Agreed - an extreme example being Dwarf Fortress. :)

And popular games like Factorio or Satisfactory are far from simple. Also, in many survival games you can loose results of many hours of gameplay in an instant.

Minecraft is another example. Until a recent version there wasn't even a build-in recipe book, you had to either discover them by yourself or search about them online.

That was back when the number of recipes was less than half of what exists today.
