The Universim

game was good when it was in early access, getting freq. updates. but once you hit space, you might as well restart, there is no more content.

plays like a completely confused idle game There is not much to do and what has to be done is a bit obscured. Every time I had/wanted to do something I had to click through a couple of menus to find where it was again. First the player does not know what is expected from him. Build new buildings? Give some orders? What has to be done? Do I have to care why the guys only collect stone but no wood? But soon there is a town hall and guys are assigned automatically to buildings. Later different types of ministries are unlocked that also take care of creating new buildings. Great, confusion is resolved as nothing is left to do for the player but to watch the game unfold. Except there is not much to unfold. I don't know what games the devs normally play but i would expect the space key as generally accepted pause key for such games?! Sure I can rebind the key but didn't bother to put even this bit of effort. Just mentioning as it is one of several bits adding to the 'huh?! whatever' moments in the game. I got the game early in EA because i expected it becomes simulation of a whole planet's ecoystem. I cannot blame the game for my expectation but it didn't get even close to this. It is not even in-depth simulation but actually quite shallow. Animals just spawn randomly. there is no actual ecosystem so it doesn't matter Random events just happenly... ok asteroids may seem to appear out of nowhere but it is so ridiculous outdated to just spawn a pack of aggro wolves somewhere. a huge set back for immersion Well, immersion... there is some walking trees running around and suddenly my town got a black market... actually it was a alien space ship landing in my town and selling me some blueprints for world wonders. So much to 'simulation' of civilization There is a tutorial for the alien black market but I got stuck to 'press trade' because it does nothing Streets, something every city sim has, do also exist but they are pre-defined at start of the game. Not sure even what the purpose of those streets is as guys running everywhere anyways. Maybe just cosmetics?! Unfortunately the streets don't look natural, don't look good, just ridiculous.

half baked

Sehr gut und liebevoll umgesetztes Spiel, zu schade dass es komplett unter dem Radar geblieben ist. Das Spiel hat viel mehr Aufmerksamkeit verdient.

If you really like games like this you may enjoy it, but otherwise you probably will not. It's kind of cool to play through once and I could see myself returning to it, but overall it feels more like a civilization simulation rather than a game with too many meaningful choices.

7.5/10 Its pretty good but I'd rather have a mode where you can do whatever you want and disable achievements and is missing some textures while you wait for new planets you are load also it should be more optimized for a game like this when not that much is on screen or to render as it looks good but isn't realistic only when you pass the Medieval time and are in a dense part It still is a fun game though

Jahrelang im EA gewesen. Damals noch gebacked. Mit Version 1.02, wars das dann. Schade.
