A survival sim with deep potential.
RimWorld, the venerable deep space survival sim, was originally released in 2013 and requires less than a gigabyte of storage space. It exists entirely on a two-dimensional plane; the fauna and infrastructure looks to be constructed out of scrap paper, and characters resemble tiny, Flash cartoon jelly beans rather than flesh-and-blood human beings.
Just like in RimWorld, Stranded makes you responsible for a small band of survivors who've crash landed on an unfriendly, unknown hostile planet. You manage their lives with a tableau of mechanics that blend both Terraria-esque base-building and Sims-ish psychodrama.
Yes, Stranded keeps you on the brink—you're always one bad run-in with a carnivorous band of invaders from a game over screen—but generally, developer Haemimont Games keeps its focus on the experience itself. These refugees possess their own tics, biases, and specialties, even here, a long way from Earth. Sometimes the most fun you can have in Stranded is sitting back and relaxing while the pressure cooker boils over.
