SLIME RANCHER

Largos and tarrs will wreck a careless corral overnight, which is as close as this gets to a fail state.

Relaxed. Failure is rare and cheap.

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.
