Ark but better.

Server issues completely resolved in my experience. Just finished a lobby with 16k exp going 48-16 K/D with 9 split ball captures. This is the peak human experience and what every shooter should be.

Catan meets Risk. Great little game with awesome animation, sounds, and art.

Better than Red Prince, that's for sure.

Basically Auto-battler PoE. There is a lot of content here and the game really does a good job of simplifying systems as you progress so that simple things become less tedious. Well worth the price.

More silly lethal company. Very fun! Great game.

I love this game. It's the perfect mix of subnautica, satisfactory, and astroneer. It's got fun things to explore, enough automation to make the boring grind go away, without it being a core game mechanic for those who don't like that stuff. The world is large and bases can be as big as you want them. The story is intriguing enough to keep you exploring.

Lovely game.

Good mix of Mechabellum / Direct Strike from Starcraft, Creeper World, and Planetary Annihlation: Titans. Visually distinct art style that is simple but very engaging. Lots of beautiful animations and sounds.

Gameplay loop of build a base, watch as stuff blows up has been fun.

A LOT of content. I'm editing this review as I was initially skeptical about the price tag but there's a ton of game here.

The campaign narrative is fun. Not winning any Pullitzers, but interesting enough to make me want to push the next operation button.

Difficulty varies but that may be due to me trying to use relatively cookie cutter strategies of economy first -> light -> medium -> heavy -> capitals, rather than some other order that might better serve each level.

Great Game! The most excellent blend of difficulty, adventure, mystery, automation, base building, exploration. The progression is vastly improved by the mission system. I had a great time playing this. Even at $30 I think it's worth it for one copy. I got 2 copies to play with my girlfriend when it was on sale for $12 each.

The perfect Space game. Learning curve is still rough and sites like Inara and Elite DB are vital
