But its one of the best games I´ve ever played hands down. The story is captivating, so is the setting. A very interesting concept all together. I´m excited for the next fricional game!
I wasn´t sure if I would like it. Never really heard of it right until the special sale (well, maybe I had seen the title somewhere). I was searching for a neat city-building game which offers more content in the sense that you really had to explore the game in order to "see it all". I dunno, Im about 80hrs? in right now and I´m only at the beginning of the terraforming process (other things seemed to be more "immediate" if you know what I`m sayin), 4 domes built ... It feels like that there is so much to explore and I´m getting, still, surprised by certain events, mechanics and in-game obstacles in general ... That it´s set on Mars is a gimmick, although a great one. Love the thought process which had been put into the game. It´s on the "more realistic" side of the genre I guess, which is brilliant. In contrast to Anno 1800 It´s even more satisfying, because its actually hard to get to your resources and to maintain what you have already built ... but one of the main things I like about it is the fact that it, still, keeps surprising me. I really hope they keep updating the game as well was working on new add-ons to add even more features and stuff. I can imagine if they do a part 2 of this franchise and enhance the experience on all fronts ... graphics, phsysics, effects, features etc. ... It would be a major hit. If you like games like Anno or the rather new frostpunk ... and if youre somewhat into sci-fi or space in general ... you will LOVE this game!
