Why do half of the reviews call this game autistic?

[Opie_Azvuc]

Is this some kind of new Gen Alpha meme I'm not aware of?

And...?

I only read / watch the reviews of Ytubers im familiar with and trust....lots of people watch total clowns like nookrium etc etc though.

Cause it got most of it's original fans on a website that is mostly made of weaboos and neuro-divergent people. That and it's the type of game with so many small moving parts that it requires a certain type of hyper fixation to enjoy, sort of like trains

[Johnny Boy]

bro just look at it, it's like a more casual dwarf fortress. Autism inclined persons drift to this kind of game

[Haperski]

Damn, maybe I am autistic.

so the more in depth something becomes the more autistic it becomes? damn maybe autism is an upgrade after all.

Because "autistic" has become the new "OCD" as per the euphemism treadmill.

It's kind of subpar to be honest, you spend a crazy amount of time trying to collect coins for your town upgrade doing repetitive rubbish until you inevitably come across some busted mechanic that smites your character dead and you have to start over.

You're doing it wrong if you're trying to dump money into the town to upgrade it lol. The whole point of the settlement is to generate money. After the first initial 10,000 the focus should be on building up your town so that it can generating enough resources to trade with.

It's also a slow process you're meant to play the game over decades and centuries. Death is just part of the gameplay loop. Next time you die fast forward 50 years and you'll be shocked to see your town has hundreds of thousands in gold.. provided you picked a spot with descent resources.

Because these types pf games tend to be very popular with people who have adhd, ocd, autism, etc. It's not a secret and you can tell at a glance.

I also heard people referring to them as "stupid adderall games" which is both hilarious and wildly accurate

Most tech geniuses are on the spectrum, as are a lot of scientists

It can be a borderline superpower if it hits you just right and you learn to funnel it into something productive early on

Would you please elaborate ?

Basically the less casual the game ceiling, the more autistic.

CoD, basic shallow FPS. 0/10 tisms.

Minecraft, omnidirectional freedom, risk management, aesthetic perfection manager. 7/10 tisms.

Dwarf Fortress (New GUI) 8/10 tisms. 9/10 with old ascii.

See also D&D 5e = 4/10 tisms, Pathfinder 1e 9/10 tisms.

Putting aside that even the basic logic of this comment not making any sense. When I was a kid I went to a school for kids with all kinds of learning disabilities and the top games all anyone could talk about was Minecraft... and Call of Duty...
