Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I had wanted this game for ages and finally got it for a decent price. It really isn't what I thought it was. It's not really a colony builder as such it's more of a plunder the planet as quickly as possible before your competitors do it…”
“The game itself is serviceable, but it’s buried under relentless, kindergarten-style moralizing about sustainability and anti-capitalist themes. This heavy-handed approach completely undermines what could have been an otherwise enjoyable…”
