at number 10, Osiris: New Dawn

Now with these top 10 videos. I like to keep the top 10 slot

as kind of a wild card slot and I like to throw in something that's either

slightly different or a little bit off the wall or that's really big, bold and ambitious and this game fits into the latter category

This is an ambitious game

And while base building is one of the central themes of the game there is so, so much more

the Year is

2078 and the Earth resources have been depleted and mankind has gone off with the Osiris

Expedition in search of another planet to screw up.

You're just getting comfortable on your nice

shiny space station studying potentially really nice habitable planets to land on, when your space station

malfunctions forcing you into an emergency landing on the hostile, nasty, horrible planet immediately below

After crash landing on the surface of Proteus 2 your first job's going to be to explore your surroundings and gather resources and materials.

Now you can start building your face

You start off with a central habitat.

Then you can expand the structures by adding modular units, you can grow food you can build living quarters,

manufacturing labs and you can also build and upgrade your equipment and carry out research which will allow to build Rovers,

Hovercraft and even Spacecraft which will allow you to explore the surrounding planets and moons

Now I said this was an ambitious game, and it's not just a scale of the game that's ambitious.

They've taken the open-world build, craft survive genre and they've mixed in some RPG mechanics.

You can choose to play different classes. You can choose different skills, different attributes

You can play online or offline, you can play single-Player or multiplayer?

you can play in a private universe or in a public universe and

the best for me you can play in first-person or you can play in third-person.

All sounds great doesn't it but before you rush off and buy into the early access on Steam

Just be aware that whilst the early access went well at first

recent Patches have made the game a bit of a grind and

also really difficult especially in the early game to the point where it's taken some of the fun out of it now.

But this is still very early access. All of this may change and the game may get back to what it was.

So add it to you watch list

This is our colony our home

I never thought would come this far

This is not how it started

When the teams came humanity was not prepared

I'm one of the lucky ones. I'm one of the survivors

The apocalypse have begun, but we chose to resist

to rebuild in the shadow of Chaos

We started with a small camp collecting. What little we could we explored a devastated world and even

We had to scavenge

Vital resources

We re-learned forgotten trades

Crafted tools, we constructed buildings

built a economy, forged a new society

Where science failed us we turned to the occult, performing rituals to harness the power the dark arts for our own ends.

Each day we survive as a triumph

every death another tragedy

the gates of hell have been unleashed

But judgment has not yet been passed on us

To survive is to prevail

Will you survived judgment day? Judgment available now on steam

At number 8 its Planet Nomads. Now this game has huge potential

it's currently in early access and

the reviews are mixed and the negative reviews seem to fall into two categories. Either its complaints about the lack of endgame, well

the games in early access, It's not finished yet! Or complaints about bugs and glitches

Yeah it's in early access. It's not finished yet! But

what everybody seems to agree on even the negative reviews is that the game is

beautiful and not just beautiful to look at but the music is great and very atmospheric gets you really immersed in the game

And when you combine that with the building the building features of the game are very, very good

You can build some awesome structures you could build some incredible vehicles

You can even build things like monorails, so I would say this is a game

you should definitely have on your watch list. Keep a close eye on it because this could turn out to be really good

It's out on full release sometime in 2018

What do you get if you take a Victorian steampunk theme?

throwing a big dollop of colony management

add some genuinely engaging gameplay

Render the whole thing in Stunning 4K graphics

And finally load it up with more zombies than you can possibly imagine

you get they are billions and

This isn't some mindless tower defense game. This has got colony management

It's got resource gathering you've got to build all kinds of buildings. You can upgrade the walls and the zombies are intelligent

They smell they listen if you make a noise

They'll come to it if you kill some of them practice of resource deposit 100 of them will come to investigate

But I don't have to tell you about all that just look at it

at number 6 its Mayor

Now to say the Jury's out on this game is an understatement and let me explain why

The surface of the Planet is full of Hostile animals

Which forces you to build mainly underground to ensure the survival of your colonists?

Maya was inspired by games like Dungeon Keeper and

dwarf Fortress and just like those games the mechanics of the game are

Extremely deep and complex the game has been developed by a very small team with only one coder and that coder is

Simon roth who used to be with mode 7 who developed games like frozen synapse

the procedurally generated maps are huge being 2 kilometers wide long and deep and

Generally speaking the systems and mechanics in the game are really good

The fluid Dynamics of things like Larvae and water are particularly impressive

So what's the problem, then well this games been in early access since December 2013?

Yeah, it's been in it's been in early access for three and a half years

And apparently according to the developer. They put it into early access to early like about six months too early

And that has delayed the game they estimate by something like eighteen months, so this going should have been out 18 months ago

and the game has been plagued by

Our performance issues and bugs

Now that doesn't sound very encouraging, but you've got to remember that the developers haven't abandoned it they stuck this out

And they've stuck with it for the last three and a half years and they have been fixing the bugs and they have been improving

The game and optimising and doing all of those things

The question is in the next few months before release

Can the developers finish the polishing if they can this is going to be a really good game?

But if they can't then it could be a real disaster, so this one should have been on your watchlist

Definitely, but Buyer Beware make sure that the games been polished before you buy this

At number five it's Evil genius - now

I wish that this was a trailer for Hebrew genius - it's not it's trailer for Evil genius online

And that's because it only literally just been announced a couple of days ago that there's kind of they're going to do a sequel

And I'm sure that's going to make a lot of people happy because it is a very popular game although

And it was criticized at the time for having too much micromanagement, and it was a little bit buggy

But I've got to say I hold out huge hope for this game because rebellion the developers they

Develop it themselves. They Publish it themselves

they don't have anybody telling them what to do so as long as they learn the lessons from the first game and

Keep the humor that made the first game so good

This could be something very very special

So this is once after you watch list your Christmas list you wish there's every list you can think of because it's Gonna be awesome

Please please be awesome

There can't be many of you out there who don't know about Factorio, but for the very few who don't

Factorial is a game in which you build and maintain

Factories you mind resources you've researched technologies you build your infrastructure you also make your production

And you use it all to kill the local indigenous life forms

And it's really difficult to find anything negative to say about this game. It basically is the best

logistical management simulator ever

You can play single-Player you can play cooperative multiplayer?

It has great modding support and a big modding communities a lot of great mods out there

And it comes with a built in map editor

And it only costs 15 pounds which I find at staggering

So it's this simple if you don't have it buy it

But don't blame me when you get fired from work because you keep turning up late because you've been up all night

saying

Just just five minutes longer. I just want to do this. I just five minutes longer. I just want to optimize that

Yeah, it's extremely addictive and you will lose a lot of slope

You've been warned oh

Yeah, and it's even got an awesome trailer

the goal

Or should I say the dream

is to become

a self-sufficient new world Far away from out

We know it's not going to be easy

but achieving dreams never is

In such an unforgiving environment

The challenges will be many

But as humanity is described we need to succeed

This is why?

only the best most talented people have been selected to this mission the

Picture, I was going to look when it's finished

No

maybe there's one on the box I

Don't think there is a box

Now this is going to surprise some people

oxygen not included is that number two and I bet a lot of you thought this was going to be the number one and

I tell you what I

About it. I applied so much oxygen not included it's not true. I've already done three let's play series

The game is a space colony simulation game

We manage colonists you dig you build and maintain a Subterranean?

asteroid Base and

You need to look after them. You need to supply all of their needs

water warm food

Oxygen but that's just to keep them alive keeping them. Happy is a whole other ball game

the Game is

Awesome. It is truly awesome, and I could easily have made it my number one pick the only reason I didn't is because

We haven't really seen an end game to this game yet

And without an end game as much fun as it is and as much replayability as there is

It's not the complete package

But the game is healed very early and early access and every update that comes out it just gets better

So this one I can recommend wholeheartedly

Buy it you won't regret it

And at number one yeah it had to be rimworld

Now not only is this my number one pick for upcoming face builder, but it's actually my number one favorite of all time

I've got over 560 hours played and three let's play series to my gnome

Now for anybody that doesn't know rim. World is a Sci-Fi colony sim driven by an intelligent Ai

Storyteller now that's according to the developer time and sylvester

personally I think it's driven by an

Infuriating sadistic lunatic of a storyteller, but that's the thing about Rim world, it's challenging

It's sometimes infuriating

It's rewarding and it's tons of fun often all at the same time

You have to manage your colonists move their needs you have to give them medical care

You're engaging small team tactical gunplay you build structures weapons

clothing from metal wood stone or

futuristic materials you fight pirate Raiders hostile tribes

Rampaging animals joy and cuddling insects and ancient killing machines you can tame and train Q pets

Productive fire animals deadly attack beast and you can't let's have complex relationships with family members

Lovers spouses you can build colonies in the desert the jungle Tundra forests

outdoor compounds underground bases what else can I say this game is a huge bowl of

Awesome sauce with a massive side order of cool beans

And it's yet another game like war fortress like prison our depth of proof that you don't need fancy

Graphics to be a great game you just need good

Intelligent engaging challenging gameplay, and that's it for my top 10 base building games. I hope you enjoyed it

I'll catch for the next one peace out
