Solar Nations 2

I've definitely gotten more than $10 of fun out of this game!

Rough around the edges, completely unbalanced, but incredibly interesting. There aren't too many games out there within this niche (Terra Invicta might be the closest?). A lot of people are leaving bad reviews over balance or AI or systems that most likely will be changed throughout the game's development. Lots of potential with this game and I'm extremely excited to see where the dev takes this.

This game is awsome

This game does a good job as a world simulator, and the 2025 scenario gives a good starting point for "what if" play styles. It is rough around the edges, but I have had no crashes or game breaking bugs. It is complicated and it is hard to make sense of what is really going on, but it is fun (if you like micro-managing). Bonus points for the game because people are crying that their country isn't better. But what other game would let you have "Yankee culture" stormtroopers from Ohio rampaging across the solar system... Now for the finer points- Pros- 1. It is rare for a game to use real-world categories and names to accurately describe how the world works. As a sim game, there are a lot of "un-savory" options like nuking people and biological warfare. 2. The game does not shy away from modern concepts like - "giving power to Bureaucrats" and the cost of relying on welfare. it gives you the levers to pull. 3. The scope of the game is what got me interested. It is interplanetary. I hope the devs keep working on this game and expands features. There is so many possibilities. 4. The price is right for the game. You kind of have to keep it in mind while playing because it is rough. If this game was $20-$30 I would have given it a negative review. Cons (I will try to keep this list to things I feel are do-able) - 1. Despite how complicated the game is, it simplifies too many things. a) The economy. The economy needs work for realism. The game revolves around taxes and not production (creating things). Production facilities are only use for bonuses or as large-scale prerequisites (or for taxes). For example, you don't make a second steel plant because your industries need more steel. You would only do because it generates taxes. You technically don't need more than one steel plant to travel to the stars. The game abstracts sooooo much and just calls it money. I think there should be a "steel" prerequisite on most or all buildings and you should have a pool of all of your steel production. I could write a book about the economy, but I will sum it up as this - the game makes it so you don't HAVE to build anything. You just need tax money, so you build things to generate tax money. ... I have a lot more to write, but I have to cut it short I will come back and write more ...

It is still at the point where you can find funny bugs to exploit. I want to conquer the solar system also.

Perun brought me here. Solid title for one guy and a dream. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Really good game for its price and in general (the ui is pretty ♥♥♥♥ but its nothing serious). Also the multiplayer is pretty stable.

Incredibly autistic but very fun with friends. Would watch China get saturated with nukes and bioweapons again

this game is great it does need some balancing works since the ai is brain dead but the real challenge of this game is expanding and not imploding. its also tons of fun with a group of friends. solid 7.5/10

It is sort of like HOI4 meets Stellaris, both games I enjoy, so this is fun for me. It could use a bit of refining and balancing, conquest is so strong, it almost entirely invalidates diplomatic options. That aside, I have been having fun.
