Impressive game if you have time to put into it. It is a little confusing at times, so if you don't like to look at guides online you might find this frustrating. In my opinion the real fun comes after learning the mechanics of the game. There is a YouTuber called "Blind" that makes short tutorials for literally everything you could possibly want to know. After you know everything that is possible and how to survive, you can start playing the real game. It is kind of hard to classify Dwarf Fortress as a game because there isn't an objective. Part of the fun is losing your fortress. For me, losing in this game is actually very enjoyable. The enjoyment comes from the story of ultimately, demise. The game creates a story for every fortress, and the player has a decent bit of influence over it. Some things just happen though, and that is what makes it fun. The unpredictability amazes me, it feels almost real in a sense. Kind of like evolution/life simulators like "The Life Engine". Life comes with boons and curses and Dwarf Fortress simulates this in a way that no other game has done.

There is a documentary on YouTube about it from a channel called "ThatGuyGlen" (the video is called "How Two People Created Gaming's Most Complex Simulation System") that goes into more of the history of the game if you're interested. In short, Dwarf Fortress was created by two guys, and the game itself has been in development for 20 years or so.

My only issue with the game, as I have kinda said before it that it takes time for it to be fun. Some funny/interesting things happen regardless, but the mechanics are hard since this game was coded eons ago. I've played 49 hours of Dwarf Fortress as of writing this review and I still have a lot of things I don't understand. That being said, I still find enjoyment with this caveat. There are infinitely generated stories that you can mold in Dwarf Fortress. Right now I have a mayor that got his position stolen from a lazy guy that is good with words. As soon as the new mayor was in office he demanded three earrings to be made. I have no idea why he wanted this, but next time I log into my fortress I'm gonna investigate. Last time I checked he wasn't wearing them, but I didn't check his spouse.

So far I haven't really recorded any interesting things happening other than that and this naked goblin priest that has been staying in my fortress for some time. I swear he doesn't sleep, all he does is go to the different temples I built and prays all day. I kinda find him suspicious. I'll see if I can update this review after I get some more funny and thought out stories at a later date.

I rate this game 4.8/5
