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?
Also want to second Against the Storm, with the caveat that if you enjoy seeing your colony go self-sufficient, this isn’t really the game. The instant your colony goes self-sufficient here, the game is basically over, and the gameplay loop consists entirely of the struggle in getting there based on a randomised set of variables.
… which makes it my favourite colony sim by a mile. I think I have over two hundred hours in it, and it’s still getting improved by the active devs.
