I’m looking for a new colony sim on PC. What I’ve played so far are:

  • Rimworld
  • Oxygen Not Included
  • Banished
  • Timberworld
  • Frostpunk
  • Anno 1800

I know some of these might not be strictly colony sims. What I’m really looking forward to is Manor Lords, but we don’t have a definite release date on that.

What are your recommendations?

    Against the storm is one of my favorite entries to the sub genre in a long time. I play loads of city/colony sims and this title stood out as something unique without getting away from the core elements of a colony sim. It also takes the best parts of rogue likes without making the game feel impossibly hard (but you can ramp up the difficulty in a variety of ways including in the middle of playing)

    But like others have stated it’s not going to scratch the same itch as massive city builders like Cities, or factory games.

    Still it felt fresh and I dumped a couple hundred hours into it already.
