Brilliant little RTS / colony sim. Just noticed they've added multiplayer - I know from experience the dev's really responsive. Didn't expect to see multiplayer - this is now on my to-do. The campaign and skill tree was a lot of fun to work through. Highly recommended.

Amazing game. Superb. Addictive as Hell. Brilliant. FTL on acid with a hint of coke.

110 hours of team-based play, to completion. It was a monster of a game - the best love-letter to Half-life and System Shock, and probably the best survival game I've played. It's vast. It was almost too vast - it nearly outstayed its welcome. But for me, that puts it in a category with Witcher 3 - immense games that just felt a tiny bit overlong. So it's in good company.

A master piece.

A brilliant twist on the base TerraScape. A new deck, new buildings - but most importantly, a new gameplay loop. It brings a refreshing twist to the base TerraScape, and is an awful lot of fun. It's also a very pretty game. Cosy, fun, relaxing - highly recommended, if that's your thing.

It took a little while to adjust to the new style of gameplay, coming from base TerraScape, but after a scenario or two, it all just clicked. Great game, responsive devs.

A great little city-builder crossed with a card game. It's fun tracking down the merged building combos, as the decks unlock.

A really cosy little game, that I come back to time and again. I can also strongly recommend the Egypt DLC; think of it as similar game, different deck, different rules. Brings a nice twist, to vary up the gameplay.

There's potential there, but there was an awful lot of "Press button for variable-length progress bar" "Collecting intel", with intel simply being a score to use for opening doors.

Laptop? 10 second progress bar, 5 intel. Smartphone? 6 seconds, 3 intel.

There seem to be seeds of a good game in here - but we got a team of 3 together for the free weekend, and couldn't get a single game - turns out matchmaking servers were broken.

Sorry to say, but can not possibly give a recommendation in this state.

Really enjoying this game. Some great "Batman Arkham Asylum" style puzzles - shoot the button, follow the wire, connect the X to the Y. The combat is fun and arcade-y. The story is handled well enough by voice acting and drawings. Boss fights are fun. The loot system doesn't get in your way.

Some of the scenes are beautiful. A map with nebula and clouds, combining to light and hide areas - very pretty. Yes, this is better than some AAA games, no question.

Really impressed.

Brilliant game, love it. It doesn't have the same grind as Ark - yes, there is a grind, but the exploration makes it really enjoyable. It still needs more content (which is hopefully coming), but what there is, is a lot of fun. Especially for the price.

Also, one of the best build systems I've come across. Easy, not too fiddly, but gives you plenty of scope to 'do what you want to do'.
