What's your favorite game for watching the numbers go up?

[Zed Clampet]

A lot of people like idle games for this reason, numbers going up and up. I like it in other games, too. For instance, in Monster Train 2, a lot of the units have stats that can scale during battle. Sometimes they'll be persistent from one battle to the next. I find these incredibly fun. For instance, i just played the mushroom guys, and my champion started the game at 15 attack damage and ended it at around 600 damage.

Once everything is going strong in X4: Foundations, you can just sit back and watch your bank account go up and up. There's even an office in the HQ to do it in, surrounded by trophies for big quests you finished. I can't say I've ever done it for more than about 15 minutes, though, before I see some wonderful opportunity to make the numbers go up even faster that I can't pass up.

AFK skilling in Runescape 3. Especially at events like Christmas or Double XP. I like fishing the most, because you just throw the line in a school of fish and then you get xp, fish and maybe a lucky drop. Super chill and you'll always see that xp bar go up, even if it goes very, very slow when you have millions of xp left, lol.

ARPGs are pretty good for watching numbers go up too.

@Colif 's thread about Slormancer is a good example.
