. Still will be totally optional though.
DSP is my favourite of all the factory games and first one I recommend to people. I like the clean scifi aesthetic, it is probably the best visuals of a game in that genre, just seeing the dyson swarms form into a sphere over the horizon is really pretty. The devs seem like genuinely awesome people who give clear updates, plus I like to support Chinese game devs.
I am honestly not super interested in the upcoming combat update, because I never like the base defense aspect of those games.
