Jan. 2026

A little underwater colony builder (which theme is really rare), got potential, pity it didn't got exploited.

Dec. 2025

This is a very good game. Not a great game, but a definite 7/10! If you can get it on sale, do it! The soundtrack is also good!

Sept. 2025

I really enjoyed playing it, got all achievements in 2 playthroughs. It was cool to see all the underwater buildings and make it all work. Would recommend.

June 2025

Late game pacing feels a bit off, but it didn't really detract from the enjoyment.

March 2025

I'm giving it a "Yes" because it's a game and it works, but with the condition that you really have to like city builders to see this game through to the end. This game does not have staying power / replay-ability, which you can infer from negative reviews (they're not lying). I'm not a city builder fan but had the urge to try one and was jumping between Skylines, various Anno titles, and decided on this. I didn't finish this game; I made it half-way through the Atlantis project and decided to watch a YouTube for the ending and I'm glad I did, because the ending certainly wasn't worth another 12 hours of play. The biggest flaw is that you've almost researched everything by mid-game and have seen all it has to offer. Yes, there were things left in my research tree to unlock, but they were just iterations of previous technologies that add burden to your colony instead of aid. Every time you unlock and build something, it's just to fulfill another material demand that requires you to build more of the same in an ever-increasing tree of math without any progression payoff. In survival games you deal with tedium until you unlock advanced stuff that makes your life easier and transitions more of your time spent on manually collecting to exploring / fighting. In action games, you find new gear or unlock new abilities / gear that make the game more fun. Frostpunk you unlock robots to automate areas that are far from base which helps with resources and reduces the amount time micro-managing sick people. In this game, it's your people want tier 1 resources, now they want tier 2, now they want tier 3 and you're going to provide them all the same exact way you did at the start of the game with tier 1. Everything worked except one bug when I joined two bases together and I would have low power when the UI stated I had a surplus anywhere from 0 to 400 (I probably had a surplus of around 400 when I joined them).
