Update: The bugs, multiplayer, and UI issues have been, or are in the process of being fixed. I can now solidly recommend this game :)

Currently unplayable for me with the card bugs. UI needs work. Multiplayer needs work. Devs are silent. This could be a great implementation, but it just needs some more work put in. I'll reevaluate if anything improves. I hate leaving bad reviews, especially for digital board games, but this game in its current state is unacceptable.

I haven't really played much as of this review and I'm sure the game is not perfect, but I have to say, the vr implementation of this game is absolutely beautiful and just spot on. Vr controls are almost perfect. Would love to see more board games ported to vr like this. Played with Oculus Quest 2.

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.

A very chill farm sim that also has some depth. Buildings are laid down in a city-builder/production-chain style, while making sure things are within each others radius to work. Lots of plants and animals to farm. Definitely recommended.

I'm just not a big fan of Tower Defense/RTS games, but I have to make an exception for this one. Addictive as hell.

Edit: I have found a few bugs. D3D error that froze the game, upon resuming that save, the AI's kept rolling their winning shields but continuously used them for shields rather than winning the game.

A simple dice placement game. With dice games, luck is always a big factor and as long as their is a mechanic to mitigate the luck, the game becomes interesting. In Hoards of Glory your dice choices are: place dice on the board to try to fill it for the win, attack another players dice pool to set them back, defend your dice pool from players that have a large dice pool and may go on the attack, put dice in the bank so you can buy new ones at the beginning of your next turn, any combination of these can be done in a turn. The game has AI players and online, although I don't know how many people have this game so I'm not sure if finding opponents is possible. This is one of those hidden gems, simple and fun.

A nice relaxing game of picking assorted tiles to lay out a path and staying on the board longer than your opponent. If you don't want to relax so much, then you can try and force your opponent of the board with some sneaky tile plays or play with a fuse at the beginning of your path forcing you to quickly choose path tiles before the fuse catches you. Fun either way.

It was fun for a few minutes building a rail system literally in my back yard, but ultimately the experience was a little dry and I quickly lost interest. I thought I'd have endless hours of entertainment building all over the world, then realized a train system in my neighborhood was no different than building one in any other part of the world.

Most train sims involve moving passengers from heavily populated residential areas to commercial and industrial workplace areas and shuffling freight to where it's needed. This game doesn't really simulate that, it just randomly moves passengers from one populated area to another as far as I can tell.

I'm not sure what kind of a road map the game has, but I would consider re-purchasing in the future, only if there are some good updates to the game though.

The game engine and physics are great, but the game lost me on the second campaign mission that required me to race against a clock to gather stuff.

Fantastic kingdom builder with lots of future potential. The game has enough new mechanics to separate itself from others in the genre. There are currently no plans for combat which is a bummer, but maybe that could change if enough players request it. Early access version is in good shape though with no game breaking bugs.

Edit: Once my population rose to over 200, there were many logistical bugs and workers not doing their jobs.
