Take the city building and automation aspects of Satisfactory and Factorio, then combine them with the open-world exploration and boss battles of survival games like Valheim and Once Human, and wrap it all in a delightfully cozy package, and you have Omega Crafter. Launching into Steam Early Access in March 2024, the open-world sandbox game blends survival crafting and city building with a cast of programmable Gummi companions, and it just got even beefier with the launch of a new samurai-themed update.
