Games Like Knights and Merchants (2026)

Shared: Production Chains, Base Building

Ninety-seven percent positive across 270,000 Steam reviews after five years in early access - Satisfactory 1.0 is the factory-builder that converts sceptics and destroys weekends in equal measure.

Shared: Base Building

A space sandbox where you mine asteroids, build capital ships, and carve out bases on alien worlds, sprawling, rough-edged, and surprisingly deep.

Shared: Base Building

Surviving alone was already brutal - surviving with friends who make catastrophic decisions is another beast entirely. A deep, unforgiving co-op survival game that rewards patience, preparation, and someone on the team who knows what a Science Machine actually does.

Shared: Base Building

Shared: Supply Chain Management
