    While there are niggles to the experience, from relatively frequent frame rate drops at the start of each cycle and the AI occasionally getting confused to the game outright crashing (which is naturally quite frustrating), these issues seem like the aftermath of Early Access. With the game having a decent swell of community support and the developers just as keen to keep improving, Oxygen Not Included appears to be going onwards and upwards – or whatever direction you fancy, really.

    Oxygen Not Included is a challening, complex survival building game for creative tinkerers and fans of automatisation.

    Funny, clever, and extremely complex mix of management simulator and survival game that manages to make abject failure almost as entertaining as success.

    Most of all, the simulated personalities, habits and appearances of the dupes themselves feel like complete wasted effort.

    A bonkers survival sim where watching things fall apart is half the fun.

I started playing in early access and they just keep patching in new features and smoothing out the old ones (in a good way). It's the kind of game that sits in my library and waits for me to launch it again. I then binge it for a week or two and then go back to other games until I decide to play this one again. I suspect it will remain installed on my machine long after other "AAA titles" have been played and discarded. There are just some games that have that "one more turn" appeal, and this one falls firmly into that category. Each cycle (day) more things get accomplished and more progress is made, and you look forward to the next one each time. There are still some confusing concepts and the difficulty has varied dramatically over the course of the development. I am still trying to decide if it's hit a sweet spot or if there are still pits/peaks on that front.

    The short answer is that this is a fun strategy game that looks small at first but has an amazing amount of depth and complexity once you get into it.    … Expand

The game progression takes a bit to get used to. Effectively going from one emergency to another. Some come up slowly, others more quickly.

    I thought I had power all sorted out when I found a gas vent. Found out later that the gas wasn’t producing as quickly as I had hoped leaving me with a huge power emergency mid game.

    Can’t wait to see the finished product!    … Expand
