It reminds me of The Settlers, very charming, playful and a good setting- 8/10

Honestly quite chill, hope they keep adding stuff like snow or different biomes.
It has a nice charm to it and could probably use more QOL stuff but overall a nice 7,5 game.

Avoid till they fix the nail bitting bugs.
Relaunched is pretty much Surviving Mars Politics DLC.

But the Politics are overwhelmingly overtuned, with some laws and buildings you can completely trivialize the game difficulty; as of now the 'challenge' of other factions can be easily mitigated, specially if you get friendly factions to the goals you have, and it does not at all compensate for the overall economy buffs that they provide, ending up in a trivialized game. For instance mines can be depleted from full to 0 with 3 shifts with the buffs or rocket achieve FTL speed to earth arriving and going back instantly.

Thus Surviving Mars is mostly only surviving the early game, after that it's city builder. Terraforming completely erases the disasters which is the main difficulty of the game. Underground tech comes too late compared to other critical stuff, it's buggy and underwhelming, same with asteroids, too much resources invested when normal tech is more effective. They advertised reworks but I don't see much of the reworks there.

Overall this is a 7, the game is fun. But dissapointing.

Very enjoyable city builder, could really use improvements on onboarding and tutorials tho.
8/10

Multiplayer was not working really well and now the devs abandoned the game..
Thanks Paradox!

The sounds of mechs going boom is very fun, and it reminds me of an anime I watched. 8/10

MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX OF USA PLANS TO GIVE FREEDOM TO ARABIA, ILLUMINATI IS INVOLVED

Devs went belly up and the studio down so I guess it's the end of the road here, it was a nice 7 tho.

ARA is a 7/10 civ like game.
It is fun if you like micro, but it needs A LOT of work, a lot of rebalancing and fixes before it gets to an 8. Hopefully the devs tackle it in due time but for now it's just middle of the pack.

I really like the game, unfortunately it has many bugs including a game breaking one that somehow ruined my save and until that issue is fixed I can't recommend it. It's too risky for now, there's only one save per game!

If the issue is fixed I'll revisit this.
