Big Barn World vs Oxygen Not Included
Big Barn World
Big Barn World is a pretty unique farm simulation game, mainly because it takes social aspect of social farming simulations to a whole new level. In this game, you'll not only need to plant, grow and harvest your own crops; you will also get to raise a variety of adorable animals. All the harvest and animal produce you obtain will then be sold to earn money. There are many farm plots you can unlock as you level up while certain plots are reserved for "members" of the Farmers with Benefits club.The really unique part about the game though is not the fact that you can visit your friends' farms - that has been done multiple times across most farm sims - but the fact that you can plant special seeds in specifically-designated friend plots on your friends' farms. You won't be able to take care of the crop as your friend will do that for you, but when the crop matured and it sold, both you and your friend will get a cut of the profits!
Big Barn World may not be as popular as Farmville or any of Facebook's more popular farm sims, but the game offers something different; something more social that will do well with players with plenty of actively gaming friends. If this sounds like just the game for you, be sure to give it a try. The game is available on both Android and iOS.
Oxygen Not Included
Oxygen Not Included is one of the most highly anticipated new survival/base building game by Klei Entertainment, the very people behind the breakout indie title, Don't Starve. Set in a space-colony where oxygen itself is a limited commodity, Oxygen Not Included will put your management and planning skills to the test as you try your best to not only help your current colonist survive the next day but also to grow your colony into a bustling underground space colony.The game has a very in-depth base building system that may bring to mind a 2D version of SimCity. It also features realistic psychological effects (specifically, stress) of surviving, which may eventually lead to a breakdown, and naturally, you wouldn't want that. Aside from oxygen and the mental states of your people, you will also need to keep a variety of other factors well-regulated lest your colonists die from a necessity you've neglected. Best yet, like Don't Starve, each world you play in is procedurally generated, guaranteeing hours after hours of replayable fun!
In some way, Oxygen Not Included feels like a much more in-depth version of Fallout Shelter albeit with a different theme and Don't Starve's iconic art style. So, if you love Klei's games so far, you might want to check out Oxygen Not Included. However, bear in mind that the game is still a work in progress and if you have any suggestions, you can always send them some feedback.
