Hahha, yes! This is exactly how I feel about automation games. I never want to play them, but if I start one up I'll easily lose 6+ hours and then never touch it again for months. I've had Autonauts vs Piratebots on my wishlist, but I think I'm second guessing it, now. Picking which game to play is a whole weird thing. I have too many games and regret not spending more time with them and I also have games that I don't own that I want sooo bad knowing full well that I'll play it for a couple of hours and then leave it unplayed for large portions of time. Oh, and a game suggestion. I know this is going to sound like I'm joking, but I promise I'm not. A fantastic PC game: Bang-On Balls: Chronicles. I don't know how to describe this game, but it feels a bit like Mario 64 but instead of jumping into paintings, he's jumping into movies. Def an underrated gem that's out there. Again; a fantastic video. Thank you. This one feels cozy and the humor is spot-on. Keep up the great work.
Thank you! I’ll have a into that game, sounds interesting! I’ve also got a whole bunch of games that I’ve bought on my to-play list but also heaps on my wish list. Not enough time in the day haha
I have never complete at least half of evolution at Autonauts because it gets just annoying after certain moment. But still interesting game. It makes me always abandon my previous save, and start another one in 3 months later, because when I am trying to continue my previous save - I already forget mechanism of my previous game.And it is going on and on 4th time already.
I like games like this - but I'd rather be the one mining / etc. or automating - without robots. Not sure I'd like this one seems a bit much :) Right now I've been hooked on "Across the Obelisk".
Medieval dynasty is a bit like that You start up a village and assign villagers to tasks like hunting, making tools, selling products, and farming to make a few
thank you for that review. I found if informative and comprehensive and also honest, but I don't understand, if you don't like automation games - why did you pick this one up ?
I think this game is super-cute, but it's too easy, and bugs kept me from getting anywhere near finishing (same with the new Autonauts v Pirates game, too).
I am confused about this game. Some people complain it is tedious, others say if it is being tedious, you are not playing correctly. Apparently the UI is not good, so it makes people miss very helpful things. So, is this game actually tedious, or tedious because most people are not able to understand what they are supposed to do?
"If it is tedious you're not playing it right" is spot on. I call Autonauts "the misunderstood game" because many play it like a farming game. They busy themselves with mundane tasks, which bots could do for them. And when you're busy chopping wood, digging turf, gathering berries etc., your mind isn't free to think about smart scripting. You don't take the time to watch the effect your code has.
not quite, @innerbytes The game was designed for PCs. The console edition, which Lamo tried, was an afterthought and the concept of the game isn't well suited for that. Especially the programming part, which is essentially what this gem is all about, is a lot (!) easier with mouse and keyboard. (edited for spelling mistake)
This is a really good review, thank you and keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!
The music from this game has stuck in my head ever since.

Thanks for a great honest simple review 👍
Thank you very much 😊
Automation games make my neurodivergent brain happy.
Helpful, informative review. Thank you! 😊

Yeah I’m with you there, although I thought Autonauts did a pretty good job with it

There's many genres that aren't really my go-to but I find that sometimes even then I fall in love with a game. So I guess I just wanted to see 😊

That's pity. Sounds like a game with a big potential, but ruined by wrong design around complexity.
