Especially thank you for Platform and Steam deck labels on each game!

[Grantcard]

Great video! Pick some games and thank you for such a complete guide

Rim world is a great game. The biggest problem is that the every time they do an update, the mods no longer work. Its a pain to get modders to fix there content and it's a pain for them to have to fix there mods every time. Then some mods are no longer used. Which sucks because some of those were one of a kind.
ONI was cool but gets really complicated.
PA is fun and mods make even more so. DLC's also add some play. I am still waiting for PA2 to drop. But they keep pushing back the release date.

"You're playing Rimworld again? What got you back into that?"

"ColdBeer."

"You're drunk?"

Great list. Rimworld, Oxygen Not Included, and Prison Architect are genius games, but maybe not for everyone. Frostpunk ist to me more a mix of city builder and survival with additional story related events.
Against the Storm is very cool. Some may claim it is more repetitive as the player builds a base with limited resources and requires adaption to the situation with randomized set of available buildings. But very well made.
I am missing Anno 1800 and Workers & Resources of the Sowjet Republic, but I also understand your list could get even much more longer like binging on potatoe salad. 😂

Humor. 😁

AN upcoming contender is Soulmask. It's not advertised as a colony sim, but it has most of the elements.

[OsamaBinLooney]

i really really really wanted to enjoy Oxygen Not Included and started it over at least 3 times, but it's just a bit too brutal for me
even Frostpunk on the harder difficulties isn't as hard

[ThePrimeMinisterOfTheBlock]

My favourite genre. Lets see if there are any mad new titles to pick up

That idea of your brain filing up just makes good evolutionary sense. Brains with a lot of excess capacity would be larger requiring more food and oxygen. Evolution should optimize brain capacity for the normal amount of knowledge needed. In the modern world we have so much more we can learn that we must try to exceed the capacity and something must go. I am concered about what I lost to learn French vocabulary.

You missed few nice games, like Ostriv, maybe Patron, but all-in-all nice list. I think I've played most of these games. Oh, and Songs of Syx, though it is more a city-state builder rather than colony sim... but still worth noticing (and superb game itself).

[shivcharan]

Stronghold is not a part of this list? Blasphemy!

[TheRandyGr]

Dawn of man should be on this list. Also Planet base is really good.

[Curratum]

Shame Foundation is not on the list. It's about to come out of EAccess and is lovely.

[Imogensatan]

I really want to download RimWorld but it’s so expensive

[ThePrimeMinisterOfTheBlock]

ONI should be #1. Rimworld is not that great.
