A solid, atmospheric puzzle / strategy
The game will obviously get an enormous amount of points with those who are enraptured by the idea of space exploration and its often dark implications: the challenge of being the most lonesome person who's ever lived chief amongst them. Tharsis has a good story, but it nevertheless only provides an aesthetically pleasing framework for the solid logic puzzle hidden within. Don't be fooled by the randomness of dice-throwing: the outcomes are highly controllable and rely primarily on skill and tactics. The game challenges the player with a steep learning curve, but after experimenting and reading some tips online, I found the mechanics logical, transparent, and well-balanced. In about 5 hours, I was able to start reliably winning on Easy mode (and got at least two variations of voiceover lines, which is also nice). I recommend new players to try out "Missions" (these tutorials are way better than the actual campaign tutorial - short on-the-job affairs). And also a thorough Steam guide some German dude has written. In fact, I must have missed a great chunk of the learning process (and fun / frustration) by reading the guide. But oh well, you can't unsee stuff. Though technically modest, Tharsis is well-finished in all the right places. Weird but expressive astronaut heads, nice interiors, cool hand-drawn cutscenes, and, most of all, brilliant electronic music by Weval. I will be definitely bying the album.
