Good game that needs more strategy

After adjusting my expectation, I've really come to enjoy this game. So far, it's not really a civ-type game because there is no way to create a long-term, sustainable civilization. Instead, your focus is on completing the goals of each scenario before your population's discontent causes the colony to fail. As you reach milestones, you get more leaders, building types, etc. to help you succeed. I had pretty much maxed out the game before the last update added some additional steps in the scenarios. Since I wanted to start from scratch to see how the updated version plays, I had to uninstall and reinstall the game. It could use a reset option so you could wipe out your progress and start fresh. The other quibble I have with the game is that the buildings (projects) you can build are randomly picked each turn. There's no way to set your research so that you, for example, get more terraforming choices or more luxury/happiness choices. As a result, you can end up really needing some new housing so you can expand a city to mine surrounding resources but end up going several turns before any housing becomes available. Consequently, your strategy is limited.

Not designed for casual fun

This is a game that wants you to take it very seriously. Your citizens' constantly and exponentially increasing demands make a long, relaxing game utterly impossible. Certain modes, like the ability to make terraforming or science your main goal, are locked behind "you must have gotten this good to play" walls, and have minimum difficulty settings higher than the rest of the game. The new game screen even organizes the difficulty selection like a meter you should be seeking to fill, leaving the player psych in a place where you could feel like a casual playthrough is bad and wrong. All of this is probably music to some people's ears, and that's fine; you'll have a great time here. But as someone seeking a more casual experience, I regret spending my hard-earned money on a game that's so deeply antagonistic to my desire to just sit back and chill and turn a red planet green.

Good game (bon jeux)

(L'avis en francais est en dessous) (EN): I finished my first part (the tutorial). The game is immersive. At the beginning we wonder what to do. Then one turn after the other, we continue, we take pleasure to advance. The game has certainly still some balancing to do. But it is really promising. A big congratulations to the studio and thanks to Goblinz to publish always good games. (FR): J'ai fini ma premiere parti (le tutoriel). Le jeux est immersive. On début on se demande quoi faire. Puis un tour après l'autre, on continue, on prend plaisir a avancer. Le jeux a certainement encore des équilibrage a faire. Mais il est vraiment prometteur. Un grand bravo au studio et merci a Goblinz d'édité toujours de bon jeux.

Fun game to play.

Once you get the hang of it, it's easy enough to figure out but challenging enough to keep you engaged. No issues or glitches with the game.
