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.
This is a calming experience. It's intensely satisfying to have your progress lead to life blooming in a polluted land. It's not crunchy, which allows for a chill experience. With fantastic art direction with regards to the environment and rejuvenation progress. P.S. For the factorio players. Imagine what if the Factory Must Degrowth
Terra Nil hates its players. A new mechanic is introduced every map, and that mechanic often breaks the way that you have been taught to expect things to work, and for no obvious reason. The new mechanic is inevitably poorly explained, and requires refined sequencing over time as you fill out the map. The specific details required to achieve acceptable sequencing are only revealed progressively, meaning that you can be a significant distance into the map before realising that you’ve done something that makes it impossible to hit an arbitrary target. The only solution at that point is to restart the map from scratch. For example, in the last level you are asked to recycle your buildings once the map appears completely finished, however doing so results in you deleting critical components required to power your space ship before you actually leave. Every map requires you to achieve very specific ratios of different biomes to progress, and what biomes can go where often requires significant refinement. This can mean, for example, that you start flooding rivers and establishing vegetation on the banks, only to later discover that this has prevented you from setting up certain other conditions that require empty creek beds to achieve. At this point the only solution is normally to restart the level. Each map is very finely balanced in terms of resource production, but this typically only comes to a head when you’re nearing one of the three interim transition goals within a map. This means that if you do too much of this and not enough of that you will only discover this after you've been happily building away for some time, unaware of the resource cliff that is approaching. At this point the only solution is to restart the level. Accepting that this is a game, and there is a lot of suspension of disbelief involved due to the abstraction, but particularly jarring to me was that game routinely requires you to achieve ambient temperatures significantly exceeding what would normally be conducive to most animal and plant life. Honestly, just re-scaling the temperature range to something around half of what the game keeps requesting would be simple, and enough. On any objective level Terra Nil fails as a game, but it looks pretty and the animations are relaxing, which in this case seems to be enough for me. As a result I am giving it a grudging thumbs up, however your tolerance for the game's very many rude hand gestures directed at the player may vary. I guess I must be a masochist.
Fun enough game. Got it on sale and i think it was worth it while discounted. The game has issues, not just bugs but gameplay functionality and the loop. Issues i had: The later you get into the game the more and more it stutters. infinate fire in a level, consrantly setting fire to everything (had to restart the level on multiple occasions) I found the gameplay loop fun until the end of each level, where you are forced to take a bunch of pictures to progress, weirdly enough the climate changing objectives are optional, even tho that is the concept of the game but being forced to take pictures of key things on the level once completed can't be skipped???? Wait for a sale
