Dec. 2025

I love this game. I think at this point I seen most of what it has to offer, but that was a lot. I am excited to see what this developer does next.

May 2025

If you, like me, really like the early game parts of games like Stellaris and Civilization this is for you. I have played it mostly on Steamdeck and have had some minor issues where I had to use the touch screen but otherwise a great adaptation.

April 2025

An interesting resource management game. I like that its laid back with no urgent scenarios. There are challenges and it takes a lot of thought and planning because space is limited on the planet. It would be hard to compare this to another game. I like that its turn based and not on >,>> or pause. I would recommend the game. its a thinking game with the stress of urgency. I think it fun. If you like resource management games, give it a try.

March 2025

If you are looking for a more video gamey version of the Terraforming Mars board game, and one that plays much better as a single player experience, look no further. I'm about halfway through all of the "challenges" and there has been a lot of variety in the buildings and strategies. I did hit the end of the milestone tree and it looks like there are no new buildings or projects to unlock, so it remains to be seen how much the mileage after this point varies. In all, I'd wait for it to go on sale and then scoop it up, it is definitely a good, straightforward puzzley type game.

Jan. 2025

This is a good game. More like board game than anything else. Challenging and interesting. Every scenario presents its own unique goal but you have to keep in mind many other aspects in order to succeed. Keeping support high later in the game becomes very, very difficult and if you didn't make investments into terraforming earlier, even if your scenario doesn't call for any terraforming, you won't be able to spread the animals and plants that bring in the big bucks support wise and you'll quickly run out. I really like it.
