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?

I feel like I should recommend Dwarf Fortress but I also feel like I should NOT recommend Dwarf Fortress.
Look, I’ll just leave Dwarf Fortress here in the corner, peering into the room and the rest of us can try to ignore it. But it’s there.
Dwarf Fortress isn’t a colony sim game, though
It’s a tavern corpse clean up sim.
Pffft! Look at this dude who assigned a tavern keeper to the inn while still allowing non dwarves entrance to it. Everybody knows that those knife-ears and humies can’t handle nutritious dwarven wine. They get drunk and break shit. Best just to not have them in the fortress at all.
The Steam edition feels a lot more recommendable, though.
I like the idea of DF, but I’m leaning more towards Songs of Syx instead. It’s not on sale so I’m in no hurry but it’s on my shortlist
Oxygen Not Included :)
Rimworld with mods can basically turn in whatever game you want. There is no limit
Against the Storm, just recently started playing this and it’s fun. Currently $19.49 on the steam sale.
Endzone - A World Apart, has a very post apocalyptic feel. Currently $7.49 on the steam sale.
SimAnt!!! Although a different kind of colony :p
Dwarf Fortress is great once you get past the steep learning curve.

All the other slim shadys are just imitating.
Dwarf Fortress.
Rimworld is also great, but I like building in 3D.
There are Z-level mods out there for Rimworld, if that one missing dimension is the only thing keeping you away.
It’s not keeping me away, I play both games. I just enjoy the building and world generation a lot more in Dwarf Fortress, and Rimworld for in-game pawn shenanigans
