> Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead... The visuals may be incredibly simple, but the gameplay is deep and open-ended

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead also has a tiles mode that is actually pretty great. The community has done some amazing work: https://cataclysmdda.org/

CDDA is one of my faves, great community too.

Last time I played (few years ago) there seemed to be some controversy about the direction the project lead was taking the game. Something about realism over fun. Did that ever get resolved in some fashion?

Been a while for me unfortunately, that dichotomy is not particularly new to games of this genre and I think the lead's done a reasonable job at balancing it; there's always mods that push it further in either direction.
