What's Happening?
Docked, a new simulation game from Saber Interactive, is featured in Steam Next Fest, offering players a demo focused on port management. Unlike its siblings RoadCraft and SnowRunner, Docked emphasizes the operation of cranes and container movement within Port Wake. The demo includes tasks such as scaling ship-to-shore cranes and using straddle carriers to move containers. While the demo provides a taste of the game's mechanics, the full version promises more in-depth port management features.
Why It's Important?
Docked's focus on port management represents a niche within the simulation genre, appealing to players interested in logistics and heavy machinery operation. The game's unique premise could attract a dedicated audience, differentiating it from other simulation titles. By offering a demo during Steam Next Fest, Saber Interactive can gauge player interest and gather feedback to refine the game's features. Docked's success could inspire other developers to explore unconventional simulation themes, expanding the genre's diversity.
