Last weekend I was dog sitting and had some time to kill. I finally bought myself Oxygen Not Included in a steam sale for the princely sum of £6. I’ve had my eye on it for years, the art style is great and I love a colony management game.
I have resisted for ~6 years because I am truly awful at Don’t Starve. I am an absolute liability playing Don’t Starve Together, I die at a rate that’s on par with how often I die in Project Zomboid.
Thankfully, ONI is far less stressful. Not WITHOUT stress, as my poor Duplicants are not having a great time. They often half starved and having to clean up pee while trying not to breath in some chlorine that is leaking in from…. somewhere. But I’m having a great time! I love a game with good systems and managing gasses, liquids and temperature is proving a really good twist on other colony games. I’ve seen the arguments as to why toilets aren’t in Rimworld, but this is my time to shine with plumbing and HVAC logistics!
