Oxygen

I spent a few hours with Oxygen expecting either a space station builder or a claustrophobic horror experience. It's neither. Instead, you're managing a closed system where every action has ripple effects: grow plants for O2, but they consume water; burn fuel for heat, but it produces CO2. The core loop is solid, there's real tension in watching your reserves tick down and deciding whether to expand or consolidate. The catch is this game is deliberately unglamorous. No flashy UI, no story, no progression tiers. You're watching bar graphs and making spreadsheet decisions. If that sounds tedious, you'll bounce off fast. If it sounds meditative, you might find yourself sunk into it for longer than expected. It's a pure systems puzzle, not a narrative or action experience.
