Love it...

Love the game, BUT!!!... They made it necessary to have one power plant per functional building. This makes your base a MUCH, MUCH bigger and very cumbersome to try to lay out in a way that is reasonably functional and navigable... I would LOVE to see that particular requirement altered to allow a MINIMUM of 2 functional buildings ran from each power plant (preferably 4 or more), especially when it comes to the "In-line" pumps. They are small enough we should be able to hook 5 or 10 of those to a single power source. Multiple electrical connections are the norm EVERYWHERE else! Why not here? With the size of the buildings in this game, any one you can avoid having to build 20 or 30 (or more) of is very helpful.

I've had the program for a short time now and I must say, the graphics are excellent, BUT... The default aircraft selection in this version is EXTREMELY limited. I must say I was very disappointed in that aspect of the game. No helicopters at all. Only 2 commercial jets, A few different small turbo props and non-turbo props. BUT NOT A SINGLE HELICOPTER!!! MICROSOFT YOU SCREWED UP (as usual).

So, overall, the program is great but Microsofts laziness and greed play into it for sure. Add-on aircraft for this game, from what I have seen, cost as much as the program itself. Ouch!

Loved it.

Absolutely love the game and its built in sense of humor. Some of the physics could use a little tweaking and such but other than that, I love it.

Like the game BUT........ They still have a ways to go to make it a great game. Multiplayer is awesome BUT........ they need to make it so you can use sandbox mode (proving grounds) in multiplayer.

Absolutely love the game BUT.... I get to the end of a mission in the helicopter and the game just crashes and exits to the desktop. Doesn't look like I will be able to finish the game. There are no indicators, just when the screen fades (to advance to next cut scene) the game simply goes away and I am out at my desktop.

System:
Windows 8.1 (64bit)
Quad core 3.2Ghz
16Gb Ram
Nvidia GTX 770i

My system does not struggle to run the game at all so it's not an issue with that.

This is like Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 on steroids. They have made most things in the game sooooo easy. Including terrain manipulation. Great job guys. Keep up the good work!

One suggestion tho... MAKE WATERFALLS MORE IMPORTANT!!! (on your end I mean) :)

Love it!

While this is an early access game at the time of this review, I have logged 19 hours of play time and I have to say, aside from a few small "hiccups", I quite like the game.

I do have to warn you tho, it is a MAJOR memory hog. I have 8GB of RAM in my computer and I have never had a game use more than 60-70%. This game however uses in the range of 85-95%. As such it causes the game to "lag" or "chunk" pretty bad after only a short time playing. Very annoying.

There is also a lack of instructions for the game (early access I am assuming is why) so I have yet to figure out how to switch vehicles etc...

All in all tho, I would have to say that, when you take into account that it is an early access game, it is worth the price and is fun to play in spite of the hiccups.

(update) I just read a "Discussion" and found out how to switch to another ally vehicle. Set a cab on the ground and double click it to set focus on it. lol... I tried every button combination I could think of but never thought to double click the dam thing. lol...

(update) The game has become basically unplayable after only 3 days. Not sure why but even after a fresh boot, restart game and turning graphics down to near nothing, the game still chunks so bad it ihas become unplayable. And I know it is not my system. I can play most games (TF2, Carrier Command, Call of Duty 4, Far Cry 4 etc...) on full graphics.

My system stats:

MB: ASRock Z87 Extreme4
CPU: 3.2 Ghz Intel Core i5-4570 (64bit) (quad-core)
RAM: 8GB (single)
Video: nVidia GeForce GTX 770i
OS: Windows 8.1 64 bit

So the problem isn't in my machine as far as I can tell. Hope they get it fixed because I do like the game so far.
