I Am Future
I Am Future is a unique upbeat mix of survival, exploration and deconstruction. You awake on a rooftop of a skyscraper in a ruined world and slowly uncover who you were, what happened, and why you survived. The gameplay loop mostly revolves around deconstructing the environment, crafting upgrades, tools, crafting stations, and robots. There's a light automation element where you can build robots who will tend your farms, clear things up etc. It's really satisfying to play.
Pros
- Beautiful simplistic graphics
- All resources are renewable
- Interesting setting
- Many things you come across are collected in different ways rather than just clicking on them, which makes it more engaging (sawing, hammering, drilling)
- I like the object disassembly minigame
- Blueprints for upgrading tools
- Can pin recipes to remember what you're doing
- Interesting crafting recipes
- You fix up a drone which can go out exploring for you, and discover locations with renewable loot and story elements
- There are NPCs to meet and bring back to base
- Minion bots to carry stuff around
- Has some quests, not just survival
- Has a "coziness slider" to allow you to customise the gameplay. Like by default, leeches attack your crops and you need to build defenses. You can turn that off if you want.
Cons
- I'm not a fan of the camera controls
- Music is repetitive
