Dwarf Fortress is a construction and management simulation and roguelike indie video game created by Bay 12 Games. Available as freeware and in development since 2002, its first alpha version was released in 2006 and received attention for being a two-member project surviving solely on donations.

Runs well on modern hardware.

There is nothing else like it. This game is beautiful and it belongs in a museum.
I wanted to give this game a try after playing Rimworld and I just can't figure out to do stuff here. The new player experience is horrible. I guess the game has a loyal fanbase, but as a new player it is not for me.
This is a dwarf game. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encrusted with alcoholic dwarves, vomiting cats, and forgotten beast invasions. This object menaces with deep simulation, dwarven science and !!FUN!!.
