I tried the first one, but as I love to min-max in games this was super stressful for me to play the "optimal" way, then I looked up the decisions and then after some hours I thought, if I look up the whole game in some guides, I am probably not the target audience. Now I have way more fun with factorio.

omg I'm kinda the same. I always need to know the consequences of every decision to try to get the best possible outcome. And then I get frustrated or annoyed with a game.

With LiS1, it came out as episodes so it wasnt possible to know the consequences of every decision beforehand and I was forced to make decisions based on limited information. This ended up leading to some happy surprises I probably wouldn't have experienced otherwise.

I've found that I tend to enjoy things a lot better if I just play it through blind at least one time. Trying to min-max everything has been a tough habit to break though.
