The Planet Crafter.
I've been playing this for a while. You are a prisoner dropped on an
airless rock in space with minimal tools. Terraform it or die.
Some call it a "cozy" game since in regular mode you can't actually die.
Its a LOT like the Subnautica games so if you liked those you will
probably like this.
Yeah, it sounds like yet-another-survival/crafting-game to me.
It is. But I like a lot of those so there! *pffffftttt*
I'm not complaining or judging. I've been known to play those games
too, and besides, anyone with hundreds upon hundreds of hours invested
into a boring truck-driving game has no right to look down upon other
people's genre's-of-choice.
I do have a bit of an issue with so many survival-crafting games often
feeling like simple reskins of what's popular (same way I look askance
at the proliferation of truck-driving sims) but that's more of my wish
for more novelty and originality in the industry.
I mean, I do personally find a lot of the 'search for rock and twigs
so I can build Tool' mechanics of survival-crafting sort of tedious...
but again, this is coming from a person who thinks that carefully
driving along the highway at a modest 80kph and making sure to always
use my turn signal is engrossing entertainment. ;-)
That's not entertainment. That's meditation.
