Seasteader

Bought it at a discount - recommend Tropico instead. Why? Seasteader seems unfinished. No easy overview, overlays or layouts. Gameplay is very slow and there is nothing to do while waiting. And you wait a lot. Annoying example: You can set rent for a house and set the same for all other buildings of the same type already built. New building of that type? Remember to check the pricing on that, as the pricing is set to the norm and not your own. Excuse me as I go play Tropico..

I bought the game and have played it for the past hour and really like the sandbox game

Yes someone is right, this is a cheap tropico clone, with simplier graphic, music and UI. it offers less playability, and very much less realistically simulated commute traffic. Bought on 75% discount, so no much complain, kinda a relaxed game if you just want to see money rolling in.

Very nice, I think this game but something really special if the devs stick with it. Sort of rerminds me of the movie Waterworld..lol The game at first seemed very bare, and then there was a time when it seemed it may fall victim to the release and abandon syndrome so common on Steam. But my hopes were renewed when the new update came oput and I finally felt safe enough to get it. I love the atmosphere and the potential of being a "Banished on the water" and was very happy to see evidence of it still being worked on by the release of the new update adding a little content. I hope the developer keeps expanding and polishing what could be a really great game when fleshed out. even more. Been fun so far and I can safely recommend supporting this game now since it seems it's being stuck with and continuing to be improved and fleshed out with more content.

I'd say it's quite an OK game, but certainly not worth the price. It feels unpolished and generally unfinished. I got it on 80% discount, and I still feel that it was too much. Moreover, apparently the game is abandoned as the last update was released more than a year ago.

If you like an economics game that can be challenging, this is a good game. The game is polished in some ways, and not in others. It is truly a money management game in production, imports, exports, and choosing what to produce and sell based on the world and domestic markets. If you like that, this game has some playability for you. The game can be considered a calm, almost dull game. First time playing, you definately should take the short tutorial to learn how everything works. You try to keep the needs of your citizens fulfilled as you set pricing on their rent, choose their wages, etc. You are pretty much the owner of a company town, but at sea. Don't expect some crazy great graphics or anything to surprise you. This is a humble game, and it is truly focused on the management and money. The developers (as of Dec 2017) have admitted to losing money on this game and are focusing on their real jobs, but they are still active in the community and releasing updates on their schedule. They seem genuine and honest, and that is a great trait to have. With that said, the full $30 price is very steep, and sadly, I wouldn't pay full price for it. But at it's current state while on sale for $6, the game is good. I am happy I supported this early access game. But I want buyers to know, this isn't for everyone. It is a niche game. If you know what to expect and like this stuff, you will find a lot of enjoyment and reward from Seasteader.
