I've been revisiting anno 2205, infamously the ugly duckling of the Anno series of RTS games. I don't mind so much the fact that it's different, lacks customisation and random map generation - I'm bothered because the game is so slow to progress through on challenge settings, and it feels like a game designed just to artificially waste your time; in other anno games, you can always pull tricks to dig yourself out of economic crisis - selling off assets and surplus goods, completing quests for other parties, or taking loans. 2205 is very very confined in terms of what you can do to financially recover in the early game and forces you into a lot of military events.

Wow one of the only people ever that has also played Recettear, I really liked my time with it but didn't finish.

I also didn't like hollow Knight that much and wound up leaving it at like seventy percent complete but I did beat Ori which I liked more.

Have you checked out Moonlighter? I think anyone who enjoyed Recettear should check out Moonlighter; it's a bit more focus and more Zelda-like, a bit less cozy.
