I have truly benefited from playing Factorio.
It sets you up with a logistical mindset, you learn to think about setting up a "supply chain" before you do something. This becomes a very abstract skillset that you start to apply in multiple areas of your life.
Secondly, it takes your thinking to a higher, more abstract level when you learn to build factories that build factories that build...
Thirdly, you learn polymorphic thinking in a high level. Like, products that are then taken through different processes produce entirely different things, and then some of them are fed back to this system.
I have played the game for low two-digit hours, but it augmented my thinking in a concrete way.
I will highly recommend Factorio.
Chess has also benefited me in being more far-sighted in shorter terms. Especially in situations with real rivals, or even without.
Scrabble had helped me learn in an early age that clever tricks and pragmatism help me win more than qualities like "elegance", etc. It was a lesson 'thrown in my face'.
