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.

Friendly reminder that Klei is now owned by Tencent, in case that's important to anyone here.

That is important, thank you!

[–] Radiant_sir_radiant@beehaw.org 1 points 10 months ago

It sadly is. Thank you.

Even if you have up rather than plough 1000 hours I to it I still think you'd get a lot of enjoyment out of exploring the game for a normal 20 hours or so, it'd definitely hold attention longer than that even for the most impatient player. It just has so much character and pull to move up the tech tree and make cool layouts.

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

Losing is fun.

Overcoming a challenge is fun.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

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

[–] AnonStoleMyPants@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago

Ah thanks.

One of the more accessable Dwaft Fortress spins

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago

oni is closer to lemmings or the incredible machine, imo

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

[–] DeusHircus@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

600 hours in and still love it

now just give us our pei plushies, klei

[–] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It gets pretty complex as I recall, really fun

[–] GentlemanLoser@ttrpg.network 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If you like Rimworld, this is similar and just as awesome (maybe not as many war crimes)

[–] Sabata11792@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

Most of your war crimes happen because thermal dynamics are hard.
