I'm still playing in Early Access* the Soviet Revolution second campaign which is a comprehensive tutorial.

I love the detail, the complexity and the ambiance. The game looks great! The tutorials are excellent. The workshop has great content, and there's obviously a strong community.

Learning the interface and mechanics are really part of the adventure.

I love that there's no heavy-handed political message, the game is to manage exactly what is in the title: workers and resources. The dual currencies are thought-provoking. The research system is excellent, I'm really looking forward to working through the technology trees.

Update:

There are two campaigns that also act as tutorials. The introductory campaign can be finished rather quickly and it teaches you many fundamentals. I had already finished that first campaign when I originally wrote this review, but now I'm knee deep in the second campaign, "Soviet Revolution."

It is going very long, the technology tree I'm expecting to cover seems to grow.

I'm learning all kinds of new mechanisms, and many aspects of the interface are coming together. I think this Early Access title is a good value with just this campaign: I've restarted it three times to take into account the things learned and that was after a substantial time investment.

Things just make so much sense, and you start to uncover and enjoy some of the visuals,
you see new purposes in the tooling. You don't need all of the hand-holding and automation
that a decadent Western city building simulation would provide. You're not really just managing Workers and Resources anymore. In Soviet Revolution, Workers and Resources are managing you!

Great game and great work!

* I thought it was still in Early Access because Humble Bundle listed it as Early Access.

Scratches a little bit of the Settlers II itch, although it doesn't have transport nets.

Love the Norse mythology, characterizations and environments.

Challenging puzzle-like city builder!

I only have one complaint about this game. It doesn't warn you that some of the controls will reset your puzzle!

Otherwise it is pretty chillaxing.

I found this game through the 'Top 250' list and then picked it up from Humble, I had read about it before and it is exactly what I expected! Love what I'm seeing so far.

I love the sound and feel of this game. I like the odd backstory. I like the physics model. I like the emergent "personalities" of the dupes, the animals, and even the environment. I keep finding new things. I have only scratched the surface of this game, and haven't learned all of the tricks!

I heartily recommend Oxygen Not Included!
