This game is a really fun game. Its not a easy game to at all but i don't thing its overly hard. you just need to learn a lot from your mistakes and such. Though its really rewarding when you learn how to do things and start to understand everything and how it works. Exploring is a big thing in the game so don't be scared to go out and explore. My only issue the moment feels a bit weird is all. so anyone complain that the game does not hold your hand. sorry but games should never hold your hand fully. your a smart adult you will figure it out over time.

This game is well thought out. It was hard to understand how the mechanics worked in the beginning of the game as I died several times, but after watching some game play on YouTube and putting those ideas into practise I quite enjoy playing the game. It takes a lot of thought into how you build and where you build. I found out the hard way that you should raise all structures as the ground is not even and can become a problem to put buildings down. I had to break buildings down well into the game but turned out better for my layout of buildings. Crafting and gathering resources can become a chore but I found the further I travelled the better the resources. Just watch your battery level on the Rover, my mistake I ran out of juice 3400m from my base, lucky I had solar panels and other bits so I could charge the battery but had to sit for most the day in game to charge it, but it was fun and lesson learned. I highly recommend this game to anyone who has lots of time on their hands.

Izbenn did already a great review where he told, how great this game is ... except for one gamebreaking element. So I'm refering to his report before giving additional information to his critics: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198002569142/recommended/758690/ Sadly, he didn't allow comments. When Izbenn did his review, devs already announced the rebalancing of the meteor showers to solve these mentioned problems. Devs listen to the community especially if you give them some constructive feedback with which they can work with. They already announced changes of the meteor showers for the next update which will make them a lot easier and finally playable whitout using exploits. That's why I recommend this game. Izbenn's only critic will be gone soon. Just keep an eye open and check out the discussions on the forum to stay up to date. https://steamcommunity.com/app/758690/discussions/0/4848777893530006527/?ctp=6#c598512477964122703 Update @ 22.12.2024: I happend to have my own meteor storm to test my defenses with the new mechanics, you can read the details here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/758690/discussions/0/4848777893530006527/?ctp=7#c600765465840648644 Izbenns complain is finally gone ...

This game was pretty good, but I feel like the artificial constraints of not having a database of designs to build everything is a problem. So that is to say the research would not really be needed in the way its implemented if one had a realistic database of stls or other design files. It would be more enjoyable if I could build everything, but most of the progression was locked away in the need to build specific fabrication machines and the research could be into how to use them. At the point I got to in the sandbox game I really just needed to make a board fabrication ... bench or what ever. Instead of being able to make boards I had to make increasing long boring journeys further and further from my base. IF I just had to build a series of new machines to make them, I'd rather do that. Over all despite this it passes the more value then a theatre movie ratio for cost to entertainment. I played for more then 20 hours for about the cost of a 2 hour movie at the theatre. So that's good :)

It was frustrating at first and I almost quit a couple of times. I kept at it, restarted at least a half dozen times, and learned the different systems. Now it makes much more sense and I'm enjoying the game. I started on the middle tier of difficulty. The tutorials did not help much in the very early game in sandbox mode and some things are not explained at all. With the help of the Wiki and YouTube I got things figured out. I did try the campaign mode but only made it to the "Escape the ..." something because I was more interested in the sandbox mode. Maybe there where more tutorials there. The in game Knowledge Base and item descriptions could use some work. At the time of writing, There is a big update coming and I'm excited about it. The update seems to address some of the QoL issues that I was having. I feel the devs will get things dialed in and seem to be paying attention to what works and what doesn't. So I believe more updates are coming. Occupy Mars is not easy and grinding abandon bases can get a little grindy (lol) at first. But once you stabilize yourself with Shelter, Power/Water/O2, and food, it becomes more interesting as you start to make more complex systems. I'm starting to venture out further now and explore. I still have not found the Rover Blueprint so that's what currently motivates me. It runs great on my system at max settings (i7, 32g Ram, 8g 4060TI) though there are occasional FPS drops when entering a new area. The game provides lots of game play settings and video settings to mess with to optimize your experience. It is worth every penny and I do recommend the game if your looking for a survival game.
