It’s an enchanting genre that I don’t see come up as often as it should. I would say my preference is towards exocolonist as it’s more forgiving, and the subsystem breaks up what might otherwise become monotonous.
A few of the things I like about the genre is the tangible growth and the impact your skills have on the story at large. Like the skill dialogues in fallout, but with more impact.
I also like the romance options and slow burn in exocolonist
Funny, I was just thinking about this today as I was going through my Steam wishlist. I don’t even know what to call the genre but I want more of it. Haven’t heard of exocolonist before, so I’ll check that out. The only other one I can think of right now is Growing Up (Steam link), but that one is kind of shallow and not great for replayability.
Oh man, exocolonist has been great. You definitely won’t be disappointed. Try to stay as blind as possible to begin with! The art style is gorgeous and I love all of the love interests, so enjoy it!
