April 2025

After getting wayyy too deep into coockie clicker (500+ hours, I know some people are beyond saving and have something like 10 000 but thats just seomthing else.) I already suspected I had a problem. Well now this youtuber who has to be evil to the core got me to try Melvor Idle. I did not think a game with even less gameplay then coockie clicker could be this scarily efficient at producing dopamin hits. I began overwhelmed by all the systems of the game, progressed to being "okay but what do I do and for what", to "If I run 5 min of woodcutting, then produce ent summons, then use those to catch jewels while fishing, then use the fish to cook food, withouth forgetting to first craft pig summons from previously coocked fish that are not that good of a food source, I will have leveled summoning, fishing, woodcutting, and summoning, AND made a good of money while doing so." - And this is just after aquiring the most basic understading of the game. So far I didnt even begin to understand runes and spells and combat as a whole, which seems to be the focus point of the game. The Progression seems a bit shallow at first when you compare it to a clicker game like coockie clicker where you constantly use the one resource you farm to upgrade your capacity to do so. But after 73 hours I have realised the progression is _much_ more satisfying than in coockie clicker. (in my opinion of course), the upgrades all feel much more meaningful for the tradeoff of getting them less frequently. In summary: I have a much bigger problem than I originally thought.

I am not at all hesitant to add Melvor Idle to my all-time idler best list. Seems that this title has been honed by the devs to near perfection with respect to performance related issues... I have yet to experience a single performance hit in my better than 4000+ hour investment into this title. Thus, as it is all that one might reasonably hope for in a game in the idler genre (in conjunction to the aforementioned) it has earned a resounding endorsement from me. Maxwell just unlocked today. Thus I have finally acquired the last of the Stronghold pets. Playing Melvor Idle is an undeniable time sink. It is also the most RNG and gear-dependent e-game that I have ever played. And it is also easily the most frustrating to play as well. But, as a counterpoint to the hereinabove... it has also proven to be the most rewarding experience out of the many that I have come to know in video gaming

I've played incremental games for years, and several Idle games as well and this is the best I've found. Tons of content, lots of ways to progress and so many rare and unique items. My only complaint is I wish some of the township gear didn't count towards item total. Bag space is an "always" kind of problem.

Somehow this spreadsheet simulator game has become part of my daily routine. It's open and running in the background whenever my PC is on. I had a surprising amount of fun grinding to 100% completion. It's basically command-line OSRS. Instead of clicking on an over-world, you're clicking on a fancy spread sheet. 10/10 would recommend.

"I wasn’t sure at first about this kind of game; idle game. I was intrigued. I gave it a try because it feels like filling something gratifying inside of me. I didn’t want any action game and visual effects. I wanted a slow pace game that involves caring management with concrete results. But it requires enormous patience. After thousand hours of gameplay, I wasn’t wrong to enter this realm. I got even addicted to it. I like to explore and manage my loot and equipment. I setup my character for a task and adjust it all for a next task. And so on to progress in the game. Once set, I let the idle do its thing. I can do other things in my real life while my gaming character progresses. I come back later and take the next step from what I achieved prior. Often done within the valuable “offline progress” option (within 24 hours maximum). Your character grows in a storyline that you develop as time ticks by and several paths opens to you. The game was deeper than I realized at first. There is so much items, skills, mastery, pets and equipments to get. You can combine and upgrade some stuff together. And this always bring you to another step that you didn’t thought. The Steam achievements are a nice challenge in my opinion (I’m not sure to get the Hardcore ones though). The base game is really fine, but I enjoyed the whole deal more with the 2 DLCs (Throne of Herald and Atlas of Discovery). I don’t have The Abyss DLC and I’m not planning to (I don’t feel like going deeper in the combat aspect of the game). I tried the Hardcore mode, but this is another level (only for the pros). I also like the simple visuals and the interface. There is so much incremental statistics to watch and manage. Melvor Idle is like a pet that you love and care everyday. Each mornings, you give the affection and resources it needs and it runs freely all day long. My pet learns new things and spend times practicing it to become better and experienced. Well, Melvor Idle is an extraordinary experience for me. I recommend Melvor Idle, but I know that it doesn’t fit with every kind of player.”
