it's not hard, it's just complex. it's hard to learn but the game isn't like a challenge. It's more just a simulation that people enjoy forming stories from.

Not at all. Like Dark Souls, normies just think anything that requires a bit more thought or time is the hardest thing ever.

I wish I could get into it but it feels all so obscure...

the hardest part is learning that losing is fun
you have to have a head for it otherwise the game will suck
building up your fortress just about fending off everything then being wiped out by some troll wearing 900 bone necklaces of the creatures she;s killed
checking the legends mode and seeing where she came from, who she killed, etc
then starting up adventure mode and tracking her down and ending her
rinse and repeat
if you just want some shitty base build resource game play rimworld, it's pretty much a kids game for kids wanting to larp as having actual taste

It's not hard, it's just annoying as fuck to do anything. Shit interface and controls. Literally one of the worst UX experiences of all time.
It's a good game though

You can easily make an invincible perma-sustaining fort after learning the basics of the game. It's not a challenging game at all, just has a large breadth of systems to manage, which are all in themselves surprisingly shallow. For instance, there is a great many different food items, but they all have the exact same nutritional value and the only thing that might make one better over another is that a dwarf might have a preference for one and gain a happy thought if he consumes it. Outside of that, there is no problem on having your dwarves subsist 100% off of roasted plump helmets and plump helmet wine. It's really more of a dwarf civilization sim than it being about fortresses and staving off societal collapse.

Fuck
At least my way doesn't have sound-disturbed sleep
