peak game to this day, I'm so glad I found it years ago and have recommended it to so many people. I have so many good memories regarding it as well as it being based on a big interest of mine. If you like spore, evolution, survival and colony games I'd give this one a shot! especially if its on sale!
This was my gateway into learning about biology when I was younger, this was the game that started my exploration into genetics, and THIS was the game that sparked many of the interests I still have today. I love this game with my whole heart, it's one of the few things that actually interested me from a young age and it's the only game that's ever made a truly lasting impact on my life in such a positive way. I love Niche & its community, 1000/10 I recommend! love yall! <3
One of the most thoughtfully designed genetics games I've seen. The island travel mechanic solves population control in such a nice way that I bet most people who play don't even notice that was a hard game design problem. It's not super realistic, mainly in having single-gene controls for very complex traits like gills or spikes, but the departures from reality seem deliberately chosen to make the experience more enjoyable. The average person who plays this is still going to learn a lot from it. There's even an X-linked gene. I also like that the game saves on exit automatically, so that don't have to remember to click "Save" all the time. So nice to have that taken care of. The rest of the game has similarly good attention to detail. The survival aspect is interesting and cohesive, but maybe a bit on the easy side. Or perhaps I got distracted with the genes and didn't travel the islands as fast as intended. There's still more of the game I haven't reached, so I'll see. This game had a lot of love poured into its creation, and it shows.
This was the first ever game I bought on Steam when I was 14. I love this game so much, I waited for it to come out when I saw my favorite youtubers playing it early access and it held me through COVID, I am 20 now and I still play this game all the time, I will always come back to it.
Well...I feel I don't really need to say much about my knowledge on this game with the ungodly amount of hours I've spent on it. So now that my years of hyperfixation has washed away I feel I can finally give a fair and non-biased review on this game. So this game is all about micro-managing this ragtag group of creatures (called nichelings) in which they have to "evolve" to survive the environment they're currently living in. Sounds interesting in concept but there's just not enough genetics, traits. biomes, and challenges that actually push you to the limit in which your forced to become a specialized species. Meaning I could have a whole ass platypus living in a snowy biome if I so wished, doesn't make sense right? Welcome to Niche. Genuinely sometimes I feel this is a game that could have had SO MUCH MORE content, like genuinely. More creatures that can randomly spawn, more trees, different grass. Maybe miscarriages due to certain factors when it comes to loss of food or events, nichelings having certain traits or personalities (ie, gluttonous making them eat more food than a normal nicheling, energetic making them have more energy than a normal nicheling, something that's not defined just by physical traits practically). More weather too, like thunderstorms or something. Various more patterns as well but that's just me being greedy. Anyway you get the point, this game just didn't reach its maximum potential before the devs decided no more updates to base game content. It obviously has its merits for me to play this long, which is that the content it DOES have is good- You can guide the genetics your nichelings will acquire by making them live in certain conditions to unlock said genes, making them all unique and have different strengths. Some are strong, some good at collecting, some good at swimming, truly a wide array of possibilities. The generations system is also very good (you have a family tree where you can trace where certain traits came from), the genetics aspect of the game is also solid, and everything marketed is truly present and enjoyable but afrer a while it just gets...repetitive and boring. Nothing is new, nothing is a challenge unless I deliberately handicap myself to do so. It's a good time passer game overall, I just wish this game reached the heights of greatness that I know it could have achieved. People who are neurodivergent will definitely enjoy (I am living proof). 10/10 game, wish they'd just add more content, hell I'd even take fantasy creature traits/genetics at this point
