It seems to me that this game has been getting a worse reviews than it deserves. It has enjoyable city building mixed with interesting logistic planning that feels like it really matters due to the scarcity of your resources. The achievements are fun and it seems to me that the game offers plenty of content. You'll be doing the same thing over and over again (but isn't that just how city building works?), but you will have different circumstances to overcome each time, which keeps the game interesting for me. It's not quite a casual game due to the planning required, but it's not quite a heavy management sim either due to the fairly focused scope of your objectives. I could see the micromanagement getting tiresome, but otherwise I'm really enjoying this experience. I might recommend waiting for a sale if you're on the fence, but I'm very happy with my purchase. If you're intregued by the prospect of a fairly approachable "hard sci-fi" simulation of what will hopefully be humanity's next foothold in the universe, I would recommend giving this a shot. I would rate my experience 5 stars were it not for the lack of cloud save support.
