TL;DR: Recommend, BUT, really should come with an early access flag. Still buggy, but the developer is still very much actively working on it. Absolutely addicted. Really enjoyable once you begin to understand how everything works, is linked, and reacts to other systems. Lots of tutorials out there that do a great job of explaining the concepts. You WILL have to invest a large amount of time to learn (probably 12 hours minimum in YouTube tutorial videos; If you are looking for a good concepts/tutorials videos check out Leonidas Ares), but it's worth it. With my PC I'm running very high settings and have no problems with stability. I have had more than a few game breaking bugs, mostly around reactor fuel replacement and control rod replacement. Some people have issues with outside of the plant, some people have trouble saving and/or loading saves. A few very lucky people seem to have no problems whatsoever. That being said, the developer is super active and updates are coming out all the time. Honestly I like this dev enough that I bought the generator set DLC just to throw a few extra bucks their way. I'll never use it, but if it helps them develop, I'm in. They seem to be very active in the community and, as previously mentioned, are always putting out new patches.

This game is an absolute joy. Coming from a guy that works as an operator at a real powerplant, this game checks every mark. If you dont have any experience with running or controlling powerplants, either in game or IRL. There is a bit of a learning curve. But let me tell you, its so worth it. Rating U235/Th231!

Basically, 300 trillion buttons and switches, 1 person, no coffee to save your soul. Stuff dies and combusts at random, reactor hates you, everything hates you. One of the best reactor game I have ever played in my time on this timelin- actually, one of the best reactor games I have played in any timeline. EXTREMEY recommend! Is it chaos? Yes. Do I love it with all my heart? Yes. Give them your money and play this game. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have 39 alarms to tend to- *explosion*

I bought this game a while ago and it sat in my library and gathered dust. I finally decided to give it a go and man was I not prepared for what I was in for. Its a very detailed reactor management sim. There is very little documentation out there for this game, so you have to read the provided paperwork from top to bottom and this only gives you an idea, alot of the game you have to figure out for yourself through trail and error. Once you start figuring it out it is very very rewarding and super fun. The power of the atom demands respect
