Love this game, Hands down my favourite colony sim.

Simplistic visuals might put you off at first, but the sheer amount of replay-ability is astonishing.

For one, you can play however you like, whether it be a trade oriented colony, a band of bloodthirsty raiders, or some cave dwelling cannibals that ambush passing traders for food.

With the DLC additions, you have even more customisation, offering you the chance to make every play though truly unique from religious worship, food preference or even general ideology.

With all the good, it does have some drawbacks:
- The UI can take a while to get to grips with, meaning you'll have to devote some time to learning how and where to use certain tabs
- The game-play and building has a lot of intricacies, often leading to confusion and frustration early on, but like the UI, with enough practice, you'll learn how to get it right eventually.

Ultimately, the main gripe is the learning curve being very steep in the beginning. However, it is definitely worth figuring out the UI and how to manage your colony efficiently.

If you're a fan of colony sims, this is for sure one of the best. Would highly recommend.
