Very high production quality. About 5 hours of content.

Having tried the tutorial, the quality is so low (but playable without bugs!) I regret having spent the 10$ at 75% discount. I appreciate the vision and effort but the results are just not even worth my time if it was free, and I enjoy the theme.

Its ok for a 3$ game. The campaign story and art is all made by chatGPT.

This is a very nice love story (besides the obvious), and it will launch you to long heights and pulse with uncommon endurance.

The Game is alright - great even, but as with other Owlcat games, I cant never bring myself to finish the campaigns even after dozens of hours, and I have 115 on this one.

The Bug that got me to stop the game?

Resource Shortage: People

I dont know what is broken with the calculation, but with 150 people, having spent 4, i suddenly lost 70 profit factor.

I just dont care anymore.

The lesson is - only buy owlcat games 3 years after release so you can actually finish the game the first time around you play them.

If you played the other games, and they are all good games, you know what to expect and what you are getting yourself into. Now i will just a youtube about the endgame so i can have closure.

The game is great - the best strategic WW2 simulator out there. Or, it used to be in my memory. Now...

The publisher continuously adds to the game, and forces you to buy DLCs to get full functionality. If you dont, the mainline version of the game becomes increasingly defective to current balance and mechanics, and the price of the "latest up to date" continues to increase, where the older DLCs keep the full price and never depreciate, so even IF you had the game up to date and some DLCs, you try to play it years later and its not even the same thing, and the price gap to latest version is more than $100, and continuously increased by every new barebones "expansion".

That is why I give it a negative.

I despise this practice from PDX.

Its alright, fun even once you get the hang of it. It works well enough - I couldn't find any problems with it myself (no DLC).

This is a sort of turn board/card event style game, It get only so many moves/actions per turn. It is short enough since the game ends when all 3 terraforming counters reach max (oxygen, temperature and ocean levels).

You can compete against AI (or players) to gain the most points in terraforming mars. It looks very well thought out and I had to play a few matches to get the hang of it. Depending on the corp perks and starting cards you get, your playthrough can run very different every time, as there are multiple paths to victory. Additionally, you need to be aware of the points of the other players, and plan your actions in a way that ensures your win when the game ends, and you only have so much control of when that happens.

There is a multiplayer, and it looks like that would be fun, but I did not try it.

If you like the theme/style, you wont regret it.

There are DLC, but they are too expensive for my taste so I didnt get any.

This game has a refreshing style, fitting music, simple design, incredibly fun, very well thought out and hella addicting!

This is a very well thought out puzzle game. And difficult as well! Interesting 8 hours of head banging...

This is an nifty logistics and terraforming simulation.

I have played this for 10 hours already, and this has the time travel condition: You start using it, and suddenly hours have gone by without you noticing. This means its good.

This is sort of like, a "simple" Factorio, because the logistics note types are much simpler, but there are some complicated puzzles you will need to solve - as you cannot setup centralized resource processing until you have quite a bit of the tech unlocked.

This is a 0.7 pre-release review.
