Used to be a good game. Use to love it. Played over 800hrs over the years, but now they INSIST on you signing in through their 'Official Server, even if you just want to play with a friend, directly through the game/Steam, without using any server. DO NOT BUY.

With just shy of 140hrs of play when I write this, I think its easy to say I really enoy this game. I've spent weeks on the first game of the series, totalling over 1000hrs. I think this game is going the same way. Its so relaxing, and the visuals are pleasing. I get great satisfaction when I see the spray of water, leaving the nozzle and watching as the dirt washes away. The perfect game to play while watching YouTube, a movie or similar.

I love automation style games like Factorio, Fortress Craft and Satisfactory. This game is no different. With appealing graphics, easy and relaxing game play, and fun path building for workers etc, this is a game that could be played by any age with little to no assistance. Its still in 'Early Access' and I often wonder why. It's full of content and is often getting updates and improvements. You can truly see that the dev team is committed to providing fun for a decent price. I really cant speak highly enough about this gem, as I always find myself coming back to it, time and time again.

What can I say that hasnt yet been said? I Wish listed and Watched this game some months back, keeping an eye on updates and other players feedback. I was scepticle after seeing some of the negative reviews, but am thoroughly surprised by the intricacy, detail and charm of this little diamond. I love colony building and automation games, so to find this little golden nuggat , was something else. There is so much to do, research and automate. Theres different levels of robots too, which really adds something to the game. On its face, this game looks simple, and something you may get bored of after a few hours, I can honestly say that this game will keep most people occupied for many, many hours. I dont usually write reviews, but this game deffinitely deserved the 5 stars. Keep it up devs! Very nice to see such a well made game come from the UK, by such a small team.

As many others have said, this game is hard. It will break your heart 100 times over, but you'll still keep coming back! I've owned this game for years now, and have played it for a lot longer than Steam says. There is no story to this, so dont expect that, but if you want a challenge on creating the perfect town, if you want to take a small hovel of people and create a bustling city from it, then this is deffinitely for you.

Very basic, even for an Early Access game, but certainly shows lots of promise. Large maps with different enemies and fauna to explore. The graphics could do with improvements, but for a very a early access game, I've enjoyed the 8hrs I've spent playing it. I look forward to future updates!

For anyone that had hopes for No Man's Sky and highly enjoys games like Space Engineers, this game is worth every last penny. Amazing game with lot's of customization, beautiful graphic's and generally feels amazing. Definite must for space and creation/sandbox lovers,

My all time fave RTS game and quite possibly the oldest. If you enjoy creating armies and collecting resources, this is deffinitely the game for you. Over and over Age of Empires, it's developers and creaters prove why this is the flag ship game of the RTS (Real Time Strategy) genre. With it's amazing campaign, multiplayer option and the different types of game (such as death match etc) there's tons of hours of fun to be had!
