Genuinely incredible Things I've loved playing over the years.. Startopia the space station manager Stellaris with all the science discoveries to make Frostpunk with it's nerve wracking decisions matter building Homeworld and its incredible soundtrack as you gaze in wonder at space This game mixes all four in to something profound.. The story opens up properly with something.. shocking giving the urgency of the...
The game wants you build build build but doesnt give you any space to do so and still needs one of every single building in each sector. And every building is Massive. How. Its Just frustrating and I dont like it, Its oky to want me to manage space and whatnot but then give me space not a closet and expect me to build Rome inside it.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
