Well, as a Factorio and Rimworld player I know which one I am...
Big same. I'm closing in on 10k hours in Rimworld (been playing since 2016) and don't know if I should be proud or ashamed.
I really love city builders and settlement type games but I just cannot figure out how the fuck to play Rimworld. I've been through the tutorial like 5 times. I honestly don't understand what I'm missing. Love the ANNO series, played games like Prison Architect, 'Honey I started a cult', etc. so it's not like I'm unfamiliar. Idk. I feel like my brain is just broken with that game.
Yeah, I've no idea how I figured it all out, but I remember a steep learning curve.
The big thing for me is finding a rhythm in the gameplay loop and just sitting comfy in it. While I often describe the game as my "war crime simulator" and a "frantic rush from one dumpster fire to the next", I still find my deepest chill just watching my pawns live their lives farming rice and ranching a herd of boomalope.
