I so want to get into it, but it's just so overwhelming for a new player. Or maybe I'm just dumb and it's just me.

Its really not. Ignore the in-game tutorial, ignore all strategy guides and manuals that people post online. Just start you up a game, turn the speed of time all the way up and unpause it. Just react to all the pop-up things that pop up for a while. That will be enough to entertain you for a while. Eventually, this will start to bore you, and youll want to start tinkering with more in-depth stuff. By this point, youll be familiar enough with the basics that stuff you thought was super complex is actually more intuitive than you thought. Every now and then, you run across a real head-scratcher. When that happens, theres no shame in just googling whatever is on your mind.

The game does a great job of letting you dip yourself in as deep as you want at your own pace, but still very playable if you have no clue what youre doing. Remember, there really is no objective goal that is set in stone, so you cant actually fuck things up too bad, unless youre just deliberately being a dumbass (which is also fun to do).
