From Steam reviews
Review notes
Skies above the Great War is worth a closer look if you want management, solo-friendly, automation, and controller friendly.
Best for players who want emotional story, strong atmosphere, management, and solo-friendly.
Check more carefully if you dislike technical roughness.
management
Play styleThe game asks you to run, improve, or balance a system over time.
buggy
FrictionTechnical roughness or instability comes up often enough to check.
solo-friendly
FitIt still makes sense as a solo play choice.
automation
Play styleThe fun is in making systems run by themselves.
controller-friendly
FitController, gamepad, or Steam Deck play comes up as a plus.
emotional-story
ToneThe story is framed as affecting rather than just plot-heavy.
strong-atmosphere
ToneThe mood, place, and presentation carry a lot of the experience.
Steam review snapshots
You can choose how much of the game to manage yourself versus automate.I read the reviews and many people were saying things along the lines of "Wait for the dev to fix the bugs"…It's management meets Red Baron II (albeit arcade style fighting until the 1st person POV is completed).There are bugs like when the planes stop moving on the map but the game continues, and it sometimes gets a bit…Why it fits
Check it if you want action, strategy filtered by open world, single-player.
