I'm about to be 40 and I'm a married, hetro-cis woman; I still do this. Though lately I've been leaning more heavily toward city builders

If you like both genres (and rogue likes) I would recommend Against The Storm. The game is crack. It’s all about getting settlements to the point where they’re successful enough and then you start a new one as you build a caravan of settlements further from the safe haven city in the middle of the map. Then a storm comes through and wipes everything out, but you can extend and extend the length it takes a storm to strike by sealing the gateways that the storm monsters used to enter the world the game takes place in. I don’t know if I’ve sold you on it but I am addicted myself lol

I opened this thread to suggest this one as well. It's a nice come home from work and burn off steam for an hour game.

I played like 2 levels and it was sooo boring.

It’s more of a puzzle game under the stylization of a city builder. Very little difficulty and no real opportunity for creative city building on small maps you dont spend long on before moving to the next.

There’s far better roguelites and city builders out there.

I’d suggest checking out the demo for Metropolis 1998, it’s kinda Sims 1 style building with Sim City 2000 graphics, but you’re building a whole town/city.

Oh god, it doesn’t stay easy for long. You aren’t able to control the difficulty settings once you get further from The Smoldering City. I really enjoy it. It’s fun seeing a tiny settlement grow and evolve based off how the dice roll

I was excited for it but ended up refunding it as well but a lot of people seem to really enjoy it so they'll be alright
