Indoorlands vs Sheltered
Indoorlands
Indoorlands is an indoor theme park simulation game where you can build your theme park from the ground up, decorate the place, customize each ride, and make as much money as you can by fulfilling your visitors’ needs. There’s also a research tree where you can unlock new ride and décor halls to build, thematic decor to place, and increase the number of visitors your park can support. Honestly, if you’ve played Parkitect before, Indoorlands will feel somewhat similar, albeit a simpler version of it, and indoors. Rides, for instance, are placed in specialized “ride halls” while décor can be placed either in ride halls or special décor halls.Now, despite currently being in early access, Indoorlands already has enough content for tens of hours of play, especially if you are simply obsessed over creating the best possible theme park with a high visitor approval rating. The game is also completely sandbox-based so you’re given free rein to create your park as you like. You can even take over the controls of a ride, have fun operating it, or even set your own ride program. However, that is not to say that the game’s a perfect early access title. It does have some hiccups and some room for improvement, especially when it comes to the depth of some of its features. Still, the game’s definitely worth its asking price even now and if you love theme park sims in general, you’ll definitely enjoy playing Indoorlands!
Sheltered
Sheltered is, in some way, a mixture of the survival management gameplay that Fallout Shelter has popularized and the emotional rollercoaster that This War of Mine puts you through, all rolled into a single game. In this game, you play as the protector of a family of four who managed to make their way to a deserted shelter in a dreary, post-apocalyptic world. Like Fallout Shelter, you can plan, build and expand your bunker to accommodate more facilities and resources you've scavenged from your daily expeditions above ground.However, like This War of Mine, the game presents you with a ton of randomly selected scenarios, most of which will put you in a moral dilemma as you are forced to choose between forsaking your family's survival or your humanity/morality. As your bunker grows, you can also recruit more people to join you. Knowing who to trust enough to allow them access to your shelter is another dilemma that you'll probably need to face in this game.
Sheltered is the perfectly-designed game for players who find Fallout Shelter a bit too casual for their liking and This War of Mine a bit too restricted. If you' like what you've read so far, then do get the game from Steam. You can thank me later!
