    While there are niggles to the experience, from relatively frequent frame rate drops at the start of each cycle and the AI occasionally getting confused to the game outright crashing (which is naturally quite frustrating), these issues seem like the aftermath of Early Access. With the game having a decent swell of community support and the developers just as keen to keep improving, Oxygen Not Included appears to be going onwards and upwards – or whatever direction you fancy, really.

    Oxygen Not Included is a challening, complex survival building game for creative tinkerers and fans of automatisation.

    A time sink that will keep you hooked right up until your last Duplicant.

    Funny, clever, and extremely complex mix of management simulator and survival game that manages to make abject failure almost as entertaining as success.

    Most of all, the simulated personalities, habits and appearances of the dupes themselves feel like complete wasted effort.

    A bonkers survival sim where watching things fall apart is half the fun.
