MewnBase
MewnBase is a nice little survival game about a cat astronaut stranded on another planet. It's developed by a single indie dev, but it's worth supporting. There's enough content for the price, but don't expect to get more than about 6-7 hours out of it. The basic game revolves around hunting for resources to build base modules, research newer technology and making surviving easier. For example, you start with small garden patches, can turn them into greenhouses, build a water collector and a water distribution system. There's also a vehicle, several kinds of power generation, weather effects, oxygen etc. It's worth trying, but a little clunky.
Pros
- The main character is a cat
- Has artifacts you can research
- Interesting tech tree
- Vehicle movement is a lot better than during early access
- There's lots of things to unlock
- Relatively high difficulty curve makes it feel like an achievement when you survive
Cons
- Assets are fuzzy (given the art style, they should be vector graphics but everything is a bit pixellated)
- Movement controls are floaty
- Could do with some background music, it's a bit empty
- Choppy framerate
- Modules that don't need power (like storage, and empty habitat modules) complain that they have no power
- Collecting resources is tedious
- It's really unclear how basic things work. Like how power goes through buildings, or how you automatically water plants
- Changing your base layout is very clunky. You have to disassemble everything, everything falls out on the ground
