I'm shelving this for now, but it couldn't be further from the truth to say I didn't like the time I spent with it so far. Dwarf Fortress seems like the time sink I needed a couple of years ago, but I just don't have the time currently. It's one of the coolest game concepts I've seen and I already spent a bunch of time in Rimworld, which is (i think safe to say) directly inspired by DF. If you like colony sims, city builders, strategy games of any kind.... you won't necessarily love DF, because it's so excessively complex you will have to study the game and spend hundres, if not thousands of hours in there to really have experienced it fully. I hope I will find the time to check it out more thoroughly, can't wait to do it actually. <3
This game is important, everybody knows that. Most tell themselves, however, that it's just not for them. If that was true for most, it wouldn't be important. And you know it is important, so what are you doing? This game isn't going anywhere. It's gonna be here like this every time you check, never waning. Might as well get your hands down in the mud, work your brain, accept your mortality and learn to play Dwarf Fortress.

Adding mouse support and actual graphics to Dwarf Fortress was always going to make the game a hit. I know this because RimWorld is and it's just Dwarf Fortress with mouse support and actual graphics.
Obviously, it's great to see the OG get that treatment and the decades of development DF has. It's an awesome game, if you love base-building and random story generated games, you need to play this. It really isn't that hard to get the hang of.
