    I don’t know if a $35 game would count for this, but RimWorld has absorbed vast amounts of my life, and it is a very good game.

        I’ve done the math a few times and it currently has cost me about 8 cents per hour played including all dlc

          According to Steam, I’m at 2.29¢ per hour. Even if it’s only half of that – quite a bit of those 3,700 hours was spent paused, playing a bit here and there throughout the day – that’s a phenomenal value.

      Isn’t RimWorld one of those games that is like heroin? I’m too scared to try it

        For me, I do eventually get tired of it. But then a new dlc comes out and I make a new colony or two to experience the new stuff. And I have spent 100+ hours on colonies before.

        It can really suck you in for sure. You may want to avoid it if you experience video game addiction. But, on the other hand, it has given me something to actually look forward to. Shrug

          Naw, Rimworld is like Dwarf Fortress, nothing like Factorio

          They have an overlapping fan base, but they’re distinctly different games. I prefer RimWorld, personally, but I have put many hours into Factorio, as well.
