The WhatsNext verdict
For Players who enjoy hands-on mining, tinkering with machinery, and building a business at their own pace: Dig for resources, process them through increasingly elaborate setups, and reinvest the profits in a larger mining operation. Tradeoff: The appeal is in repetitive, self-directed work and gradual upgrades, with little authored narrative or combat to drive progress.
