Same!
I ducking love Subnautica so much but I can never progress lol. Too scary. I'm so ridiculously excited for 2, which is insane cus the same thing will happen lol.
Conan Exiles is one of my favorite games. I got invited to the beta for this. And I tried 3 different times to enjoy myself and just couldn't. Kind of sad. It looked like it could have been cool.
They keep it for the history, so bring it some historical cars. Make an event of it. Make it so the track has a track day 2 other times a year with cars the public can rent out and compare track times. Don't even have a race just do quali time trials and that's it.
I'm a perfect game sure, but most of these are far from perfect. They often don't explain mechanics, rely heavily on changing Metas, RNG, pure chance, reflexes that some people just will not have no matter what their attitude or mindset is, and so on. Let's have it, these games are FULL of jank.
At the end of the day, the "pros" don't need to adjust their difficulty if they don't want to. More options is never a bad thing.
This game is a weird one for me. It kind of punishes growth or improvement to me, and neither are necessary or forced.
Every time I play it I realize I can just not have any offspring except when needed to keep the population at exactly the same amount.
Then you just don't build upgraded buildings or anything and everyone lives a happy, safe, and stable existence lol.
I'm not sure what mechanic or combination of mechanics in this game specifically become the burden that makes me not want to expand but something in it makes me just want to start at beginning tech. The word snowball effect of new problems and challenges...
Here's why.
