For me it was Terraria, Satisfactory, Tetris Effect Master Mode, Minecraft with Mekanism mod & CSGO / CS2 (almost 2000 hours in CS alone).

No doubt, it’s a fun game, but not $30 fun.
Then again, my idea of game prices is a bit skewed. I don’t think ANY game is worth $60. I buy all my games on sale, and for most of them, I wait until they’re $20 or less before I buy.
At a full price of $30, I’d expect to eventually find it on sale for $5-10 if I waited long enough. But the developers don’t plan to ever lower the price, which is a big negative for me. If I didn’t get a copy for free, I’d probably still not own it.
As far as gameplay itself, I’m annoyed at the random swarms of bugs attacking my factories. I just want to build and create, but having to also defend from attack and then repair my stuff afterward… that makes Factorio frustrating for me. But that’s my own personal opinion, I know that’s what makes the game fun for so many others.
That’s why I like Satisfactory so much. The wildlife is only aggressive if you bother them, and there aren’t packs of them roaming around. You can relax and enjoy the atmosphere and get lost in your build process without being bothered.
You can play without biters. Just pick the option before you start the map. Or pick friendly mode to have them there but they never bother you until you attack them is also an option. A lot of settings before you start a new game, check them out :)
