Caravaner 2 is a really cool “caravan sim” game that reminded me of playing sunless seas.l, except instead of a sea captain you are a trader with a donkey and a cart full of green beans, water, gasoline, scrap and wool.

I really loved the atmosphere of being a trader in a post apocalyptic setting, trying to find the best routes and fighting off raiders. The story content is fun too with lots of fallout vibes and the setting is fun with lots of cool villages and factions. The animals trade goods and equipment you can buy is solid, really allowing you to customize your crew to fulfill whatever trading strategy you prefer.

After the first area though I got kind of burnt out and I wish there was a better way to find out prices in other settlements like through rumours instead of tracking from place to place and recording the prices. Though I did not finish the story of the game my time playing was well worth it and I am sure I will return to the wastes with my donkey ready to make a deal with a tribe of jolly green giant worshipers.
