In 2 hours and 27 minutes from now, I'll get my 1129th sugar lump, then in about 10 seconds after that, I'll use it to upgrade my mines to level 10, giving me the last achievement for me to unlock. Then I will have gotten 100% completion of one of the best games I have played. Cookie Clicker is an absolute masterpiece, the (unexpectedly deep) game play, the planning, the strategy, the way everything builds on each other. And there's still more to come, dungeons feels scarily close after the years of waiting. In the 434 days it's taken me to hit 100%, I've read through each and every line of flavour text in the game, which I feel is an underappreciated part, so if you're going for 100%, you've got plenty of time, give the flavour text a read. "Everyone's here. Won't you have some cookies too?"

At first glance, Cookie Clicker seems like the kind of idle browser game you open during a slow moment at work or while procrastinating on homework. You click a cookie, get a cookie. Click more, get more. It’s easy to laugh it off as a mindless time-waster, and yet, within an hour, you’ve purchased a grandma, a farm, a factory, and suddenly you’re generating thousands, then millions, then billions of cookies per second. But Cookie Clicker is far more than an absurd exercise in exponential growth. It’s an addictive, clever, and oddly profound experience that offers players both delight and reflection. The core gameplay loop is deceptively simple: click to earn cookies, spend cookies to buy upgrades that earn you more cookies passively. But what makes Cookie Clicker so incredibly fun is how quickly and cleverly the game evolves. Every upgrade introduces a layer of strategy, do you invest in more cursors or save up for the time-warping wizard tower? Should you ascend now and earn heavenly chips, or wait just a bit longer? The game constantly dangles new goals in front of you, and reaching them feels like its own kind of reward. Then there's the humor. Cookie Clicker doesn't take itself too seriously, the flavor text is packed with dry wit and self-aware jokes. You might unlock achievements like "Just Wrong" for baking cookies with the help of grandmas who've gone cosmic. And yet, underneath all this silliness is something more intriguing. Play long enough, and Cookie Clicker starts to feel like a commentary on capitalism, greed, and even the pursuit of meaning. You’ll find yourself optimizing every second of production, calculating efficiencies, and pushing for the next upgrade, and then wonder why. For what? More cookies? The game subtly pushes you to confront your own impulses: the drive to accumulate, to optimize, to never stop. And that’s the real magic of Cookie Clicker. It’s not just fun — though it absolutely is! It’s addictive in the best way, funny, strangely moving, and surprisingly philosophical. It’s a mirror, wrapped in chocolate chips and baked at 350 degrees, showing you just how far you’ll go for cookies… and what that says about you.

After 1077 hours I have finally obtained every achievement and I am free. Good game. Highly recommended. Unless you have an addictive personality and tend to get absorbed into games and ignore your life, in which case this game is a very bad idea.
