Disappointing game.

I came to Surviving the Aftermath after playing and really enjoying Surviving Mars, and I’ve got to say—I’m loving this game too. I jumped straight into the Complete Edition, so I can’t speak for the base game on its own, but with all the DLCs included, the experience feels rich, layered, and constantly engaging.

I’ve seen some negative reviews about the DLCs, but honestly, I don’t get it. Each one adds something meaningful: new systems, new challenges, and more depth to the survival and management gameplay. It feels like the game keeps evolving and pushing you to adapt, which keeps things fresh and interesting.

One thing I especially like is how every decision matters. You’re constantly balancing survival, resource management, and exploration while also dealing with unpredictable events. It really captures that feeling of rebuilding from the ground up after a collapse.

If you’re a fan of colony sims or survival strategy games, and especially if you liked Surviving Mars, I think Surviving the Aftermath (with all the DLCs) is absolutely worth it.
