Steam review snapshots
I want to put more time into it and explore all it has but I just can't play it for more than…that is where the tutorial completely fails, some parts of it actually has controller buttons set up so you are left to…But if I catch someone slacking off and EATING supplies of my entire colony, they are gonna see what's lying behind those…The game is great, but not for solo, so if you have a friend, this game might be great…Why it fits
Best for players who want atmosphere, management, and a shared colony-building experience. Tense base building and colony management with exploration, survival crafting, and co-op support.
Who might skip it
Skip if you want a purely solo experience with no management or colony-sim focus.
