Which game is this about? Oxygen Not Included is a survival simulation by Klei Entertainment, the creators behind Don’t Starve Together. The game was released in 2019 and on Steam it has already received over 109,000 reviews. Players have rated it 96% extremely positive. Enough reason for us to take a look at it.
- The goal is to establish your own colony beneath the surface of an alien planet and build a safe base there. A place where oxygen is as scarce as important resources.
- You manage your base, construct new rooms, life support systems, and technologies.
- The gameplay mechanics are heavily based on real physical laws. So you have to pay attention to things like air circulation, waste disposal, and resource management.
- In addition, you need to meet the needs of your residents and keep an eye on their morale to avoid failures.
Until when is the offer valid? Until July 11, 2024, you can get Oxygen Not Included on Steam for 66% off. You currently pay only €7.81 instead of the full price of €22.99.
The bundle with the DLC “Spaced Out!” is also currently available at a discount on Steam. Here you can save 67% and pay only €11.13 instead of the full €33.78.
Additionally, there is the “Klei Survival Bundle 2024” with 8 games from the studio and the “Klei Base Builder Bundle with 4 games” each for under €25 on sale.
Who is this game interesting for? Oxygen Not Included should appeal to all players who enjoy management challenges and fun in building their own base. Those who like games with “busy factor” and attention to detail will likely also find this game enjoyable.
Busy factor with a lot of attention to detail
The trailer already shows many small, funny scenes, such as a resident stumbling and falling, or getting an electric shock. Such scenes give the game its own unique charm. This seems to be a positive point for many players in their reviews. “The animations are just so cute and lovingly made, there was no skimping here,” writes a player in their review.
“In the absolutely unlikely event that I ever end up in a weeks-long quarantine, I want to be locked up with this game,” writes another player. And that surely says enough to know that you can spend many hours playing Oxygen Not Included.
