Per Aspera

Started out okay, but then got to a point where it wanted me to launch a satellite but I couldn't because there was no spaceport free and I couldn't build one. Also I don't understand how to research other highlighted sites in the general area. I click on build research centre but nothing ever gets built. I find the voice of the AI rather annoying. I'll give it another go at some point but to me it is a bit meh.

Как стратегия игра хороша. Хотя хочется иметь чуть больше контроля над своими ботами. Сюжет душный и неинтересный. Описать алгоритм ии, который может сам думать или рефлексировать как человек - эту тупо.

I really wanted to like this game. I love the concept. A giant optimization game where you manage factory placement and resource distribution, and mars colonization is such a fun topic. 100% my cup of tea, but the game fails in a significant way. There are periods where, no matter how thorough I am, I can't find anything to do. I just have to sit there at 16x speed waiting. I've set up a bunch of factories to be built, have population moving in, and projects and research progressing. So now, I just have to sit and wait. And I get that occasionally has to be the case, but it feels like 50% of my time is just waiting, and there's nothing I can do to accelerate the development. I tried and tried, but I've run out of youtube videos to watch while waiting and had to confront how bored I was :\ You honestly might give it a go. The early game was very interesting, but just, go into it knowing that there's realism in the game. As in, terraforming takes a lot of time, and a lot of it is just waiting, I guess

I enjoy this game quite a lot. There's a mode where a rival faction sometimes attacks you, but I prefer peaceful sandbox mode where you build and manage facilities to transform the planet. It's extremely satisfying to turn the planet from rusty brown to green, and it's a pretty low-key game since you can do better or worse but not really lose (with the combat off, anyway). A campaign can be a fairly long project, though, taking several days to play, and when your colony gets large the build-build-build can be a bit repetitive, But the game is still a relaxing and pleasant experience.

CHAOS, nie wiesz co sie dzieje i klikasz losowe rzeczy

if you wanted to play per aspera in coop don't bother there are literally no reason to play it in coop why ? 1 person is more than enough to do everything in this game and player 1 will already be afk half of the game why ? bc the coop is only in sandbox mod no story, by doing so you miss like 70% of the game want to start on different spot of mars? only player 1 will have resources spawn near them so you can't play separately the game can also decide to corrupt the file in multiplayer making p2 instantly desync over and over and on top of that both player need to have the dlc

An interesting game, but honestly, it takes way too long to complete research, and in all of my hours I was able to play like 1.05 gameplays. All of the hours come from waiting for research to complete. I found myself needing to have netflix playing as I was gaming, which to me is an automatic no. I wish you could at least set it so there are multiple research options queued, walk away from the game, and come back to them finished. But no. You have to wait like 45 minutes for one task to complete, and then set the new one. The research times are the one thing that puts me off of this game, everything else is beautifully executed. If they add a feature like sliding scale to determine research points required where I can have it take like 10-20 minutes max for late game stuff I'd be much happier. Also, I'm adding recommendation since if you decide to terraform, you can fail, and it won't be possible in the save game anymore, and I appreciate that. Points for realism.

Logistics kills the fun for me. Bots can't complete anything in decent time, and it doesnt matter neither where and how much you place them. Half the game spent sitting on 1000's of basic resources lacking something like steel because bots can't deliver it in time. Another thing would be that the game is too slow. I literally played only on 16x and never went lower in my whole playtime, unless game forced me to x1 when event happened(god, why did you do that) Stupid bots aside - the game is good, i would probably've had fun if i didnt have to endure logistic nightmare enforced on me. Every single step you do actually changes the planet and it looks amazing.
