I keep hearing about NGU.

I downloaded it and every time I open it I end up feeling overwhelmed and closing out.

I've played more complex things before. I have no idea why I have this reaction. Perhaps I just always happen to open it when I feel tired or burnt out?

NGU is one of those things I've been dipping my toe into since it started. I've had one save since then and I've only just made it to eveil difficulty. It's not just you.

The problem, for me, is that the game's actually quite dull.

I really liked the beginning and actually started feeling like it was clash of clans or something, I think because somehow the activities and maintenance and directions were working for me. I personally suspect it loses this once it shows its hand with the titans.. it might have been different if it did not overheat my laptop, in general it is a beautiful game in my head - the parts are dull but they are there and it weaves them together in some nice mysterious way. I am somewhat blind though.

Yea I've bordered on similar feelings, I'd say its important to know what activities you are familiar with and see if you can do them with the game. Incremental games can be interesting in that you keep considering concessions on what you are prepared to do, in NGU you may enjoy playing actively and babysitting your gear or you might set into a schedule of hour prestiges, or else end up with something else you like or may like to use. I found ngu pretty readable however I like colours and first played with built up patience during recovery from travel. in general people say to just practice, or ask for information, it depends what you use, i tend to think people have a central practice that they are smart using so relating it to that or to other core memories...
