   I've put more hours into this game than I ever thought I would. I started playing in early access and they just keep patching in new featuresI've put more hours into this game than I ever thought I would. I started playing in early access and they just keep patching in new features and smoothing out the old ones (in a good way). It's the kind of game that sits in my library and waits for me to launch it again. I then binge it for a week or two and then go back to other games until I decide to play this one again. I suspect it will remain installed on my machine long after other "AAA titles" have been played and discarded. There are just some games that have that "one more turn" appeal, and this one falls firmly into that category. Each cycle (day) more things get accomplished and more progress is made, and you look forward to the next one each time. There are still some confusing concepts and the difficulty has varied dramatically over the course of the development. I am still trying to decide if it's hit a sweet spot or if there are still pits/peaks on that front.
   
   The short answer is that this is a fun strategy game that looks small at first but has an amazing amount of depth and complexity once you get into it.… Expand

The first time is the worst, but you get better fast. Once you learn the basics, the game starts to open up. You have to work with what you have, and it is a challange. You would be amazed how much you learn in actual real world science as well. The fact that this game is still in early access is great, because there is going to be more content in the future. I love this game very much.… Expand

The game progression takes a bit to get used to. Effectively going from one emergency to another. Some come up slowly, others more quickly.
   
   I thought I had power all sorted out when I found a gas vent. Found out later that the gas wasn’t producing as quickly as I had hoped leaving me with a huge power emergency mid game.
   
   Can’t wait to see the finished product!… Expand

Probably, but here's the thing: I would only recommend you do NOT play this game if, like me, you don't do well with technical jargon & math. Want an example: here's a line FROM A BEGINNER'S DISCUSSION on the game in a discussion thread:
   
   "1 Steam Turbine's cooling equals (525-450)K*4.179kJ/kg/K*10kg/s=3134kw per second"
   
   I can't cope with that statement, and that's JUST for one item within one branch of a whole bunch of stuff you need to balance.
   
   Having said that? I did give it a couple hours of playtime to test it out. Because it is a seriously adorable game and I love it and wish I *could* play it. The animations are cute, the critters are cute, the characters are cute, even the dang materials are cute. The game as a whole is really well done and I'm sad that I tend to get confused when numbers and technical jargon start muddying the mix, because I really would like to play more! So yes, if the above sentence makes you ask "what's so confusing about that?" then you are probably gonna love this game, and you should buy it and play it now, and while you're at it, could you please enjoy it enough for the both of us?… Expand
