King Buffalo one of my favorites of the genre

Absolutely will be playing it haha. Interested to see how they’ll improve it. Got a slight bit completionist/grindy by the end once I “figured it out”. But sometimes that’s the nature of survival games where you feel like you gotta gather every last scrap

Just finished playing Darkwood. Was a very unique little game.

Planning on playing Baurotrauma or Zomboid next if I can wrangle some friends

I would also recommend trying the Rampant mod! Made factorio into a crazy tower defense game that put new life into it for me.
