Red Tractor Tycoon vs Shelter
Red Tractor Tycoon
Red Tractor Tycoon is a surprisingly unique, fun and relaxing farm simulation game where you get to design your own farm, plant and harvest a variety of crops, rear several types of farm animals, and even build factories to produce crafted goods that you can place on your farm or sell for a profit! The game is also pretty simple to pick up and as you progress, you'll get to uncover new land to develop a farm on.For an early access game, Red Tractor Tycoon is definitely among the rare “cream of the crop”. The game is relatively bug-free, though there are still some aspects that I think the developers can work on to improve their game and attract more players. The gameplay here might feel rather tedious, especially for the first hour or so when you’re just wandering around and clicking on everything while trying to figure things out, but eventually, the game does become a lot more enjoyable.
Shelter
Shelter is truly a one-of-a-kind game where you'll get to play as a mother badger who's taking care of her newly-born cubs. Developed by Might and Delight, the game puts you on an exciting yet heartwarming adventure as you travel about with your cubs in tow in hopes of finding the perfect shelter to raise them. In your journey, you and your family will encounter lots of danger and it is up to you - the mama badger - to protect your cubs from harm, whether it is a raging forest fire or a bird of prey.Besides adventure, the game also comes with a second game mode called Nurture. It's a lot like a Tamagochi game where you'll need to head into the game every day (at least once) to give your cubs the stuff they need to survive and also to forge closer bonds with them.
This is one of the breakout indie games of 2013 but it's not the sort of game that will get old with age, so if you love games where you'll get to play as an animal and you enjoy a good story-adventure, then Shelter is your best bet!
