Terra Nil
Most city-builder or strategy games ask you to create big urban cities or task you with fighting a destructive war. That’s not the case with Terra Nil. Instead, you have to clean up the Earth after humanity screwed it all up. It’s a unique concept that hooked me hard.
Not only is this satisfying as hell, but it also feels hopeful. Watching a huge field of green trees pop up out of a dead wasteland—after mixing the right amount of water, dirt, ash, and sun—always made me feel good. It also made me hope that one day, probably far from now, humanity will be able to clean up the planet as well as I have in Terra Nil. Also, I hope they are better at creating beaches than I am in this game. — Zack Zweizen
