Dyson Sphere Program is one of those games where you build a giant factory and it's very good, maybe the best in the genre.

I wish it had a little bit more thought to the logistics, having logistics stations that just instantly solve any consideration for taking items into factories is kind of a step down from the train systems in Factorio and Satisfactory. Otherwise, it's way ahead of every other game in the genre in terms of the ergonomics of building. Being able to instantly select and place a manifold of assemblers with the recipe built in is very nice. Haven't had the chance to play with the new combat system much tho, tried playing with mods a couple weeks after the update and performance really tanked.

There is an action game slated for release this year where you play as the monkey king character from Chinese mythology but I learnt the studio behind it got outed for having a capital-G Gamer level misogynistic culture.

That's so disappointing, I was looking forward to that one.

Amazing Cultivation Simulator is Wuxia Rimworld. Make your own Goku and give him an artifact made from dragon feces that can slay gods.

Only recommended if you're willing to watch a few hours of guides, the game is very unforgiving and has some mechanics that are strange to western audiences, like Feng Shui. If you get past the initial learning curve, it's got a ton of progression with making your guys' numbers bigger and bigger which is very fun IMO.

This is a free 3D visualizer and simulator of the Dongfeng-41 (DF-41) road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missile. The DF-41 launcher itself is fully drive-able with mechanics to launch the nuclear warhead in-game.

xi-plz The Game

I've been playing and really enjoying Afterimage lately, which is made by a Shanghai dev I think. If you like metroidvanias it's worth checking out.

~~Sword and Fairy seems like an interesting RPG series, but I haven't played them yet~~ nvm, not cool China

I've been trying to find a game that I saw in a PLAY magazine or something in 2003/4/5/6 for the longest time, always thinking that it had the words Fable or Fairy in its title somewhere. This series looks so much like it, but still, it is not.
