A good game name, I've heard, is easy to say and memorable, and maybe even descriptive. Snacktorio is checking all three boxes: it's Factorio but with snacks. That is to say, it's an automation sim about perfecting robot kitchens rather than factories that must grow, propelled by a familiar and engrossing web of conveyor belts, harvesters, processors, sorters, and all manner of assembly line fun.
Snacktorio caught my eye in Steam Next Fest – partly because of its clever little name, but also because its pixel art reminded me very much of the original Risk of Rain. That cute, simple style hides a deep automation sim which is smartly divided into islands with their own unique challenges. It's a little less sandbox-y and a little more like a kitchen, fiercely judging you for punctuality, creativity, and consistency.
