What game mechanics do you enjoy or that surprised you when playing a game? I recently started playing Tunic and I love building out the “manual” for the game and getting hints on how to play.

    Same. I really liked the early alphas of 7 days to die but then they went and tried to make it much harder and it just stopped being fun. I haven’t played it recently so maybe they’ve backed off but early on I put in so many hours. Building was great and the zombies did just the right amount of damage to buildings.

      Same. I suspect what happened is that they did the mistake of catering to their hardest core of players. People who make impenetrable minmaxed defenses that exploit every mechanic in the game engine, suddenly find that the game is “too easy”, so they adjust the game to make it challenging for them.

      Thus leaving the rest of us with a game where dogs chew through concrete.
