I’m looking for a new colony sim on PC. What I’ve played so far are:
- Rimworld
- Oxygen Not Included
- Banished
- Timberworld
- Frostpunk
- Anno 1800
I know some of these might not be strictly colony sims. What I’m really looking forward to is Manor Lords, but we don’t have a definite release date on that.
What are your recommendations?
Dwarf fortress
All the other slim shadys are just imitating.
Oxygen Not Included :)
Rimworld with mods can basically turn in whatever game you want. There is no limit
Dwarf Fortress is great once you get past the steep learning curve.
I feel like I should recommend Dwarf Fortress but I also feel like I should NOT recommend Dwarf Fortress.
Look, I’ll just leave Dwarf Fortress here in the corner, peering into the room and the rest of us can try to ignore it. But it’s there.
Dwarf Fortress isn’t a colony sim game, though
It’s a tavern corpse clean up sim.
The Steam edition feels a lot more recommendable, though.
I like the idea of DF, but I’m leaning more towards Songs of Syx instead. It’s not on sale so I’m in no hurry but it’s on my shortlist
