Remarkably very deep and somewhat complex game. Updates tend to be a bit long in between due to the small size of the development studio, but they are high quality updates that add good content. Definitely a buy. EDIT: Most of the negative comments I see are do to players lack of understanding the game mechanics, and STOP with the UI complaints as that is the #1 indicator a player doesn't understand the mechanics. Too many players expect a game to play itself and tell them everything but luckily there are games like this one, that make you use your own brain to figure things out, and thus brings rewards in doing so.

so, this game has a TON of potential. great graphics, great concept, and a decent implementation. but the tutorial is really holding back its potential, but it is fun once you get the hang of things. well, first off... you might want to explain what an interlocutor is, as a game concept. it's not everyday language for most people. for a second... there's a concept called tell-show-do I would strongly encourage reading up on it. you have a LOT of potential here, but im thinking this is the first time perhaps that you've done a game like this yourself, and you're perhaps a bit too familiar with the mechanics to look at it as a first time user.

Wow I can't believe this game has been around since 2022. i stumbled across it searching for something else. it's easily my favorite now. it does have a learning curve but once you get the basics it's a great game. Tip don't think too small it takes a lot of people to run stuff well. Most impressive was i found a problem and almost rage quit when my not sick, not old colonists just died. sent the save and description of what happened in game to the developer and a patch rolled out the next day. i was expecting a "well you have mods from the workshop so you're up a creak".

It is an Awesome game. Very detailed, but once you get the hang of it its great. As an Early Access Game, it does need a proper tutorial on the mechanics. But this game is a hidden gem. If the game Surviving Mars (another awesome game) is Lego, this one is the same genre but comparable to Mechano. A more serious and detailed game compared to Surviving Mars.

Solargene is one of those rare games that feels alive. Every system, every colony, every decision you make feels grounded in realism — from the way resources flow to how your colonists interact and survive. The level of thought that went into its design is unbelievable. What truly sets Solargene apart is the freedom. You can build, explore, manage, automate, or simply experiment, and the game rewards you for all of it. There’s no single “right way” to play — just endless possibilities waiting to be discovered. Each playthrough feels completely unique. The varied choices you make ripple through the world in ways that make every session different. The constant updates and subtle tweaks from the developers keep the experience fresh and evolving. No two colonies, missions, or timelines ever feel the same. If you love detailed management, beautiful science-fiction design, and a sense of freedom that most games only dream of, Solargene is an absolute must-play. It’s more than a game — it’s a living simulation of humanity’s next great step among the stars.
