This game is very pretty, very serene, but WAYYYY to frustrating to play.
It's not a strategy game, it's a PUZZLE game.
You will get a random assortment of buildings to construct on each map, and your job is to figure out how the hell you'll be able to restore the environment with what you have in three phases. Reduce Toxic ground and restore grass, then establish 3 keystone biomes, then deconstruct your buildings and ensure the environment is ideal for the wildlife.
PROBLEM. You will only be allowed a SINGULAR UNDO for a building until phase 3, so once something is place, you'll be unable to remove it until that phase. So unless you are keeping track of every single little nuanced detail (how many buildings a power building can attach to, how close power buildings can be together, how close ENVIRONMENT changers can be together, how much grass, un-watered land, and toxic land you have, what you're expected to place and what requirements it has, ETC, ETC, ETC, ETC, ETC), you can quickly land yourself in an un-salvageable corner, forcing you to restart...except this game has random generation, so unless you go out of your way to copy the Lat/Longitude coordinates that make up the see system, and enter them at the map screen to lock in a seed, you'll be restarting a whole new seed every time. And that's not even mentioning making ideal conditions for the wildlife in Phase 3, (which you will not be able to see UNTIL phase 3, after you've placed all the biomes). The amount of restarts I've had to do because I either ran out of building currency, had no more viable land to terraform, or just could not meet the ideal conditions of an animal...are too numerous to count.
Game looks pretty, plays well, but the gameplay is [b]INSUFFERABLE[/b].
