The mixture of genres in Nom Nom galaxy works better in some areas than others but it results on a complex game with a lot of potential. Is good to see that Pixeljunk series are back with a good game full of variety and addictive gameplay.
While there are some uncharacteristic interface and game play issues for Q-Games, the overall effect is another terrifically original take on a variety of genres.

People saying "This game is complicated and needs to be played with Wiki". No, it doesn't. Actually, it is so simple to understand that even a child's IQ is enough to get what's going on. Experience and trial and error teaches everything to you (and you've got the simulation mode to try everything. People saying "this game is a waste" (giving it a zero, are you nuts?). No, it's not. It's one of the best games ever granted by ps plus. If you don't play it, don't give it a chance, you can't love it. The more you play, the more it is full of surprises. Try the simulation mode and you won't understand how hours go by. I needed to elevate my score from 9 to 10 due to some strange individuals trying to sabotage the score of this wonderfully cute game by giving it a zero. This game is relatively simple, surely fun and most of all, very very addictive... It represents what a game must stand for. I left Battlefront for a long while to play this little, simple and original piece of art. 10 out of 10. .

Nom Nom Galaxy's campaign leaves you wanting more after its lengthy playtime. Dividing responsibilities between expanding your soup factory and automating your mushroom farms is something I haven't seen in many games.

It's modest at times, and imperfect, but there's some good fun to be had once the gameplay mechanics really kick in.
Nom Nom Galaxy is a sandbox experience with both platform and strategic/tower defense features. This particular nature make it pretty unique but also short-lived.
Nom Nom Galaxy isn't particularly exciting, but it's a whimsical little journey that does a decent job at world building. Despite the fact that people are probably clamoring for "more PixelJunk Monsters" as we speak, I'm glad that Q-Games continues to try new things.
Uncharacteristically watered-down. [Aug 2015, p.121]
Nom Nom Galaxy is a functional game with good art direction, sound, and story; however, I found that I was forcing myself through each level without really being engaged in the process. I do have a strong urge to go make some soup though.
This game has a nice calm atmosfear to it. Seems very simple but as time prograsses things can get pretty hectik. I found this game strangly addicting and calming, the music and art style is superb. For this price its an absolute steal.

Interesting small game. Combination of terraria (digging and exploration of undeground), building strategy (use the resources to create soup factory) and little bit of tower defence (competition sometimes attacks you. You need to deal with them).
Main difference from other digging games is goal (100 percent market share). And it does not take so long to reach it. So this is not a infinite game, but nice arcade, where you can finish level in few hours. (but dont be afraid, there is long campaing)
The biggest trouble with this game is the slow start. As you progress between the missions you unlock new technologies. So at the begginign you can build just the basics and you need to manage almost everything in the base by yourselft. "Harvest, insert, ship, repeat" can become boring grind.
But if you pass this stage, you will unlock new tools that will allow you to automate these task. So you dont have to do them yourselft. And game becomes much deeper (building the chains of harvesting robots and robots moving stuff around) and much more fun.
It is not a game for hundreds of hours. But of the cheap price, it is worth the try.

The Pixel Junk brand is synonymous with simple little arcade games. This is not a simple little arcade game. This is a stick your nose in a wiki page for hours and still have no clue about what is going on in this game.
The concept is unique and the closest approximation of games to compare it to is rymdkapsel crossed with Terraria. You are manage a system of production but are manipulating systems by controlling a digging platformer character. The developers clearly wanted to keep the game controller friendly but while playing it you will wish it was a mouse and keyboard game as there is so much going on at once and you need fix it immediately.
A good review is written by someone who has mastered and understands everything going on in a game. I guess this is a terrible review because after playing for hours and hours I still can’t tell you why my AI guy won’t pick up those stupid plants and make me some damn soup so I can send it on the friggin rocketship into outer space.
You're probably saying “didn’t you do the tutorial?”. Yes I did the tutorial. It was one of the worst tutorials I have ever done and it explained almost nothing. I failed one of the tutorial levels six times because I had no idea what I was doing.
Overall I am sure there will be a lot of fans that will love this deep game and perfect the art of making outerspace soup but I wish the Pixle Junk brand would go back to the simplicity it is known for.

The score of this game is matter of taste. If you enjoy wasting time with Terrarias and others, welcome. In rest it has a too slow start and the tutorial is not sufficient if not worse. I was attracted by the trailer, but the result of me trying to play this game was zero.

The game is very slow, and feel very sluggish and over complicated. The jumping mechanic is awful, and I don't recommend this game to anyone that want's to have some fun.

Summary Nom Nom Galaxy is a sandbox-styled mix of platforming, base building, tower defense, and good old fashioned monster-stomping! You'll create huge factory-bases where you'll experiment with tons of ingredients, make hundreds of types of soups to feed the galaxy, and rise in the ranks of the Soup Co.! Each planet will have it's own challeng...
