10 Best Management Sim Video Games You Need To Play
3. Oxygen Not Included
The ability to breathe is something we tend to take for granted in games. When we build vast cities or the perfect theme park, oxygen isn't at the top of the list of resources to keep track of. At least it wasn't until now. Klei Entertainment's Oxygen Not Included is a new type of management sim. Instead of taking place on our planet, there's a new territory to explore: an asteroid.
The game places the player on an asteroid where only small pockets of air and breathable atmosphere are available. Not just that, but the player is unable to recall how they got onto the asteroid.
From there, the player must manage their space colony in the most detailed of ways. Survival mechanics in Oxygen Not Included focus on the usual issues like hunger, but also include keeping an eye on human waste and oxygen levels.
This rogue-like game is perfect for those who want a little bit more than just the usual population challenge. When faced with almost insurmountable challenges in an uninhabitable environment, will you succeed in making humanity thrive?
