For me it was minesweeper clones. I got frustrated one day and decided to learn how to be good at minesweeper. After beating the medium and large boards a couple times I looked on Steam for minesweeper versions, and turns out there’s a whole genre of clones. Some of them are direct clones of the game, while others are very heavily inspired by minesweeper. The two best I played were Hexcells and Tametsi. Hexcells is stylish and is only hexagons (as opposed to the minesweeper squares), while Tametsi has squares, rectangles, and hexagons and is a lot more barebones. However I found Tametsi to be much harder. There were some levels on there that took me an entire day, and I think there’s like 500 levels. 150 levels

I’ve been almost exclusively playing immersive sims and metroidvanias, from all of Arkane’s titles and the System Shocks to Haiku the robot and Lone Fungus. In both these genres there’s a very satisfying loop of exploring everything, collecting items/looting, having some sort of abilities and in the case of imm sims, extensive lore through notes and audio logs. Feels like I can’t play most other genres anymore.

Been very addictive to traditional roguelikes for some time now. Enjoy the learning and mastering experience.
