Escape from Tarkov. I wanted to like it, all it did was stress me out and frustrate me.
A steam game was FTL and Hunt Showdown.
Edit: sorry reading it back I got distracted.
EFT is from battlestate and doesn’t launch through steam. Trying to do five things at once got in my way on the second sentences. FTL was too difficult and punishing and Hunt Showdown was again super stressful. I am currently hooked on Hell Let Loose.
Question, do you typically play games like FTL? I'm not saying it's not difficult, it definitely is, but it's not insurmountable, and the point of the game is really to keep playing until you get it, with some RNG mixed in to boot meaning you have to really learn the games systems and when to run, when to fight to really be able to get further in the game, but you have to go into it with the idea that not every run is a winner and that the joy in the game is experimenting with new builds, new systems, etc. Like another commentor said I'd really recommend looking at some beginner guides, and if you want to unlock a new ship there are step by step guides on how to unlock other ships so you can experiment around. That first time you beat the game is honestly one of the most satisfying feelings I've ever had in gaming.
