Extremely cool idle game that offers plenty of engaging systems and meaningful decisions to make about your resources and priorities.

A pretty fun semi-idle game where you wander around the map, collecting and arranging components that allow your robot to produce or process energy and resources. As you prestige and complete stages, you unlock more automation and crafting features, allowing you to build up your robot without having to wait for specific drops. A bit glitchy at times. Some of this is attributable to Windows 11 breaking compatibility in some arcane way after release, but the dev is actively working on fixing that. There's also an active official feature/QoL suggestion thread in the forums, so the game's likely to keep improving.

Nice game. You are a robot/AI tasked with repairing some important system damaged by an apocalyptic war. To do so you need a huge amount of ressources and to collect them you need to upgrade your robot. Though even after finishing the game I am still not certain what the purpose system is. Is it the life support of an artificial world? I would have loved if we got a bit more flavor text. Maybe some random encounters?

Pretty fun and unique little idle game with lots to do. You spend your time collecting parts and resources, organizing them as efficiently as you can, upgrading your parts, and exploring the map. Following that main gameplay loop was really addicting and kept me hooked for hours, as you can see lol. My only complaints are that: 1) The items you can only unlock by progressing deep into the end game aren't very useful imo 2) The primary gameplay loop of collecting > upgrading > grinding gets a wee bit stale in the latter half of the game 3) The exploration of the map is a little weak, and left me wanting more Overall, though, I had fun with the game and can say im satisfied with my purchase. Would definitely recommend at least checking it out and seeing if it's for you

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
