Now that I completed almost all achievements with only two challenges left to try it's time to write a review on this enjoyable and extremely addicting game. If you love city building strategy games and survival ones like Banished, you should definitely check out this game, as this is essentially a space variation. You will -- presumably -- have to restart each planet and each challenge multiple times to perfect your strategy, but that's exactly where the fun starts, at least for me. In fact, after a hard start it can feel really cozy and quite satisfying to see your base safely secured by lightning rods amidst a thunderstorm. Especially as the graphics are beautiful. The mechanisms are logical even though they're sometimes not what you would expect -- e.g. if you can build a spaceship why are you not able to dig a tunnel through a mountain or build a floating component on a sea? -- and as probably everyone else I would wish for more planets, more resources, more buildings. Nothing what DLCs or mods can't fix, right?
A big congrats to the developers. Apart from the minor issues above this game is awesome.
