I can think of a handful of games that, despite being games that I’ve enjoyed, never really became part of a “genre”. Do you have any like this, and if so, which?
Are they games that you’d like to see another entrant to the genre to? Would you recommend the original game as one to keep playing?
Basically Mario 64 mixed with a metroidvania with awesome vibes. Never played anything else like it.
Terra Nil. It’s an anti city builder. Land in a polluted wasteland, clean the soil, plant seeds, set up ecosystems, make sure they can persist without you, and recycle all your structures before you leave. Appreciate the beauty of the natural ecosystem you restored as you fly away.
I want more games like this.
I just started playing Terra Nil today, on your recommendation; I had a craving for a crafting type game, and remembered I had saved this comment two weeks ago. I’m really enjoying it, so thank you — I wouldn’t have known of it if not for you.
Space Station 14!
There’s no other game like it. It’s so absurdly in depth! You can play super hardcore with loads of knowledge and be next to a total casual in the same shift both enjoying your time together!
It’s in early access on Steam right now. Ask and you shall receive!
Space Station 13 ^^ It’s father. I literally have no time to get back into it though…
