Kinda vague title, but I was trying out some of the Atelier games recently and while I do find the crafting interesting, I can't stand the "slice of life"/CGDCT style they have. Yumia seems to be a bit more interesting but the gameplay is too simple and balancing seems to not take into account the crafting system, which makes it really unsatisfying to play.

Are there any alternatives? SMT/Persona too I feel has similar systems with fusions, but I think I've already played enough of the ones I'm interested in. They also lack the crafting of items, which is the main thing I find interesting in the older Atelier.

Arknights: Endfield is kinda rooted in a factory/crafting thing. It's like Genshin Impact had a baby with Satisfactory. It takes a while before the factory and crafting aftually become useful and the focus of the game tho; it's free to play gatcha shit so it has HORRIBLE pacing.

Someone also mentioned Fallout 4 already, which is also a good choice IMO if you wanna craft and build, while not being the entire game (ie something like Factorio or Satisfactory where the building is 100% of the game). The crafting and building isn't too deep, but it is satisfying.

I was actually playing Endfield regularly from release up to around Tangtang's banner. The factory building was decent but a bit too simplistic, and I was a bit annoyed at how little it ends up interacting with combat (the items have really boring effects). The story was also pretty bad, and I can't stand the ways these games try to get you to log in every day, so at some point I stopped playing. (I also find the progression systems in gachas to be really dull and unsatisfying).

I might check out FO4 sometimes, although I tend to dislike Bethesda games.
