Which game is it?
This is what enables me to gaslight myself into thinking I must not be a proper neurodivergent, as I do not spend all my days playing (insert whateverthefuck it is today that is considered the most autistic), while simultaneously believing that Dwarf Fortress is and will probably forever be the best game ever made, and shaming myself for not being immediately capable of playing something like Aurora 4X without going through any tutorials.
thankfully none of that matters haha lol let's go gaymerzzzzz
Dwarf fortress is one of those games I keep going back to. Aurora is similar but I can see how it'd be more opaque. DF premium means I've had to relearn years of muscle memory though.
Yeah, same here with DF. I love the fact that the premium exists and that they are as successful as they are on Steam, the only problem for me is that I'm too poor to buy it :D but I've tried it via alternative means now that adventure mode was released, something I've never even tried in the past. The whole experience was pretty much "I have no idea what I'm doing. 10/10 I love it."

Currently Destiny 2. Its had a chokehold on me since 2019 and despite all the crap it's been through I really don't think I can find another game like it.
Splatoon's a runner up but I just couldn't find myself loving 3 like I did 2
I mean, I actually think it's a relatively competent game, but it does have graphics straight out of the nineties and puzzle-y gameplay which neuro-boring people would probably call boring: !dcss@lemmy.ml
And yeah, might be about 1/3 of my life since it's been my most-played game fairly consistently.
Europa Universalis IV
Final Fantasy XI. I have thousands of hours into it on a free private server and it never gets old. Everything about the game is just perfect to scratch the dopamine loop for me.
That’s great! If you have fun, everything should be fine :)
For me, it’s Eurotruck Simulator. I just drive around and have done this for over 3000 hours.
None. I never played a video game to "please others". I might have avoided the Sonic franchise around the peak of the whole CWC fiasco (if you don't know, then you're a happy man for not knowing it, don't google, bing, duckduckgo, or searng it!), but at worst I thought it wasn't me who had autism, but people around me were hyperfixated on "normalcy" and "causing harm to those who they're allowed to".
Satisfactory
The Finals
The entire whatever-a-pix series.
I was obsessed with everything about this game. The gameplay/glitches, music, even the art style influenced my own. I even contacted the developpers to ask if they had the soundtrack because I wanted to listen to it on the bus.
