Open Sewer vs Spore
Open Sewer
Open Sewer is an RPG/simulation game where you’ll not only get to manage your own apartment block, but to also scour the grime-covered streets for precious bottles to recycle and earn some cash from. There are plenty of characters to meet and perhaps get quests from, as well as plenty more crafting options using materials that you can either collect from dumpster diving, trash picking or drain fishing, or buy from the local stores. Although the map is currently pretty small for an open world game, there are many places for you to explore within the city... and if you're lucky, you may even find a whole stash of resources that you can repurpose for your own benefit!The whole concept behind the game and also its implementation is impressive, to say the least! Open Sewer has all the makings of a successful indie hit, but there are still many bugs to fix and rooms to improve (the game's currently in early access). Hopefully, if the developers do truly take the players' suggestions and feedback into account, Open Sewer might just go mainstream!
Spore
Spore is a pretty unique and addictively fun god-mode-like sandbox game where you get to create a whole new world and fill it with your living creations. As a "god", you can play around with the game's five evolutionary stages, from Cell to Space, and grow an entire space-faring civilization from its very simple beginnings as a single-cell organism. Of course, to develop a civlization, you'll need plenty of tools to help them along and Spore gives all of that to you in an easy-to-use format. You can literally customize everything you like in the game ranging from vehicles that your creations will drive or even buildings that your organisms will live in.Although Spore is essentially a single player game - after all, there can only be one almighty god... and that's you! - the world you've created is shared with other players in the game, so your creations can actually explore new planets and maybe even bump into a hostile race which will force them to make the preparations needed to go to war.
Overall, Spore is an amazingly detailed, civilization-building, sandbox game that allows you to micromanange almost everything if you choose to do so, or you could lay down the groundwork and let things unfold by themselves. Best yet, there is no limit as to how many worlds you can create, so unleash your creativity and your godly powers and develop the ultimate civilization today!
