Maybe I should just buy Factorio? I'd like Arknights: Endfield a lot more if it would stop trying to be Genshin Impact and just let me build

I'm begging anime gacha games to try something new. The chokehold Genshin Impact has on the genre is so obvious that anytime a new one shows up at The Game Awards I force my friends to guess if Hoyoverse made it or not. I've played a lot of them and I can barely tell anymore.

There's nothing wrong with Genshin Impact, but I only need so many open world action RPGs where you meet anime characters you can collect like Pokémon, and most of the copycats don't have anything else going on.

Arknights...
