Just over one year since it launched into early access, gorgeous city builder Of Life and Land has just hit its full 1.0 release. Its blocky aesthetics call Minecraft to mind, yet this surprisingly deep strategy game uses an involved simulation that demands careful management of your citizens, resources, and facilities to succeed. The result is at once as pretty and presentable as the likes of Against the Storm, yet with a systemic richness that will tickle the brains of anyone who enjoys games like Rimworld or Oxygen Not Included, and you can get it cheap to celebrate it stepping out of early access.
