- Dyson sphere project, is a great factory game in development for ages and one of my favourites by a 5 person Chinese team.
- Rift breaker by a small Polish group is like a cross between Diablo and Tower defence factory builder lite
- Criticality, is a fun incremental game that will keep you occupied for a few days, hit neutrons to create a chain reaction, basically bubble wrap
- “Lost wiki Kozlovka”, is a very unique find the clue by reading Wikipedia articles in early 90’s internet only about 2 hours long, highly recommended.
- Take a look at the “secret of weapstone demo”, DnD in hand drawn black and white
- Alan’s automation workshop, is good before it gets too hard it you like programming challenges, try the demo first
- Silicon dreams, is like a physiological interrogation, you are trying to determine if the people are human or malfunctioning Androids, again there is a demo
- Horripilant, is an interesting auto batteler, again with demo
- Terraformental, is an incremental text adventure where you build skills to survive a time loop
- A dark forest, was entertaining, currently free demo
- Cleared hot, it’s basically desert strike helicopter gunship game
- Tower wizard, fun for a few hours
- Little rocket lab, like factorio but you take over a town and it’s cute
Kids recommend “look outside,” and “mouthwashing”, lobotomy corporation, lethal company, - The signal state, another programming type game
My youngest recommends "rainworld’ like a 2d dark souls
That’s my list from the last couple of months. I tend to search demos by genre and wish list things that get my attention. No idea how any of them works under Linux
EDIT: had to fix up the formatting on mobile.
Edit 2: went through my review and added:
- “Town to city” like cities skyline but fun and cute
- IXION, nice little confined space city building game
- The crust, heaps of potential but waiting for them to finish it
- Shapez and Shapez 2, fun little puzzle factory games.
- Sandustry is more fun than it has any reason to e
- cataclismo
- space rock breaker, a cross between pachinco and asteroids
older games,
- TIS-100, like assembler but more limited
- papers please, love this one, love the aesthetic. If you don’t want to play it watch the live action video homage ~10 minutes
I’ve ignored VR games, let me know if you want those too.
Forgot about Tactical Breach Wizards, would definitely recommend. Superhot is great, superhot in VR is amazing.
