Need some advice for a problem I have when playing with almost any base building games

I love playing these games but I hit a point when playing that is frustrating me to no end.

Games like Grounded 1 & 2, Aethus, Abiotic Factor, Planet Crafter, Blossom, Valheim, Palworld all start out great for me but I reach a point pretty early when it comes to building where I almost get a type of analysis paralysis. I am horrible at building any kind of base because I am not creative but I keep trying to build something that is at least optimized and functional but I get frustrated easily and can't make a decision.

Right now, for example, I am just trying to decide where to build my base in grounded 1 for the hundredth time. I make my way to various locations I have seen recommended in video and just freeze, I can't make a decision on what to build.

I hope I have explained this clear enough. I thought just building something would help me push past this but I end up just demolishing what I just built over and over. I though it was just the game I was playing so I would try something else but no luck. Really frustrated. I would really appreciate some advice on how to get past this.

Your favorite game on STEAM with a rating of "Mixed" or lower

EDIT: WOW! this blew up. Thanks all for sharing your game recommendations!

I have nasty habit of skipping over any game rated mixed or lower on Steam. Looking to change that. Please recommended me your favorite game, regardless of genre, that is rated "Mixed" or lower.

Please do not include games that have been "review bombed" for one reason or another. This includes Slay the Spire 2. Just games that naturally earned those ratings please.
