I've watched a couple of different of YouTubers' series playing the game. I'm sure you'll figure things out; my impression is that it's a pretty well designed game, with no one "right" way that things have to be done, and that it does a pretty well of showing off it's mechanics.
From what I've seen, it's really really forgiving. It's much closer to the "cozy" genre than it is to any serious sim game. Any min/maxing would just serve to make thing happen slightly faster, there's no chance of failure, and absolutely no need of spreadsheets. I don't think Slime Rancher has fail states, and it looks easier to build a functional farm than it is to complete the most basic of scenarios in something like Roller Coaster Tycoon (which is fairly easy as sim games go).

Yes, sure, and the same is true in French. And Dutch! For real people, I couldn't care less.... he said, with a massive blind spot for the millions of english-language women with patronymic surnames that end in -son
"Hi, I'm Jane Johnson." "Nice to meet you Jane, I'm Jill Ericsson!"
Well, I can't speak for Slime Ranger/Lebeau, but Lestrange was the name of that entire wizarding family (which Bellatrix married into, adopting the surname. Her maiden name was Black).

Because in English surnames don't have gender.
No, I understand you, but what I'm saying is that to an english speaker that doesn't speak French, there is no gender difference between Lebeau and Labelle. They're just surnames. An english speaker wouldn't say "Hey, since I have full control over my fictional story I could have the gender of the name match the gender of the character" because, again, there is no gender to them. Words having gender is not a concept that exists in English outside of specifics like actor and actress (and even then, in modern english actress becomes more and more rare)
Fortnite was my official entry into "I'm getting to old for this shit". I want Unreal Tournament, where you shoot other people. Now you want me to build things too? Get out of here with that, you whippersnappers.
See, PvP is SO NOT my thing. I suck. I'm absolutely terrible. It's embarrassing. I'm not good a twitchy stuff, and I tend to get motion sick on top of it.
It certainly helps that most of the characters have a relateable age between the late 30s and early 50s. It's a fantastic game and a great entry point since no further knowledge of the previous Yakuza games is necessary.
Control is a great fucking game with bad pacing. The start is boring, then it gets real hard real fast, and then it gets real good
Yep it kicks ass. I finished the 3-chapter intro campaign and I was thoroughly engrossed. I played on the 2nd highest difficultly level (Undying Hero) and it kicked my ass, but I had a good time doing it. I customized all my characters and recruits and ended up with an enjoyable story full of relationships, interesting choices and surprisingly satisfying combat for something that looks like a pop-up book. In addition to the turn-based combat, there's an overworld map where you scout, patrol, craft new items, build defenses and defend against enemy incursions. The game gets harder as you go along as enemies start getting more abilities/stats/armor as the game goes on. You also get legacy points which you can use to make up for insufficient components for crafting, recruit another hero, or to cancel out some of the enemies new buffs. I also made some questionable choices for some of my characters that resulted in quite some interesting outcomes. Also your characters age over time, which is reflected in the story panels, along with all the new gear you acquire. There's also a relationship system that gives buffs/bonuses depending on the type of relationship and its strength. I'm already eager to start another campaign.
Maybe if you gift them to me they'll be removed from your list. We could try that, for scienceThis was e best looking game in my queue. I think I need it
I will not be buying any of the boob games Steam keeps offering me. Hear that Steam!!?!
You can filter out games from your queue somewhere in the settings btw.
I have tried. Clearly unsuccessfully.
I loved that game so much, but the jukebox thing was preposterous. "I can repeatedly die in a frustrated fit over and over to earn an outfit that I would only use to play the jukebox levels, as I already did all the other DLC? Yeah, no."
I thought during my first expedition that the islands would be randomized and have different challenges on them each run. LOL. NOPE.
