Overall a solid AC game. Bit slow to start, and the opening scene was a little confusing at first, but still good.

Blast of a set of puzzles. Relatively easy, with some more challenging ones interspersed. Fun use of a few hours.

Excellent game as it stands if a little sparse on story, the game is slow to update and devs are largely incommunicative unfortunately, but when the rare updates come through they are typically large and fully game altering.

While overall I do recommend this game, it might be worth waiting for the next update if you're looking for something more complete.

While I love this game, the things Sony has been pulling in the background are shady as hell and as such I cannot recommend it to others even as I continue to play.

I will revise this review if and when Sony returns the allowable sale to all affected regions and drops the PSN requirement entirely.

Victorian Era Survival sim, what more needs to be said? Loads of fun, the progression is a bit slow to start for those of us who happen to be completionists, but that really depends on your personal playstyle more than anything.

Great game, lots of customizability and one of the most nuanced crafting systems I've ever encountered. Hours of fun and near-infinite replayability with realms spawning differently whenever you need.

One of my favourite "Ant Farm Simulators" Sits up there with other classics like Theme Hospital, Rimworld, and Dwarf Fortress. The complexity of the interacting systems and keeping your duplicants happy makes for days and days of different interactions and configurations trying to sort out what the best options are. A bit of a slow burn as far as action goes, but when something critical goes wrong it'll keep you on your toes.

So far it's a fun and somewhat challenging game, resource collection is a bit on the grinding side of things, but otherwise the progression is logical if slow.
Not sure if there's something I'm missing as yet, but I'm enjoying the gameplay thoroughly to date.

Graphics are somewhat inefficient, actually pushing my 3080Ti a bit, but then those are things usually accomplished around pre-launch time, not necessarily early access.

Excellent game, complex with the ability to look up the nuances in the in-game manual, which is necessary often. Lots of fun and a solid feeling of accomplishment when you've got it figured out, and fun explosions and fires when you don't. Rebuilding can be almost as fun and even more challenging due to limited resources, at least at first.

EDIT: 2025-12-12 - Continues to be one of my favourite survival simulation games, so much detain and continually worked on, steep learning curve, but more than worth it for the excellent gameplay.

Somewhat meditative game, sometimes good to run at 1x in the background while doing other things.

Interesting game, really needs in-game tutorials, but then I've noticed that seems to be a theme in engineering games.

Honestly someof the most fun I've had mining out asteroids for resources, etc.
