Rusty's Retirement

Ridiculously cute idle game. A bit micro-managey at the beginning, but prioritizing the buildings that help with automation (Echo for upgrading bots and Splunk for automatic seed planting) makes letting the farm idle much easier and spending time decorating or redecorating more enjoyable. I love watching my little robots working on their farm on my extra monitor while I'm working on my others (I have three screens and this is perfect!). :) I think the part I enjoyed most (aside from the achievements) is that it has replayability and multiple types of farms you can unlock, each with their own individual challenges. I also love the stickers in the points shop for this one! They are super cute and I'll be saving up to get all of them. <3 For more reviews and recommendations check out the [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45071674-Under-Starry-Skies/] Under Starry Skies [/url] curator page!

这个不行不能拿来写论文，可玩性有点高了，看着看着会玩起来。我是论文的狗😭

"A relaxing idle-farming simulator that sits at the bottom of your screen while you do other things" Can anyone actually focus on doing other things while this game takes up a third of the screen, makes noises, and things keep moving in it? Or am I just too easy to distract?

Dangerous ADHD trap game that's hard to leave alone.... Just kidding. But seriously, I often found myself just staring at this in the corner of my screen instead of letting it manage itself. Something kind of fun to play with on the side of your screen while doing something else. Not super intrusive. Can run along the bottom of your screen or along the side. It's kind of like a desktop widget but bigger. Anyways, this is perfect for someone who intentionally wants to get distracted doing their work or something. Took ~146 hours to 100%. (Left running unsupervised, not actively playing)

朋友送的礼物，种田挂机太上头了。解锁自动播种之后似乎成为董事长了，只要对农场进行宏观规划，浇水收菜这些小事交给npc完成就好。自己不用做什么就有收获感，这就是挂机的快乐吧～ 我们机器人就是最强的！（疑似鸡煲发言） 就是有点小肝，适合没事喜欢挂机的人。

I'm only 3 hours in, currently, but this is exactly what I wanted from something that you run while doing something else. Some of these types of games have just a little too much going on, where you find yourself spending more time than you really were supposed to on the game. For something that's meant to sort of idle as a "multi-tasking" sort of thing, that means you're not really multi-tasking. The games are fun, of course, but you're no longer doing what you intended, which was a balance of doing the thing you're struggling to do- the productivity- and the game, which is too fun to ignore. Rusty's Retirement kind of nailed that down. I WANT to focus on the game, but it takes time. It has to work through the things it's doing, so I have nothing to do but be productive while it does its thing. Eventually, I hit this really nice flow state where I can occasionally sit back, glance over, check on Rusty, and then return to my work. Even when I do eventually fiddle with Rusty, there's only so much I can do at any given time. Eventually, I need to wait for the game to proceed, and that's exactly what these sorts of games need to do. They need to make you [i]wait[/i], so you actually have to do the thing you're wanting to do, but struggling to focus on. Rusty's Retirement is really sweet, the music is perfect, and I'm excited to have so much more waiting for me, on top of the map I'm currently working on. There's so much ahead. This one's a fantastic mix of wanting to engage, but having to wait.

100% completion review: Good game overall but extremely long and repetitive to reach the 100% of achievements. Fun but very very grindy

It's so good that it can be distracting. Don't get me wrong, it has been a really good company while I am working. It hides behind other apps, or sits in front, has beautiful music, easy enough flow. It even has longevity through the different maps. But it's so good that it can distract you from the very work that it intends to help you focus. Get it, just be cautious and know yourself

Such a chill game to throw onto the other monitor while watching smth, playing a game, studying, etc. Atm I only have about 40 hrs so I'm not "done" with the game yet this game has a lot to offer. If you just want a chill idle farming game to put to the side while doing stuff I'd recommend. My only complaint is that sometimes it needs more attention then other idle games and it takes up a good bit of your screen that's why putting it on the other monitor helps. Other than that fantastic game 8.5/10
