This or Oxygen not Included

[HyperVyper]

I'm torn between RimWorld and Oxygen Not Included. I enjoy indie games like Terraria and Stardew Valley.

I would appreciate any feedback that will sway me in one direction or the other. Thanks!

These game are nothing like Terraria or Stardeew Valley, they are "complicated".

I know, I am trying to get into a game that is "complicated" and strategic. I am asking which one is better for racking up 50+ hours.

Rimworld then. ONI has a set formula it follows every time all the time. Deviate and die. It might change later on but seriosuly I've played it. You goof off you die fast. Plus once you get the plan down it's rather boring because you just follow it everytime. Or ya know, die. It's like don't starve in that regard.

Rimworld is built around it's RNG and the situations it creates with them. Add in the metric butt ton of mods that add even more events, content, and some going for total conversions you got alot of options to replay the game with even after you've gotten a bit bored of the vanilla gameplay.

ONI is by no means bad but really lacks replay value at the moment, perhaps later in developement it will fix this but right now it's pretty linear in gameflow which makes it get stale fairly quick.

Rimworld. I just bhought mine 5 mins ago after player hundreds of hours from a pirated copy. I tried it first if Im gonna like it. I buy the game because I wanna support the devs for their amazing work. There are a lot of different mods too which can change how you play the game. ie: Star wars mod , Zombie apocalypse mod etc..

If you don't know the answer to this question you need to do some more research.

if you enjoy complex management with a cohesive storyline, chose this. if you enjoy virtual cahos with cute but inept colonists, pick oxygen not included.

Rimworld. I love Klei's games, but Rimworld has been in development a lot longer, and is the better game.

U dont mind spending the 30$ bucks NP, if u dont, always think about EA games. Both these games r EA and might never be finsihed or take 10years.All EA games r a risk dont let fanboi tell u otherwise.

This game is only EA because Tynan wants to give more stuff for free,this game was already completed since like A16.

This is how you know a game is good. Someone got a pirated copy and decided they wanted to buy it full price anyway.

Good on you, Tynan.

ONI is still too early, and so far the updates are adding content, but without reasons to use that content. A lot of systems have been partially in the game but not really working for a while, and some systems have been broken or made obsolete by updates. IE food and stress are both pointless systems that do nothing in the current version. There's very little replayability, no real randomness, no spice, it's like playing the same stage of a puzzle game over and over.

Rimworld... where else can you have a bionic cowboy that sells harvested organs and breeds timber wolves and wooly mammoths to sell to interglactic traders?

Definitely Rimworld, this game is done, everything added is just extra.
Oxygen Included is good, and similar, yet vastly different. Oxygen is definitely less polished and far from finished, already good though.
