Full disclosure, I have only ever played this game in its arcade format. A great game to play when you're drinking beers with the boys. That being said, trying to charge $30 for a 348mb game is criminal and y'all should be ashamed of yourselves
This is the game I've been looking for. Easy to learn but with plenty of depth. Starting out on "Chill" level and loving the low-anxiety vibe. Edit - I'm coming up on 600 hours now and I'm at the point where I'm really excited for the next DLC. This solar system is really easy for me to disappear into for hours at a time. A perfect break from the real world. At this point I have completed terraformation of both planets and both moons, (3 completely different runs at different difficulty levels) and honestly, it doesnt feel like "the game is over." Quite the opposite, now I can focus on the nuances, instead of survival. Creating endless varieties of the varied life forms. matching them to the specific biomes they will thrive in and relocating to different planets/moons where they can thrive. Resources are no longer an issue and I can be as creative or crazy with base-building as my imagination will allow. Not only is there always something to do, there is always 50 different tasks that are in need of attention, so for me, it is simply impossible to be or ever get bored playing this game. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that I have refused to utilize drones for collecting resources, for me that just takes the fun out of the game, as once you become fully automated your desire to continue just kinda dies. Almost like a cheat code thats so effective it ruines the spirit of the game. But again, thats just me.
