Oxygen Not Included is on sale this weekend. If (like me) you happen to have wanted to play it for a long time, but were worried you lack the patience/stamina and give up after a couple of hours, the price is now at a level where buyer's regret is rather unlikely.

How close is this game to Don't Starve? I tried getting into it with a friend of mine but couldn't and dropped it after a couple of runs.

In my opinion it is very similar in these aspects:

  • The way that it's a bit overwhelming and the tiniest mistake can royally screw you
  • It doesn't hold your hand much
  • The depth of the game

Overcoming a challenge is fun.

for the first bullet at least you can switch between no sweat and standard

One of the more accessable Dwaft Fortress spins

oni is closer to lemmings or the incredible machine, imo

i like dont starve but it's a much different experience

I love ONI and Don't Starve is hard for me to get into. ONI is a mechanical/technical base/management simulator. I'm a huge Factorio player and ONI scratches a pretty similar itch
