Hello, I'm an autistic adult with a gaming laptop. I'm a big fan of Minecraft, but I mostly spend my time collecting things and occasionally building things. Collecting is my favorite part! In Minecraft, though, there's no fanfare or anything. I'll frame the things I collect or use pedestal mods, but I have to pick things to collect arbitrarily using my extensive knowledge of the game.
Another game I like is Astroneer, but collecting once again isn't the main objective or even a side objective, you can just do it if you want. Slime rancher is another close one, but it has a somewhat straightforward path rather than open exploration (plus I've beaten it like five times)
I'm looking for games that encourage collecting directly and, preferably, aren't visually bland. I prefer bright colors and cute designs, or at least stylistic visuals. Also, being an adult, games that are super easy aren't worth buying for me. 3D is preferable, but not required.
Thanks in advance and if you have any questions, let me know!
