This not only hsa such a nice plot (and interesting style for the visuals), but actually serves as a nice introduction to the citybuilder genre in my opinion. Please let me know of more better games for such a role

A fun, but challenging, city builder in space with an interesting story. Save often!

This one's really good. Scratched my Frostpunk and Satisfactory itch in the same way. I like the writing and the events are unique and satisfying. The story is neat too, very enjoyable for your local space autist. Good music too. The only way I could describe it is if Frostpunk 1 just kept going instead of having fixed scenarios with end points. Exactly what I wanted out of the first game. Just keep building and building and building. I must've rebuilt my ship fully from the ground up 5 or 6 times throughout the game until finally being satisfied with my layouts. New technology meant new reasons to rebuild. Final two acts I didn't even do anything cause I was just stockpiled up, which was fine with me 30 hours in. That's not to say it doesn't have flaws, ohboy. Some of the mission objectives are very poorly thought out, like having to de-thaw 2,000 crew members before you can continue, starting when you receive the mission. This leads to some people having already de-thawed 2000 members and now they're just ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Having to train Colonists to your exact unemployed amount, and if your unemployed amount increases, you now have to seperately train that singular new colonist, but before he's finished, two more new unemployed show up. Now you have to train those two, too. I also didn't learn core mechanics of the game till act 2, act 3, and even on act 4. The tutorial doesn't cover the keybinds, ie: Tab in build mode, or alt in exterior view. Also had to search up to learn the research trees have secondary trees inside them. The difficulty can be fully customized which I immensely respect. I wouldn't've finished this game otherwise. Turned off: Vohle jump depretion, permanent hull drain Opened sectors depletion, permanent hull drain Cryopod build-up penalty Homesickness penalty Deaths penalty Accidents frequency halved. I found this to be a fun setup, I didn't care for the stability mechanic at all. Most stability debuffs are permanent, and most positive ones are a temporary +10%. You get penalized for staying in a sector too long, for your crew who died 5 years ago, and many more dumb things I just didn't wanna engage with. Why is recycling -1 stability, I get you could say it's stinky, but recycling is cool and good and free resources.

En serio que este juego está hecho para que nunca se pueda avanzar realmente?. Surgen problemas aleatorios cuando todo va bien, y si consigues tener todo controlado te arruina en nada. Pienso seriamente que los algoritmos están hechos para que nunca puedas triunfar

I loved this game at first, but the game does absolutely not respect your time. The pacing is so slow that it took me multiple days of playing to finish it and the whole time I felt like I was doing nothing of substance. You are mostly staring at resources going up or down. Then waiting some more. The ending was unsatisfying.

As others may have said, "Frostpunk in space". It's definitely harder at first, and more demanding earlier. That chapter 2 difficulty spike nearly killed this game for me (this is coming from someone who beat Frostpunk on survivor mode) but once you get over it, the difficulty and pacing feels much more manageable. This provided that addictive "constantly on the edge of survival, but constantly researching, becoming more efficient, and becoming better" gameplay loop that the first FP did very well. Story, music, and presentation are all quite good as well.
