Which games can I inspect for building, sorting, arranging or collecting play?
Some people prefer repetitive, spatial, organising or collection-focused play, but those preferences should be described directly rather than explained through a diagnosis stereotype.
Current understanding
The catalogue now includes free-form building (Tiny Glade, Townscaper, SUMMERHOUSE, Gourdlets), collecting and arranging (Garden Galaxy), grid organisation (Cats Organized Neatly), object manipulation (The Shape of Things) and household-item arrangement (Unpacking). The route describes mechanics only; liking sorting or repetition is not evidence of any diagnosis.

What evidence is still needed
- More governed facets for repetition, collection completion, free-form versus puzzle constraints, and whether progress systems introduce pressure.
Where people may disagree
- A mechanic that feels satisfying or regulating to one player can feel tedious, perfectionistic or frustrating to another.
When this answer should be revisited
- A listed game's core mechanic or progression structure materially changes.
- The catalogue adds materially different organising/collecting structures that change the comparison.
Question provenance and review state
Question assembled from reviewed game Resources with explicit building, organising, collecting or object-arrangement mechanics. The route is interest/mechanic-led and does not infer a neurodivergent trait from preference.
