This is a great game with lots of opportunity to learn and play different mechanics. Just need to try not to get set in doing the same thing game after game and trying new designs to achieve your goals.

Of all the games in my library, this is certainly one of them :)

This has got to be one of the best games I've played over a long time. Each update add more and more content, and the game presents a light hearted fun look at space travel. The mod community is amazing and allows you to transform this game into just about anything you like.

Interesting little game for some casual fun

It's jigsaw puzzles. Lots and lots of jigsaw puzzles. If you like jigsaw puzzles, there's lots to like in this game. If you don't know what a jigsaw puzzle is, then I don't know what to say...

Great ending to the triology. I found this one to be less enjoyable though than the two previous games. Seemed to be more filler and cut scenes, and less puzzle solving. Less comedy focus as well. Still an enjoyable game, but definately play the first two as they are great and most of this game won't make sense without that background.

Nov 2021 Update:
I've recently gotten back in Civ after installing the New Frontier Pass package. That package adds a lot of additional content and game modes that really round out the experience. I now find this game easy to recommend as there is plenty of content to explore and it can be picked up at a great price when on discounts. I'm not a fan of the new 2K launcher that is now bundled into the installation, but a brief search will quickly find you a solution to that hurdle.

Just a pretty quick review here, more of a "my personal addendum to most other reviews" than an actual review.

Basically, I can't say I disagree with many points for most of the negative reviews currently on Steam. There are certainly some problems, some frustrations and some things just plain lacking. I don't disagree with any other those complaints. Likewise, there are some really cool features in the game that a worth experiencing for yourself.

I find it a hard line to draw between those things that just don't work as I assume they were intended, and those things that are just different from what I'm used to in Civ 5 and I haven't learned to take advantage of yet.

What I'd like to differentiate from all those negative reviews is that I would still recommend this game. There is some fun to be had, and I've enjoyed most of the play time I've spent in-game. Maybe hold off and see what the first major patch brings, but I don't see any reason why someone couldn't buy the game now and enjoy it.

Fall Patch Update:
Some improvements in some areas, but AI is still lacking. Played through a game since the patch, but haven't really noticed any of the changes from the patch notes.

I completely enjoyed this game from start to finish (and to finish). The style of gameplay might be a niche, but it brought back memories of playing games from many years ago.

Many of the puzzles I found I could work out and made sense, though there were a couple of doozies that made me seek solutions through Google. For the most part, I think the puzzles were well thought out and functioned well within the game space.

I'll certainly be looking forward to my next playthrough, although I hope I'll be playing LoG3 before too long.
