Alongside heavy hitters such as Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress, and Oxygen Not Included, there are some other fantastic colony sims to be found on Steam, and one that might have flown under your radar is Clanfolk. The rural medieval management game set in the Scottish Highlands has a small but mighty reputation, with a 90% review score showing that it's certainly worth your attention, and developer MinMax Games has just launched a big update packed with politics, bridge-building, and beavers, which you can check out now alongside a hefty Steam sale discount if you're jumping in for the first time.
