Mr. Prepper

Its pretty nice and long. Its not too hard and not too stale, just a bit slow. But i have two major problems, that really killed my mood. First the radio signal, In the glasses for bob you had at least a little clue of where to get it, but that you seperately have to use the antenna was really making me angry. Also the thing with the AI core. All the time you had to interact with things to complete them, but only here you have to manually grab it and drag it to the core base. This really made me angry about the game and i dont know if i will buy the DLCs after that. Like i said the game and the story was pretty nice, but these two moments really totally annoyed me.

Please add Ukrainian localization.

At first, I wasn't sure of what to make of this one. Could a game be fun if it was pretty much only the base-building section of X-COM 2? And my initial impression wasn't favorable: it seemed to have all of the downsides of a slow, dull farming game with all of the downsides of a game where the combat is basically "spam the attack button". And as I got out of the early game and realized that sooner or later, I was going to have to farm AND go to the mine AND go to the forest every day or most days... yikes. But once I got into the mid-game, Mr Prepper made a believer out of me: this is a game that gets progressively more fun the longer you play it! This applies to every system in the game. As you upgrade your workbench, the systems that you were sure could not be automated suddenly become automated -- sometimes without you noticing it. Farming becomes less of a chore as water transfers automatically into your crops. The mine becomes less of a chore as you gain the ability to refine your own fuel. That opens up the desert, which has more dynamic, fun combat... don't get me wrong, it's still not challenging but at least it becomes interesting and engaging. The forest never stops being a chore but at least you get some nice rewards out of it. As your various input materials improve, your ability to make money quickly improves, which in turn gives you the ability to automate more and more functions and before long you have a lovely little engine going. It was particularly interesting how all of this kind of snuck up on me: every time I played, my enthusiasm to play more went up. So kudos to the devs for building this fun, engaging system. I'm enjoying myself a lot! The graphics are... the graphics. They're about as good as they need to be for this kind of game. You'll never ooh or ahhh over your creations, but you'll get satisfaction out of setting them up and organizing them. The music and sound effects, likewise, is also just good enough to work. You'll quickly associate the sounds with what they mean in-game even if most of them don't make a lot of sense (the only exception to the odd status sounds is that you actually get a stomach growl sound when you're hungry). And finally, the story is just interesting enough to pull you along and keep you coming back for more. It's not a stand-out, but it's not a detriment either. So, all in all, there's a really good time to be found here, particularly at the most common price. 8/10.

While the game can be a bit of a slog in the beginning, Mr Prepper offers a lot that provides a very entertaining experience. While I did not play the base vanilla version on its own, the DLC helps make your bunker almost entirely self sustaining. My only remaining hopes for the future DLCs (what few there still are) would be the ability to bring trusted members into the bunker that provide assistance, more decoration items and the ability to upgrade materials, like beds/couches being improved to rest faster or fridges holding more/cooling longer

Boring tedious time-consuming garbage.

The whole paranoid bunker-building under a totalitarian regime is such a strong hook. Early on, the vibe and story really pull you in. Managing your shelter while pretending to be a loyal citizen is genuinely cool. But the time system is brutal. A simple walk across the house eats half your day. Try crafting, exploring, and keeping the inspector happy and suddenly you’ve accomplished nothing. It quickly turns into a grind fest with questionable balance and some janky combat. Great idea but way too much grind for me. https://howlongtobeat.com/user/mentalmynx/reviews/u-67677/1
