Oxygen Not Included vs Supreme Commander
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.
Supreme Commander
Supreme Commander is an excellent spiritual successor to the popular strategic game, Total Annihilation. Set in a futuristic world and a futuristic war between three factions, the game lets you dive into the turning point in the war where only one faction can emerge as the victor. The gameplay emphasizes strongly on strategic planning and thinking ahead as you'll not only need to amass an offensive force to take out your enemies; you'll also need to build up your base's defenses in order to repel invading armies.Aside from its abandoned multiplayer mode, the most unfortunate thing about this game though is that there isn't a speed up option so most of the processes in the game are incredibly slow. Even the movement of your vehicles is slow. So, unless you have hours after hours to spend, Supreme Commander might not appeal to you as much - you might want to try its sequel instead.
