EURO TRUCK SIMULATOR 2

Reversing a trailer into a bay is the skill ceiling and the fatigue timer is the only pressure. Damage costs money rather than progress.

You will lose sometimes. You will not mind.

AGE OF EMPIRES II: DEFINITIVE EDITION

Build orders are the curve, and the campaigns teach almost none of what the game actually asks for. The hard AI does not forget its economy while it fights.

Sustained pressure. Progress is earned.
