I will be honest, though I think this expansion should be called Dawntrailer just for the sheer amount of cutscenes there is, I think people are being too harsh to review it negatively.

Of course, I agree, Endwalker was way better but come on, that's the ending of a 10-year saga. I was a bit disappointed by DT first half due to it being much less dramatic, way more casual storytelling and all, but I think every saga needs to begin somewhere, and I've gotta say, the second half (after lvl 95 MSQ) is really MUCH better.

Stick around, I've got a feeling FF players will not be disappointed by what's to come, and IMO this new saga is already intertwinning to the last one in a pretty cool way.

Awesome game, been waiting for this since I played the Creative Space "demo" and it was really worth the wait: Incredibly fun and chill game. Even though I am quite sure I am not an artist (can't discuss with DNA tests, though....), people enjoy my drawings and I admit I'm having a lot of fun trying to draw reasonable art for my comissions lol.

I was already enjoying painting with paint and spray only, now that I opened up a lot more of painting tools, things have gone crazy creative lol. I can't wait to see what else they're bringing into the game in future updates!

Really fun and addictive game but not as relaxing as people commented... Gotta-get-all-the-places-clean-my-OCD-is-firing-up lol. I'm having a blast playing it.

Also, I'd point out that there are some very cool stuff coming up according to their roadmap, they've said they'll add Co-op Career, I'm already looking forward to playing this with friends.

Great job on this game and I easily recommend this to anyone who enjoys some powerwash cleaning!

Awesome game with nice visuals, good control/interface, a stunning soundtrack and an even better story.

Finding the small records of data to understand what you're up against and the way the story opens up added to the immersion (pun intended lol) and made me want to keep exploring deeper and deeper. I will warn you that I was scared at some times but I did keep on going on neverthless and am extremely pleased I did. There's a real sense of achievement on keeping moving and finding out more about the lore of the planet and what's going on.

If you're a fan of open world, survival/crafting games, I absolutely recommend you give this one a try.

PS: I did not play VR since I do not own a VR set but I believe it must be really fun as well.

This game has potential, but it is really boring the way it is now. The only challenge I faced in this game is trying to setup my automation so that the digged ores stop flying everywhere, and I cannot say it was fun doing that.

After a couple hours and getting some automation set on the ground level of the land plot I started, I can mine all of the ore types the game has and I am filthy rich by the game standards. There's no reason at all to keep playing, no reason to buy another plot of land, no challenges to face, so I think I "won" the game.

I really hope there's more content incoming to give me some objectives or goals to aim to, because I think the idea in this game is quite charming, but the way it is now, I would recommend a lot of other mining/automation games over this one.

No comments needed, one of the (if not THE) best automation game out there. Been a player for quite a while, survived a ton of bugs that were properly squashed, updates that broke a few of my saves and saves that were deleted by myself to start anew every time there was a change to some significant mechanics - it all made the journey better. I'm definitely glad and excited for the official launch. Kudos to the development team!!

Rise of Industry is quite a simple game, but I think it hits just the spot for management fans out there.

If you feel up for a little bigger challenge, you can disable some of the things that make it easier (e.g. the round everything to 15 days) so it gets a little trickier to manage your chains. The game also provides a lot of customization options to the maps via the "new game" button and takes you choices in consideration when calculating your final score.

If I could ask for more from this game, I would really enjoy it more if the tech trees were a little more complex and maybe intertwined with the other ones, since this usually forces you to focus on only one of the trees. Also I really think there should be more techs to research since they get completed real fast. Maybe tier 4 and 5 techs? Instead of a tech that increases road speed by 25%, divide it into 3 ones that increase 10% each one?

My only real complaint: AI cheats and is relatively unfair, but I think that has been said a lot before.

I recommend getting this together with the 2130 "expansion" since as a sci-fi fan, I really enjoyed playing this one much more than the 1930 setting. In both of them, though, music and graphics have really pleased me.

To be honest, this game was a huge letdown.

I have played it for a couple hours now and I see no reason to keep playing any further.

The economy system seems to be absurdly simple, I have been making over 4k cash every day for a while now and I think that's why the game has decided to lock my economy in a depressed state for well over 2 weeks, so If I put in any new offices, they won't pay me even close to what they would a few weeks ago.

The utility system is a mess. The level 1 electric utility, for example, generates 10 energy and has an upkeep of 250/day. The level 2 one generates 50 energy and has an upkeep of 1000. Ok, so 250 (cost for smaller ones) times 5 = 1250 so it is clear level 2 is better. For the level 3 though, the upkeep is 3250 and it generates 150 energy... So.... Level 2 is still better?!? What is the benefit of upgrading then?

And oh my god, all the clicking to build the utilities system since every-square-needs-to-be-clicked-individually... For each of the utilities... Since each one uses a different transmission line, but there is no penalty whatsoever for having the entire building covered in utility lines. Their upkeep is zero. Just get ready for clicking hell.

Building new tiers of every building (residential/office/retail) is just more of the same... You want to build bigger offices? Ok, just spam a lot of the smaller restaurants and they'll be magically unlocked. By the way, in doing so, please remember to change the layout of your entire building since you will have to rethink the location of offices that don't like noise or smell or etc.

Information screens is awful. For instance, no feasible way to check how many units of energy, phone etc a given office uses, so no idea how "profitable" that office is. Should I swap it for another one? Who knows, just do it. There is a lot of weirdness here since the game seems to want you to micromanage everything but gives you not enough useful information for managing what is there.

These are just a few of my gripes with this one. Is it charming? Absolutely. Do I miss the old Sim Tower days? Oh yeah, a lot. Would I recommend this one? No, no way I would. There are way better sims out there to be playing right now.

I have had this game for a long time now and don't be mistaken by my relatively low hour count, I also own it on another PC store and on my Switch (where I did most of my playing, just for portability sake).

Stardew Valley is charming, it has cute pixelated graphics and a great soundtrack, which is always uplifting.

Stardew Valley starts "small" to introduce you to the game mechanics and, as you progress thru the game, you will find ways to automate some of the tasks as well as to increase the value of the products you sell, rewarding players who play smartly. Along the way you can open up access to new areas, new buildings, better tools etc. It is an easy recomendation to both new players to this genre as well as veteran players of farming sims.

It is interesting that the developer was able to include a lot to do without making it overwhelming.

Concerning specifically the advantages of owning it on PC, this version is really fun especially if you consider the mod support that we don't have on some of the other platforms. Also, be aware that usually the PC version gets the updates before the console ones. Don't be afraid, though, the game is kept updated and in top shape on all of them.

Either way, if the trailer or images appeal to you, get this game ASAP. It has been worth the full price since launch and now, with all the added content, it is absolutely a steal.

PS: Multiplayer is absurdly fun, get some friends/family to play it and this awesome game will be even better.

This is a deeply immersive story about Niko and the bulb he carries. If you like emotional stories, this is absolutely a must have. You will feel connected to it right away, the story is told in a great way and Niko has so much personality. I got so connected to him that I felt bad even closing the game window.

Nice retro graphics and great music sets the mood perfectly. I bought the OST and absolutely no regrets on that.

Please do not read much about it as it might spoil the story and getting to the end without knowing what to expect is amazing. Just get it and take your shot, you only have one.
