I like community builders and games that I can keep a world for years and grow, watch it evolve. I enjoy Rimworld. ARK evolved series is good.

Bonus if it's multiplayer capable LAN and not online.

Oxygen not included is nice but mentally taxing sometimes. I prefer laid back chill games with economy and farming. 2d or 3d doesn't matter. I don't mind trying indie games. Survival based games are nice. I'm not super pick and choose.

Give me your greatest joy in game form. I've heard Stardew Valley is good. I tried it, reminds me of a gameboy game. I could not get into the game. My character kept falling asleep like 14 times in a day.

I tried the demo of song of styx but didn't really manage to do anything because I didn't understand the menu symbols. Is there a tutorial or something that I missed?

Edit: The game didn't properly do full screen because of my settings so the bar with the build menu etc was not visible, I am now able to play just fine

I think there is a tutorial but I didn't touch it, I just started my hemp empire.

I don't know how long ago you tried, now the game is reaching near completion and there is a tutorial.

It is pretty hard to get into IMO, you need to get used to many concepts and sometimes weird menus and such, that is the problem of the game. I guess you can give a try to the tutorial now and see if it spikes your interest more, the game has changed a lot over the past years.
