This is a crafting game which has a fun gameplay loop and intuitive progression system -> It makes one hour melt into four without even realising the time has passed. The pixel art and game's style is lovely. Edit after 14 hours: After progressing to the final area of the game, I can see some of the critiques of other comments. I echo many of their sentiments - I think the developers just sort of 'gave up' on the concept of the game towards the end. The final production items take SO long to build and there simply aren't many efficiencies to gain to speed it up. There are bugs with even selecting items in the experience skill tree. The boss fights and equipment are pretty weak. The space area seems undercooked too. With those caveats, I still think it's a fun way to kill a few hours. Unfortunately, it just faceplants the ending due to what I presume is a developer cutting their losses..

Nova Lands is a very enjoyable automation game. It is not particularly difficult and is well suited for casual players. Some information is missing, such as how to capture creatures, although it is not too hard to figure out, and you can always look it up online. A few mechanics can be confusing at first, like buying packages in buildings placed on your island while buying blueprints in the spaceship. I only realized much later that blueprints allow you to construct as many items as you want once purchased, as long as you have the required resources. Some items are unlocked near the endgame, such as the Item Antenna, which I used mainly in one place for the red rock resource, since I needed a large amount to create a Black Hole. I barely used the Magnetoids because my automation setup was already complete by that point. I also did not bother with the best fertilizer or lubrication fluid, as they felt unnecessary and required a key resource used to craft Black Holes. At that stage, I was mostly AFK waiting for the remaining Black Holes to be produced. That said, the game overall was very good. It does not require as much micromanagement as Factorio or similar automation games, making it a great choice for casual players or those looking for a more relaxing experience. The spaceship upgrades extend the gameplay nicely, especially with features like the house, which serves more than just a decorative purpose, as well as the addition of blueprints and diamonds. I completed all the challenges and achievements, finished the main objective, and sent all resources using the rocket, including the 220 required Black Holes. The game was engaging enough to make me want to finish everything, even though none of it was particularly difficult, and a good part of my playtime was spent AFK. I definitely recommend it. It was better than I expected and only needs a bit of polishing, but nothing major. I give it 9/10.

It's a little like if Satisfactory and Forager had a baby that took 40 hours of your life away but you loved it for doing so.

+++ Simple and accessible for all +++ Fair progression rate +++ No pressure --- Repetitive soundtrack --- Multiple undocumented features --- Turns into an idle game in the later stages This one has fairly approachable mechanics, a cute art style, and a relaxing atmosphere. It`s a good way to spend some time during lulls in real life's action, what with the game automatically saving exactly where it is on exit so as to resume right where one left off. There are no setbacks, death is a gentle caress on the wrist, and most of the mechanics are about getting to the next stage of production while making the previous stages obsolete. Not a groundbreaking title, but a well-focused one, and it can serve to occupy 25 hours of one's time while waiting for the bus, the food, or whatever else.

i picked this game up to, very specifically, figure out if i like automation games or not- and even though i now know the answer to be a kind of wonky no , i still think this is a really good game- even if only for fans of the automation genre i did really enjoy my time with this game, even if i'm pretty sure i didn't play it 'correctly'. another reason i picked this one up was the fact that it's very reminiscent of Forager, a game i've played and enjoyed, and it does echo a lot of what i liked about that one. making your way up a tech tree is a lot of fun, and i really like the grind. however, towards the end game, everything just slowed down hard . i'm sure that's partly my fault, for not utilizing the automation aspect better, but i'm just not a fan of sitting around and waiting but none of that is really the fault of the game, and more an aspect of the genre. i'm sure automation fans will really enjoy this one, even if it wasn't a hit with me :]
