When was a game's price worth it to you? (lemm.ee)

Say a simple (hours enjoyed playing)/(price of game) equation. How many hours (you enjoyed) per $ do you think is reasonable/expected? Or is there other criteria for you?

I feel like I'm on the upper end here. But to be fair I also tend to play things that has a lot of replayability. So I usually reach 100+ hours on my favorites eventually.

Eager to hear how others reason about it.

Edit: Added the enjoyed part. I agree with the comments that frustrating hours shouldn't be included in the measure :)

Project Zomboid

I like the theme, like the ambiance, like the open world, and absolutely hate the combat in that game. Have you ever played Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead? Same sort of setting and game, but turn-based, and significantly more-complex, and particularly since I see Rimworld on your list, I'm wondering if you might like it.

I've seen it mentioned, but havent tried it.

It's free and open-source (though one of the devs put a build up for $20 on Steam, which basically amounts to a donation). I'd definitely recommend it to someone who enjoys Project Zomboid and Rimworld.

Oh, I had no idea it was open source. I'll take a look, at the very least. Thanks for the rec!
