Been playing Dwarf Fortress... All I can say is: it's awesome and terrible at the same time. It's insanely deep and complex, the graphics are horrendous, the UX abysmal, the gameplay is punishing: yet, it's incredibly fun and addictive. Absolutely perfect!

@ericd I haven't been able to get into the original; it is so unforgiving. But I play derivatives, and things that have prettier UIs on top of basically the same mechanics. 😛

@33MHz I also play games that are in the same spirit. Dungeon Keeper of course, also Terraria, and other sandbox-typed games - with a preference for KeeperRL, which is a rogue-lite + dungeon master, kinda. Which ones do you play?

@ericd yep, those, and there are a lot that were probably inspired gameplay… I think DF inspired Minecraft gameplay, the sandbox revolution.
