Egg Inc. was alright but mostly yes.
Wait what? I understand the addictiveness and I spent probably a year of my life making eggs, but egg inc is just an above average idle game. It's problematic by it's very definition.
Right but the quality of the game is actually great in comparison to most of the advert-spamming half-baked garbage out there.
The game concept is middling though, I agree.
Yeah I agree it's better than most idlers out there it's true. Having said that, herpes is better than most STIs out there too, I definitely wasted a fair bit of time on idlers but every one eventually feels like a chore where you only keep playing because of the sunk cost fallacy.
Just my opinion obviously, and wtf do I know to be fair, we all enjoy different things at the end of the day I just wouldn't ever recommend a idler personally.
