I’m not sure if this counts as a “patient gamer” because I played them to death years ago…but I’ve been playing both again recently and they’re just perfect little games with a ton of replayability. They’re not retro (FTL 2012, ITB 2018) but they’re old enough to regularly go on sale which is great!

Highly recommended if you like roguelite strategy games.

If you have any similar games to suggest, please leave a comment. I’m sure there’s tons of great strategy games I’ve missed over the years

    I must have poured hundreds of hours into both of them, amazing games!

      I’ve got about the same. A few weeks ago I was house-sitting with nothing to do so I played FTL pretty much the entire time I wasn’t working or sleeping lol

      I’ve only found two games that scratched the itch since - Frostpunk (2018) and Against The Storm (2023?) but neither are turn-based. Hopefully someone can suggest some others!

        Ooh I’ve got Frostpunk but haven’t played it yet, good to know it might be similar!
