Oxygen Not Included

After investing some time into this game, I suppose I have no choice but to say I like it.

A Masterpiece of Controlled Chaos and Thermodynamics The Good Unmatched Engineering Depth: This isn't just a survival game; it's a simulation of physics, gasses, liquids, and thermodynamics. You will design functional plumbing, automated power grids, and complex gas filtering systems. Adorably Dumb Colony Members: Y…

Don't let the cute art style and the daft little dupes fool you. This isn't a chill builder, it's a thermodynamics PhD wearing a colony sim as a disguise. The title's a bit of a joke really, oxygen is the least of your worries once you're knee deep in heat management, gas distribution and a pipe network that's turne…

This is one of the most compelling games ever made. Just fantastic. Replayable as anything I've seen.

This is a weird one. A very good game that's held back by a singular lie: It is NOT AT ALL the game that you actually play for the first handful of hours. ONI is a puzzle, survival, roguelike game that masquerades as a colony sim. And that's my biggest problem with it. Starting out, it presents as a colony sim. And…

Oxygen Not Included is a masterpiece of chaotic engineering. It disguises a brutal, deeply complex thermodynamics and plumbing simulator behind a deceptively cute cartoon art style. You start out just trying to dig a toilet, and fifty hours later you’re sweating over gas pressure, automated heat management, and liqu…
