Short: Highly recommended if you want a casual nature focused game that's mostly point and click with minimal brain use. Even the most challenging maps aren't that stressful once you figure it out. The Long: Very good, very casual, very cozy game. While fairly straight forward, you can put yourself in a pickle if you restore the regions wrong or mess up on a step. Easy enough to start that specific map mission over. So just be aware of what you are doing! Solid 15+ hours of gameplay played at a casual pace. I played it off and on over the course of a week. The extra time was to finish off the achievements that can be a bit hard to unlock on a straight playthrough. The nice thing is, going back and redoing the mission does NOT undo what you have already accomplished. So if you completed the map, you don't have to worry about it now being counted as unfinished by the game if you go back to do it again. The art is pleasing to the eye. A bit of a mix of pixel with 3D I suppose? Either way, it's nice to look at and fairly high detailed from the mechanical to the flora and fauna. It's fun to start fires and watch it spread as well. The music pairs with it nicely as well, setting a comfy and cozy vibe to play. Not really much else to say! It's balanced well and layered well enough with how you go about interacting with the mechanical features to restore the planet. Like what machines do what and how you should set them up to achieve the best biome output without later ruining them by trying to add more of another biome. Like the forest, for example, you have to burn areas for the forests to grow and that can REALLY mess things up if you already have grasslands and fynbros biomes nearby cause they're gonna BURN, lol. So, again, looking for something casual and comfy to play? Give it a go.

This game has wrecked my grades. Every time I return from the toilet, I find my non-gamer wife to have occupied my computer to play this game and I join her instead of doing assignments.

Picked this up after a very overwhelming week took me out and I needed a game to help me reset. Relaxing but not brainless, requires just enough attention to detail and some patience: just the right level of challenge. Not a detailed ecosystem builder, if you're looking for that, but a solid strategy puzzler with a lovely green twist of a premise. Cleaning up each map at the end is supremely satisfying.

This game reroutes my neurons like its some kind of super computer being forced to solve for 2+2=4 I wouldn’t say Terra Nil is hard, the game just wants you to plan things out, and sometimes take leaps of faith that everything is going to work out. You gotta do steps A. B. C. ,but the game just plops step A in front of you, and you have to guess what B and C are going to be. The results, at times, are that you have to restart the level 5 times because you are missing the piece in step C, which the game hasn’t even told you about. Then there are times where you try to expect the unexpected, and waste all your time planning something in step A only to find out what you did was completely unneeded. My honest to god tip for you is to just keep it simple, head empty, no thoughts, full dumb, purify the land with Tetris shapes, then wing it until you win.
