Product received for free

6/8/21 Update: New UI enhancements to the main screen: Power and qic actions available, each players progress on the research track shown next to player info, each players terraforming costs and navigation steps next to player info. Nice update indeed.

Gaia Project is Digidiced's newest game and their first game not ported from mobile, so we have a nice PC optimized UI. Overall I think they've done a great job. If you haven't played the game before, the tutorial probably won't be enough help by itself so be prepared to watch some vids as GP is a complex game and some of the games side boards don't have pop up tool tips to help you, but once you get a grip on whats going on, it's a pleasure to play. I have to disagree with some of the reviewers claiming the UI is bad, I think it's very intuitive, it's a complicated game and I'm not sure how much clearer they could have made it. Anyhow, great game and great news that they may be taking another look at some of their older games and perhaps giving them a makeover.

I'd recommend it even without the key as I recommended all Digidiced games with some UI reservations. I own every Digidiced game made in my library, and have recommended most of them despite this one being my only free key. In beta, no one had the resolution issue you reported. Typically, most games have issues at launch, I personally have experienced that, but they usually get resolved quickly enough, unless it's something rare. I give new releases the benefit of the doubt and time to get their patches out before I ever consider a refund.

Id probably recommend it if it was free too. Id accept a free copy to decide if i would change my "dont recommend" review.
