Gamers of Reddit, what are some underrated games do you think more people should play?

Dude calm down .. I'm honestly not sure what I said that made you send the last message then delete it, go read my other comment and come back. I respect you preferring to go the 0 spoil way and I'm fine with that. I'm saying that I don't see how it could give more feedback as everything is there to help you. There's different UI to see the temperature and a report every cycle to help you see if your oxygen/food production is going down or what. The game is missing a tutorial I give you that. Which is why I recommend watching one on youtube.

Because of the way the game is made it's pretty hard to be spoiled the game by watching videos. The game has it's own physics laws that don't quite match real life and has some weird bug that might ruin your stuff and I rather learn about those quirk first. The videos I watch are from Brothgar who mostly do experimentation with the game system. The game offers stuff like a petroleum boiler that's a neat little building that produces petroleum. But like most of those buildings, doing it this way comes at a cost (like wasting 50% of the oil). The trick is to instead build a large contraption with the game logic and the right material to boil the oil yourself and get 100% of it back as petroleum. Depending on the material your map has the available geyser and biomes theirs tons of ways to solve every problem. They added different types of maps recently to make this even harder. Brothgar goes into how he solved some of those problems in his map using is engineering experience and from that, you can apply the same reasoning to solve similar problems in your map.

I'm not a Youtuber paid to fuck around doing experimentation in a game all days so yeah I watch his video to see the results of his experiment and help me design my own contraption on the weekend. Hardly make that game easier. It is a pretty unique and challenging game that's hard to spoil IMO.

To give you an idea of all the possible contraption google "petroleum boiler oxygen not included" and take a look at the images. All sorts of weird and fun ways to make what's basically the same machine. And that's only to boils oil, there way more things to do.

To come back to hand-holding, my point is their tons of ways to solve every problem and that would change on every game you play depending on the random map generation and would require the game to controls every aspect of a tutorial that would last like 5-10 hours. So yeah maybe I'm just lacking imagination, but from my experiment, I don't see what they could do to make that easier.

Anyway, hope that makes it more clear and I still think you should give version 1.0 a try. Have a good day.
