If you need to "read the wiki" to learn how to play your game, you have a badly designed game. We used to have things called manuals. If it's a complex strategy game and you don't want to make a manual then put all the relevant information inside the fucking game instead of outsourcing it to neckbards who spend more time updating wikis than playing your game.

If a game has "fast travel" then it has completely failed.

it doesn't say what items that you pick during character creation do so I uninstalled it
not playing slop that requires checking everything on wiki because dev was too lazy to put descriptions

I generally agree that needing a wiki to learn the basics of a game is bad, but games having deeper hidden mechanics that you only start figuring out when replaying is peak, at that point you're already engaged, so doing research for the game doesn't feel like work, and makes replaying much more fun.

Every Paradox grand strategy ever.
The ingame tutorials are barebones and only cover like 5% of the systems that you're going to be dealing with.

Escape from Tarkov
I don't think it's even possible to progress in that game without the wiki
