There is such a wide diversity of video games out there. Calming exploratory games, puzzle games, combat, story, single or multiplayer, etc. Once I get in touch with the need that is alive in me it’s fun to look for a game or game genre that might tend specifically to that.

For me this game is calming. Just go harvest resources and float through space. I like to name things to as a way to feel like I'm making a difference or matter because there is a tiny chance someone someday will land on the planet and see all the names.
