Tried Dune Spice Wars.

Didn't like it.

Yeah, nor did I, but frankly I bounced of it so quickly I don't see my opinion as valid. In my case, I just couldn't figure out how the game works, and had too many other things to play to boot it again.

I tried Children's Capitalism Simulator.

 

You wake up in a magical land, covered in darkness (the land, and I guess you because you are in the land). You then start helping people and saving the place with the power of friendship.

One of the first people you save is the richest person in the world. From then on, whenever you try to save someone else, you end up needing to do menial work for the rich person, seeing how they have a monopoly on pretty much everything. The game is a continuous series of exploitation by the 1% hoping that through it you will be able to help the rest.

Add the in app purchases and it is pure capitalism in every sense.

So... you played Roblox?

Disney Dreamlight Valley

Finished Rise of the Golden Idol.

Was pretty good. The connections between the cases to the overall story was as not as obvious as in the previous one, took me until the final cases to realize how it all worked out. Not sure if the changes in the UI were ultimately better or worse, but it didn't matter that much.

Looks like there'll be at least 4 DLCs coming in 2025.  Will buy them.
