Factorio

It's a neverending cycle of gathering resources, producing items from those resources, automating the gathering or more resources, and automating even further item production to gather and automate even more, while dealing with crises like electricity consumption and enemy attacks. In a way, it's really relaxing, and in a way, it's also bizarrely stressful.

Scratches the automation itch like nothing I've ever played before. Lives up to the hype of a game that seems to have started it's own genre. Dozens of mods and ways to play, the only downside is that it will absolutely crush any amount of free time you thought you had

One of the best video games ever made. Iconic and genre defining, genius.

This game simulates your existential crisis.
