Very fun game where you have to control an ecosystem to get certain animals and plants to spawn. It's a bit difficult at first but you get used to it after a while. I prefer to play in its free play mode for a calming expericence since there is less I have to worry about.

Absolutely LOVE this game, although the controls can be a little funky. If you have a playstation or a switch, i'd recommend getting it on that device instead.

Note: This game crashes quite a lot for me, so I'd recommend saving your file often. Very fun game, took me a while to find out that the temperature is defined by the amount of landmass you have, not much so your altitudes, though. Some of the mechanics are pretty confusing, same as the controls - but, either way, I enjoy this game for it's simple style and sandbox-feel. I've also played this game on a PS4, and it's a much better experience on it. The controls were faster to get a grasp on, since they were well-integrated for the controller, not to mention the performance, which was consistently excellent, haven't crashed a single time playing it on PS4. Overall, playing this game on a console was a much better experience than on PC, still fun either way, though.
