Learning Factory
As a big fan of simulators (especially building-type simulators), I was excited to check this game out from the second it popped up on my gaming feed. It’s still in Early Access so it’s not quite complete, but you’ll still be able to put in quite some time to getting your factory up to tip top shape.
PROS:
-
Nothing really costs too much money, so as long as you keep your researchers busy learning new things, you can make a large factory/shops with ease.
-
Once you craft something, it’s yours forever. If you place it down, you can just pick it right back up.

Highly recommended, I bought it the moment the lovely Discord staff said it was up on Steam for sale.
Keeping in mind, this is an Early Access game, so some features will be inevitably changed, but so far, the game is so reminiscent of Factorio. Within the two hours of me playing this game, it had me do some quests that get you a little taste of the game.
Fair Warning, this game is buggy. It just got released a few hours ago. Have some faith you people.
I personally have beef with that delayed crafting bug.

MewnBase
The Survival-Crafting polar opposite of Don’t Starve. It’s a gentle and relaxing sci-fi survival game - deaths are rare and usually only the result of overextending yourself (e.g. being away from base too long and running out of oxygen or food).
Although at this stage of development (April 2020) there isn’t much content, it’s very stable, rare bugs, with consistent, high quality art assets - it doesn’t have the rough “beta” feel of many other early access games.
Good:
- Fairly casual/relaxing survival game, with tech tree/research based progression.

MewnBase is a cool little survival crafting game about a cat.. in a space suit.. driving a buggy on another planet. What’s not to like :)
The default day/night cycle is quite relaxing to play, although you DO have to work to get food and maintain your base.
Oxygen levels drain fast once you start exploring and so is the contents of your stomach or the power levels of your suit when you enable your headlight.
While there isn’t that much to do compared to the more known games in this genre, it certainly is entertaining. Slowly expand your base, research upgrades, grow some crops and try to automate things to make life easier. By the end, you’re speeding around in a buggy, with or without additional trailers to pick up more goods.

Vermitron
Very cutesy action game with old school art. If you are up for a retro adventure and like exploration, give it a go!
It doesn’t look that challenging, but it’s not easy. Also, there are some mechanics I didn’t get at first, but you learn as you progress more in the game.
– Real player with 9.8 hrs in game
TL;DR: Give Vermitron a shot.
When most people think of twin-stick shooters, they think of raw micro mechanics. Disciplined aiming, shooting, and dodging, instead of careful, methodical thinking. Tibor Fobel embraces the later, fabricating a retro and tower defense hybrid. The result: a solid, old-school action game that deserves more attention.
Vermitron follows an intrepid astronaut, defending an endangered flower from invading insects. Player’s progress level-to-level, descending further into an infested base. Winning a floor is simple: blossom your flower by collecting three watering cans. However, hungry pests will be squirming to your base, so you’ll have to defend your plant along the way. Slaughtering worms and flies is easy. The trouble comes when picking up a watering can, which spawns a wave of insects. You also become slower, barely moving faster than a grub. Without a base defended by armed towers, your flower will be easy pickings as you travel back.

Catizens
Herding cats is easy! Said no one…ever
Your main job in Catizens is to build your town around the personality traits of its inhabitants. Just like in real life, cats require personal attention and special treatment. Combinations of different personality traits and moods affect their proficiency and obedience. Catizens form relationships with each other and will occasionally issue personal requests, so you will need to learn what makes each cat happy in order to stay on their good side.
Create unique cats and design the perfect home
Pick from an assortment of facial and body features, as well as personality traits to create cats with distinct looks and temperaments. Design a place just for them by decorating the interior of their home with pieces of furniture, plants and other items. The better furnished a house is, the happier your catizens will be. So get creative!
Build and manage your settlement
Catizens can learn a variety of professions – from farming, to blacksmithing or offering protection from local wildlife. Different building types unlock depending on the traits and professions available. There’s no need to micromanage the entire settlement when it gets large. Invest your time and attention in a few outstanding cats and let them become town leaders.
Explore the wilderness
Develop your settlement, complete objectives and expand to areas with different environments that offer new adventures. Carefully examine your surroundings to find the best fishing spots, hidden treasures and quirky characters that may offer a quest.

Animallica
I’ve edited my old review. This is a more up-to-date review.
In the first moments of my gameplay, I thought this game was no more than just another common survival game with bugs and it felt like it could be a little boring. I was totally wrong, though! This game has much more to give than I thought at first. Not 1, not 3 hours are enough to find out all what this game has to offer After finding out by myself how interesting this game can be, I got addicted to it. If you enjoy other games under the survival crafting genre, Animallica is a mix of other survival games, with the animal rescuing feature and theme that makes it even more interesting for who loves games centered in saving animals.

Animallica is one of, if not my favorite game of all time.
It’s a survival game with crafting elements based in a post-apocalyptic world. You start off by exploring the different biomes and gathering items that you find to make things necessary for your survival. Although there are many games that are like this, Animallica is really unique and fresh in my opinion.
I love the concept of finding and taming animals. There are everyday animals like dogs, chickens, cows, sheep, etc., as well as rare animals such as Giant Pandas, Tigers, and everything in between. Once tamed you can put the animals back in their original biomes or create an enclosure for them in your base. You can also have animals follow you, name them, and even help you in combat! If I’m being really honest I was sold once I saw that there were dogs in this game lol. They are constantly introducing animals with every update as well.
