Best PC Exclusive Games of 2019
Second Runner-Up: Oxygen Not Included
Publisher/Founder Yamilia Avendano: The longtime early access darling, Oxygen Not Included, finally officially released in 2019. Which could have fooled anyone because what was apparently in Early Access was already a rich and full game that has provided tons of management sim fans on Steam hundreds of hours of entertainment. As well as Klei’s signature cutesy art style, to boot!
With Oxygen Not Included, you’re managing a colony that’s crash landed onto a meteor, hurtling through space. Sounds basic? Well, have you ever played a game where oxygen and gases took a forefront to the actual management?
Not only are you juggling the basic needs of these people… but oxygen is now a basic need to look out for as well as all the unbreathable gases that you can imagine. Boy oh boy, does air run out fast when you have people taking up a tiny space on a rock.
You’re going to be learning straight up gas laws while playing this game. Did you have a clue that Carbon Dioxide drops down? Yeah? You’re lying, play this game to learn more of those laws and get your hands on one of the best management sims to come out in recent years.
