Similar to forager.. sorta. The late game is kinda slow so be prepared for that. Only can recommend on sale.

Plays like a much more polished Forager with many improvements. Automation, progression, and quality of life are great. Combat is pretty dull but takes less than 5% of gameplay

I have never posted a review of a game before, even for those I loved or hated, but for this game it seemed absolutely necessary. This game is ridiculously fun and I am completely blown away by the wonderful QOL choices the developer has made. I'm a huge fan of resource management and automation type games. I loved Forager and Don't Starve and I get vibes of both in this game. But a lot of games in these genres have mechanics that can feel grindy or cumbersome, and Nova Lands seems to have a remedy for all of them. The pacing is superb and there are very few bottlenecks where it feels like you aren't making progress. The relic progression for making mechanics even more user friendly feels very rewarding. There are many elements of the game that are unlocked gradually and every time it is super exciting to work in the new aspect of gameplay. Also, for an automation sim, they have done a phenomenal job of not making you feel locked in to your original setup, and rebuilding/rearranging your layout to be more efficient always feels very doable. Overall, I cannot recommend this game enough as it is so very fun and satisfying to play.

This is what Forager wanted to be, but couldn't get there. Very good short-ish automation game. If you want to play something like Factorio, but don't want to be constantly defending against bugs and you don't want your run to last over 150 hours, then this game is for you.

Nova Lands is good. I do have some minor gripes, though. Good: - Solid fundamental gameplay - Solid automation mechanics with some interesting novelty in there, especially moving resources between islands. - Pretty good progression in the late game -- the final tier(s) of buildings require overhauling your factory and really maximizing your space, which I consider a good challenge. Not so good: - Skill tree and research tree are boring. - Replayability is surprisingly *low* for a game like this. Little player choice in gameplay systems (e.g. island unlock order, research order, options for making Kredits, etc.) means everything will tend to feel the same. - Music was really pretty annoying. Obviously, this is personal opinion, but I ended up turning it off completely after a few hours. - The price seems a tad high, compared to other games in the genre, and considering its level of polish. I'd recommend lowering the base price by $5. More thoughts: Many people rightly compare this to Forager. Nova Lands clearly adopts some of the same core setup and gameplay. For my part, I played a lot of Forager, including speed runs, and stopped before the drama with that game started unfolding. In my opinion Nova Lands doesn't do much that's *better* than that "golden era" of Forager. It does do a few things *worse*, though. In particular, Forager's skill tree and experience gain were very impactful to how the game played out. Players had more meaningful choices to make. Nova's skill tree is filled with boring stuff like "15% less oxygen used", and some of the options such as "big rocks start to appear" are (as far as I can tell) literally unnecessary until the late game so they're just a trap for newer players. All that said, the game *is* fundamentally fun, and despite all my criticisms the core is good enough to be a recommend (preferably at a slightly lower price).
