This game is really unique and early game is pretty good...but man, does it have some GLARING issues. at $30? ehhh probably not, but when on sale? absolutely. I'll keep it short, the game suffers from a sub-par UI. in late game you're really going to struggle to find specific builds among your web of cities. and god forbid if you use the "Landers" function it introduces you to in the start of the game, You'll think your resources are just fine and find out your main base is starving because it lumps ALL resources together with no way to permanently break them out by "city". secondly, the game fails to provide you with information early enough to save yourself an hour or more of gameplay. Example: you focus on science early instead of rushing the terraforming, this allows you to unlock the "Ice meteor" project. you complete it before you have fully raised the temperature of the planet. Once you have raised the temperature, the water now rises far above where it would have previously, potentially flooding a portion of your base depending on how you expanded. Last but not least, the AI, oh god the AI. having your builders double as the transporters was a choice. I would highly recommend you have your worker hubs on a 1:3, or at least a 1:4 ratio of hubs to buildings, otherwise in late game moving resources around will be a pain. Late game tip: Hyperlanes can be saturated like a road, don't hesitate to create hyperlane "highways" of multiple hyperlanes running in tandem to locations. Don't rely on just 1 connection from place to place.

11.1 hours, 0/55 achievements, because I've been min/maxxing what for other players is the first 10 minutes for 3 hours, then fell asleep. 10/10 at least the beginning, it's all I've seen.

I’ve put over 125 hours into Per Aspera, and it’s one of those rare games I keep coming back to. What really stands out is how unique it feels compared to other city-builders. Managing the transformation of Mars while balancing resources, expansion, and long-term planning keeps every playthrough engaging. There’s always something new to learn, optimize, or try differently, which gives it a ton of replayability. It’s also a fantastic “time killer” in the best way—easy to get into, but deep enough that you can lose hours without realizing it. If you enjoy niche strategy or simulation games, this one absolutely hits the mark. Overall, I’m very happy with my purchase and will continue to support the developers. Highly recommended for anyone looking for something a little different in the genre.

Very beautiful simulation of terraforming Mars. Probably the most "realistic" one on the market at the moment. It looks satisfying to watch water levels rise and flora spread. Surely not for players that prefer fast gameplay, because the terraforming process ist slow. But for me that is a part of the beauty, since the process can be seen into small details. (I still mostly play on 16x) Dear devs, please add a function to jump to and/or cycle through mines, that have empied their deposit or better yet, every building. It's a pain to find obsolete buildings. That is literally the only thing bothering me - next to the building limit, but I hear that sadly is hard coded (even with mods).

First off, the UI and sound design are impeccable. The vibes and music, the sounds and visual feedback given by the game are a reward for continued play. On multiple occasions I'd wind up not checking my phone or the clock for 3 hours and wind up playing into the wee hours. My main prior terraforming game experience was with Surviving Mars, which is a much simpler game that only later added via DLC several elements inherent to the base of Per Aspera. I got the main Per Aspera bundle so didn't have to deal with any glitches from the original DLC rollout. The rising seas and usage of them adds a fun challenge and opportunity to the late game. People who are finding it too simple or easy likely should max the difficulty so that logistics are more strained and require more focus. I've also completed each possible ending, enjoying the game so much that I went back-to-back in playthroughs immediately after buying to get it all done. I do wish we could do more micromanagement of things like emergent ecosystems and that there was additional CO2 balancing alongside oxygen in the later game stages, but those are niche complaints. The main thing I'd like to see is a way to continue to other planets that each present additional challenges, with the ability to use your chosen Martian path to influence your game settings/goals/abilities. That might be worth a large DLC or make more sense as a sequel. So overall I'm very satisfied with the purchase and think it worthwhile, especially if bought on sale.
