Tharsis is easy to pick up and play. Its dice rolling gameplay has a simple premise and yet it is a tough game to conquer. It is fairly addictive, in part because it is challenging and one bad bit of luck or a little misplay leaves you scrambling and wanting to have another go. This game has received plenty of criticism for its difficulty but I don't think this is fair. The randomness is part of the point and a key part of the charm. I like that it is not easy and that ultimately you have to be both lucky and strategic in order to win. You are supposed to feel like you're battling against the odds. Its full price is on the higher end although it does have enough variation in character specialities to make replaying feel worthwhile. The 'story' aspect feels a little half baked. It sets the scene but lacks payoff in my opinion. Overall, Tharsis is a fun little luck-orientated survival strategy game. I would recommend it, although probably best to wait for a discount as it is a game you will likely play for 10 hours and not 100.
