Oddsparks
Genre: Factory construction | Steam-Release: 24. April 2024 (Early Access) | Preis: 20 Euro
This factory construction optimization spiral is one of the most satisfying game mechanics, as can be seen in absolute fan favorites such as Factorio or Satisfactory. Oddsparks: An Automation Adventure is a rather unknown new representative of the genre.
The game focuses a bit more on cuteness and adventure. So if the genre interests you but also intimidates you a bit, you might find Oddsparks a good place to start. However, the game is still in Steam Early Access, so it is not yet fully developed.

Crow Country
