I play mainly Antimatter Dimensions and NGU Idle, but I was wondering if anyone else here is a fan of games that require a significant amount of patience.

Not really, something about most of the genre doesn't quite appeal to me.

However, I once heard that Universal Paperclips not just had an actual ending, but also an overall point to it, and I decided to give it a go. It was worth it.

Same, which is weird because I generally like games where you have to wait around a lot.

Cookie clicker anyone? I play it on both android and PC. Wish Android had more features!

My game is over 10 years running. I don't even click.

I played Egg Inc. for years. It was a nice little game. But sadly a point where progress would take at least half a year. At that point I decided: It was fun, but it is time to move on. Currently I don't play any IDLE game.

Oh I played egg inc for years until yeah, progress slowed to a crawl and it became extremely pay-to-win.

I still have antimatter dimensions on my old phone. Wonder how many time shards or whatever I have after 9 months or whatever it's been now.

I got hooked on Legends of Idleon. Love that it's just one developer.

I put a lot of time in Leaf Blower Revolution, I find it way more compelling than any other I tried :).

Antimatter Dimensions I quite liked for a bit, NGU Idle really didn't work for me.

Gridle is pretty cool and short (less than an hour to complete)!

I usually have one on the go…

A Dark Room has an ending which does not require months of playing. Recommended.

Realm Grinder, until I lost my login details.

It's on Steam, so I might well go back to it.

I like the way the focus of the game changes as the numbers go up.

I still have Antimatter dimensions on my phone and open it every now and then. It's been way more enjoyable than I ever expected it to be!
Before that I played My Museum for a while, it was kinda nice. I'd be curious to hear about everyone's suggestions in this thread

A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
