Cookie Clickers 2 vs Merchant
Cookie Clickers 2
Cookie Clickers 2 is the highly awaited sequel to the breakout idle clicking game, Cookie Clicker. With even more cookies to bake, you'll need to set up your cookie-making empire once again with an army of super-nice grandmas who will work for next to nothing, auto-clicking cursors, cookie farms, and other fun upgrades. This time around though the cookies are more cartoonish looking - to fit the whimsical tone of the game - and that there are plenty more exciting new features such as the wheel of fortune, access to cookieland and the cookie shop, and a whole lot more.If you enjoyed playing Cookie Clicker or any idle clicking/tapping games in general, you'll really like this game. The progression in this game is satisfying enough to keep you engaged and the humor in it give the game a nice lighthearted feel.
Merchant
Merchant is a fun little idle game that's designed to be played on the side, while you're doing something else on the computer. In the game, you'll need to hire heroes who you will then send out on adventures to gather crafting materials. The materials obtained can then be turned into numerous types of armor and weapons, which you can in turn equip on your heroes or sell them off for a tidy profit. There are two main ways for you to sell your goods - you can either put it up for sale in your shop or you can fulfill the orders of passing merchants and heroes.Although the game starts out as pretty fun, the progression in this game gradually becomes rather grindy after a while - imagine: sending the same hero on the same quest will require the same amount of clicks as sending the hero on a new quest or even sending a new hero. Some automation would be great here, especially considering that the game's an idle game.
So, despite the fun concept and gameplay, its progression can truly kill your interest in the game. That being said, if you just want a simple game to play as you watch Netflix or YouTube on your computer, Merchant might just be the kind of game for you!
