Autonauts

  • Automation
  • Programming
  • Relaxing

You land on an empty planet with sticks and stones and teach robots to work: press record, do the task and they repeat it on a loop. They end up chopping, farming, cooking and building while you look after colonists grown from a seed.

Why play it now

When you fancy automating without any stress: there are no enemies or danger, just goals that unlock technology.

Who it's for

For anyone taking their first steps in programming: it won the TIGA award for best educational game.

When not to pick it

If you're after tension: with no enemies or pressure, Gamereactor's review finds it a bit stale at times.
