« How on earth did I miss this? A lovely low-poly orienteering simulator, complete with multiple maps, game modes and weather conditions. Plus it's free! A favourite already. »

« A slightly abstract and wacky arcade orienteering, secret-hunting game with landmark triangulation. This is a fun cartogame that ticks many boxes, although I'm not too sure about the comedy elements. »

« A mysterious, abstract, vehicular planetary exploration simulation. Gather resources, cargo and artifacts by scanning the terrain and navigating using audio cues. Can be played audio-only! Excellent! »

« With no controls, this digital experience is less of a game, more of a meditation on map-making. A mouse sits on the back of an eagle as it flies randomly across worlds. Map them out if you wish. »

« An adorable, cozy, cooperative multiplayer city builder. Build a communal tile-based world, helping others build theirs, or creating your own area for others to find. »

« Plans of the decks and a detailed ship's log help you navigate through the mystery of this ship and its passengers and crew. Probably my all-time favourite game. »

« Redraw borders and reshape political history. Perhaps the ultimate alternative history map simulation, this grand strategy game is vast. »

« A tile-based urban design sandbox, similar to Townscaper or the creative mode of Dorf Romantik, but with a narrower focus, lower-res graphics and a slightly more awkward interface. Still worth a play. »

« A wonderful, relaxing tile-based city / environment builder. Match edges of tiles for points and expand your world one hexagon at a time. Beautiful. »

« "Navigate purely via an incomplete map, proximity sensors, sound, and a primitive external camera." A very atmospheric, claustrophobic short horror game with enjoyable navigation mechanics. »
