Nightwater

This is almost a recommend, but the gameplay loop is too shallow. This almost looks like a factory automation game, but don't get confused; Unlike most automation game, the gameplay discourages building actual factories. For example, the miners mine resources that you need to unlock progression. However, you don't get credit for mining those resources unless you take them out of the miner. It doesn't count if you pipe it into a factory. And don't get me started on the pipes. The way to connect your factory together is by using pipes. However, even the fastest pipes can't fully feed a slow factory. Most automation games encourage you to actually automate. The descriptions on the minors/factories/pipes also don't really help. They are descriptions like "slow" or "fast". But, the pipe you chose doesn't really make any difference because they are all so slow, that it encourages you to just set up a production pipeline and walk away for a long time. What speed of miners or factory or pipe should you use? Who cares! You're just going to walk away and check the progress later. No need for scaling or logistics. Then there is the minigames. Two of them are really fun. They are relaxing, and forgiving. Perfect mood for this game. But the mining one is boring and too luck based. The platform one is ok (I've read other reviews from people who hate it, but it seems fine to me). But the fuel one is a nightmare. This game is ok. Just ok.
