In this game, a colony crash-lands on an unknown planet. Now survival depends on your ability to keep everything running smoothly. Resources, food, shelter, and mental well-being all need attention. While you can plan for basic needs, unexpected events controlled by the AI Storyteller bring new challenges. Some may be minor, like a storm damaging structures, while others can completely derail progress, such as colonists having emotional breakdowns.

Available platforms:  macOS, PlayStation 4, Linux, GeForce Now, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, Mac operating systems

2. Dyson Sphere Program

In Dyson Sphere Program, you have to build an energy-harvesting megastructure across space. You start by setting up production chains to gather resources and manufacture components. Unlike other factory-building games, there are no threats or enemies. If something goes wrong, it can be a supply bottleneck or a mismanaged assembly line. The more you automate, the larger your interplanetary operation becomes.

Available platforms: GeForce Now, Microsoft Windows

3. Planet Coaster

In this theme park simulation, you will control every aspect of the park, from setting up food stalls to designing roller coasters. You can create rides with complex layouts and themes. Pricing adjustments, staff management, and visitor happiness all affect success. Whether you want to build a realistic park or something completely wild, there’s plenty of creative freedom.

Available platforms: Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, macOS

4. Stardew Valley

Apart from just growing crops, you will also do animal care, crafting, mining, and building relationships with the local community. Each day you will face new tasks. You have to balance time effectively. There are a lot of activities, including farming, running a fishing business, or spending time exploring hidden areas. Regular upgrades, seasonal events, and customization options will keep you hooked on the game.

Available Platforms: Windows, Linux, macOS, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation Vita, iOS, Android

5. Farming Simulator 22

This is a realistic take on farming. You can grow different crops, raise livestock, and operate machinery. Weather conditions and market prices impact profits, so you need to plan ahead. Vehicles and equipment from real-life manufacturers add authenticity to the game. If you prefer a structured, hands-on management style, this game offers a detailed approach to agriculture.

Available platforms: PC (Windows and Mac), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S
