Well, a few looks at newer games this week.
This is a cute indie (one-dev) game which involves a lot of gathering resources, crafting, survival, and expanding while doing quests, etc. Just really nice overall, but I am afraid that the price might be a little high. The game does have idling aspects as well, but you can choose to actively engage in every part, if you can keep up.

This is an incredible game, but I feel it’s going to be one that either you love it, or you hate it. It’s minimalist, top-down shooter/RPG, with a heavy emphasis on story. There are fast parts and slower parts. There are resource gathering and crafting parts too. You have to worry about hunger and thirst, and I usually don’t like to do that myself. But I am completely fascinated by this black, white, and red only game. I can’t wait to see more. (This is also a single-dev project.)

This is another single-dev project, and the guy has managed to condense such an amazing looking launch build of the game game + engine into 27 MB, yes, you read that correctly. I have seen so much more space wasted for something that looks a whole lot worse. The only thing is that this game currently is only about 20% done and lasts a little over an hour. But the dev projects that the whole thing will be done within 3 months. He says that the most time-consuming thing for him was creating his game engine. Now that’s done, he will be able to put the rest of the game together rather quickly.
