I recently played through universal Paperclips. It was okay, looking for more to try.
Trimps. I’m hopelessly addicted.
I recently beat Antimatter Dimensions after coming back to the Reality update after a long while. There’s a lot of depth, especially in the new additions. I appreciate all the layers and addition of QoL upgrades.
Bitburner was fun as an incremental hacking sim. I haven’t played it for a while, but I find it really unique.
There’s also Orb of Creation which can be a bit grindy but also seems really fun for what it offers. I’ve been playing the demo version at https://marple.itch.io/orb-of-creation
Just want to report that I’ve been hopelessly obsessed with BitBurner since I saw you recommend it over a month ago. Thanks!
It’s not a type of game I often play, but I enjoyed Kittens game a lot. And space plan, while not super long, was also really enjoyable
Eh, if one of the better incrementals is only ok to you, I’m not sure if you want to try more of the genre.
if you are on android, the tower is pretty good. it has years of stuff to do, and it’s still getting more added to it.
Stone story has been great fun.
So many good games already mentioned! I would add Arcanum: Theory of Magic and Progress Knight (any variation beside the OG, like: 2.0, Reborn, Quest)
ISEPS and CIFI, both by Octocube Games, have kept me hooked for several years now, albeit they tend to land more on the idle side of things, at least the way I play them.
Dodecadragons is more active most of the time, and IMO is absolutely fantastic. It recently reached completion, but I just found out while writing this that apparently some people bullied the dev so hard they pulled the game down earlier this week. Still, they have some other games at https://demonin.com/ so show them some support. Try Array Game!
I also played Tap Wizard RPG on mobile for a pretty long time. It’s good stuff.

Huh. Today I learned. :D
Prosperous Universe is quite different from a typical incremental game, but it scratches the same itch for me. The game is very complex, and other players drive the economy, leading to some price/availability unpredictability that is interesting. Gotta keep your bases fueled, but you also want to wait for prices to rise or fall, and potentially use your ships to trade at other markets.
It’s quite nonlinear in progression and there’s a lot of ways to expand.
NGU Idle is the greatest idle game to ever exist. It simply cannot be beaten. It’s free on Steam.
I recently restarted cookie clicker. Big mistake
Anti-Idle: The Game is one of my all-time favourites. It’s got a ton of sub-games and some really interesting resource flows between them. And as per the title you can idle or not, but there are rewards for active play.
I was on The Perfect Tower 2 for a while until my 8th ascension introduced a different grind and I lost interest.
I’ve been on Farmers Against Poatatoes Idle and its mindless enough that I can more or less passively play with just one daily check in.
Is there one that is server Based where it is not possible to manipulate your save state?
