Last Oasis
Donkey Crew · Donkey Crew / Snail Games USA
The nomadic survival MMO of giant wind-powered walking machines — a brilliant premise that returned to seasonal development with Season 6 in March 2026, though the cadence has since slowed: the last shipped patch was Chapter 2 in May, and a Chapter 3 publicly targeted for July had not arrived by late August.
Worth playing in 2026?
Worth a look, with caveatsLast Oasis in 2026 scores 59/100 on the overall lens — updates are slow, and reviews aggregate to 62/100. Its crafting and economy depth is about as good as the genre offers. It's Early Access: what's there is promising, but you're buying a work in progress.

Notes & links
Steam Early Access March 2020; a disastrous launch week forced a temporary shutdown with refunds. Development resumed in earnest in 2026: Season 6 in March and Chapter 2 with a full wipe in May. A July 4, 2026 dev update planned Chapter 3 and a Nitrado GameFabric server migration for July; as of 2026-08-21 neither had shipped and there had been no further public update. Servers remain live and the game is still Early Access on Steam and Xbox.
