I am enjoying Solar Expanse so far. So far, my only complaint is that scheduling missions feels like it has more clicking and navigating through menus than it should.

Performance is good so far on ultra settings with a 3080Ti

The good:
Fun. Start slow, design routes with various transport modes, expand, delegate to hub managers.
Replayable (plenty of different game options and a few game modes)
Plenty of explanatory tooltips
Relevant achievements

The medium
Graphics- vehicle models are good, world map could use an upgrade
Hub managers- useful but could use improvements
AI competitors- decent, but could use improvements

The not so good:
Some of the management tools and options are not well implemented yet, so there is more mouse clicking.
Simulation speed slows down in late game when there are too many passengers and vehicles.

Hopes:
Modding
Add cargo transport to game

It's a fun game. Took me a few tries and a number of years before I got past the start, but I'm finding out now that there is a lot of depth to the game. The graphics are good, and there are plenty of helpful tips at the beginning of the game... it helps you get started without being too intrusive of a tutorial.

It is a fun game so far. Could use a number of UI improvements, but the gameplay is fun enough to forgive the clunkiness of some aspects of the interface.

A few suggestions:
Labs could use some upkeep cost to keep it balanced.
Infinite/repeating research would keep the labs relevant in the late game.
Some of the toggle options on the menus are not clear if they are in the on or off position, this could use some work.
Some of the audio and display options do not always set or save properly, a button to apply settings would be helpful.

If you have ever played games or had friends, this should be on your wishlist. If you have friends or enjoy games, you should own it.

I managed to have a blast in the game by subscribing to some random things on the workshop and pushing random buttons in game until a friend who was more experienced in the game offered to play chess with me. I lost, and I would lose again.

I like it so far. The user interface is clean and reasonable. Graphics are not the highlight of the game; they suffice. The tutorial is pretty sparse at the moment, but the gameplay mechanics and design are good. I have not played much just yet, but I have a good feeling about Lawgivers II.

If you're here for the genre or the topic, I recommend it. If you're on the fence or money is tight, might be better to wait a while and see how the game develops, but definitely a game to keep an eye on.

I am enjoying Motor Town, despite how much I dislike driving in real life. There is already a lot to do, and the multiplayer is fun. It's a bit like GTA, but without the violence and forever long loading screens. Motortown loads quickly and runs smoothly. You should at least try the demo, and probably buy the game after that.

This is a really neat game that has made steady progress and improvements since it was released. I like the graphics (sometimes I catch myself watching the sunrises over the landscape). I like that you can configure the level of complexity and difficulty. I like the modding community that the game has.

I have enjoyed MegaFactory Titan so far. It has not crashed for me in ~15 hours of gameplay. For an early access game, it already has a lot of gameplay. As of now, there are only 3 difficulty settings, but custom difficulty options should be part of the next update.

There is a tutorial that helped me get started. The game has a recipe browser, which helps greatly due to there being multiple ways to make some of the materials.


I would like to see more text descriptions added in the game's help/recipe browser in the future, and support for modding.

Yeah, this game is pretty fun. I'm not really into MMOs or RPGs, but I like building and tycoon games. It runs well so far, and I haven't experienced any crashes.

There is a lot of customization possible in level design and play style. I don't have much of an imagination, but I'm still enjoying the game.
