I'm looking for a new colony sim on PC. What I've played so far are:

  • Rimworld
  • Oxygen Not Included
  • Banished
  • Timberworld
  • Frostpunk
  • Anno 1800

I know some of these might not be strictly colony sims. What I'm really looking forward to is Manor Lords, but we don't have a definite release date on that.

What are your recommendations?

Obligatory Dwarf Fortress (I'm a DF simp). But also:

Against The Storm

Clanfolk

Foundation

Going Medieval

KeeperRL (This is a weird one)

Does “satisfactory” count? It’s still in early access but I fucking love that game.

Ixion comes to mind. You are in charge of managing a space station as you try to navigate the last of humanity to a new planet. Its more directed than most Sims, with a campaign split in to multiple acts but I found it quite challenging and engaging.

Anno 1800 is amazing if you don't like the survival aspect of the other games.

If you liked Frostpunk, have a look at Ixion.

You're on a space station, basically the same thing. Except it's one large campaign, not like Frostpunk's limited format. Honestly I think Frostpunk is the superior game, but Ixion is pretty good.
