Idle games never really click with me because leaving them running can subtly ramp-up my stress levels, and while Rusty’s Retirement does that too, it’s also just so damn delightful that I didn’t mind the little micro dose of anxiety. The absence of handholding is nice, but don’t be like me who wanted more guidance but forgot to check the in-game manual. My favorite part was after I unlocked all the homes and maxed out my tile usage, I handed the reigns to my eight-year-old who lit up like a light show. Great game for all ages!
