The Universim

Une blague qui a commencé il y a une dizaine d'années (je me souviens du site web attrayant...). C'est jouable, oui. Et très alléchant sur le papier d'ailleurs. Mais s'ensuivent alors un développement extrêmement lent, peu efficient, des bugs traînés dans la longueur, et un jeu finalement sorti inachevé, avec un manque de polissage, un rythme lent, des promesses qui n'ont pas été tenues, et un abandon fin 2024 après plus de 10 ans. Je suis partagé entre deux postures "enfin la fin d'une mascarade" et "quel dommage de ne pas avoir repris le projet en main"... tant l'idée de simulation divine à travers les âges me réjouissait. Bref, il n'est pas non plus impossible que vous preniez du plaisir en y jouant. Mais pour quelqu'un qui a suivi l'avancée depuis 2014 (de mémoire), difficile de ne pas glisser vers un pouce rouge...

Regarding some discussions it seems they left the Game to die .... shame

Taken as a god game, it does what it set out to do (start with two followers, slowly but steadily grow until you cover (most of) the face of a 3D world), but somewhere along the way it began to lose focus on whatever storyline the designers originally had planned out. It has a decent enough progression (starting from the Stone Age, move through a fairly linear "tech tree" through the Medieval, Industrial, and Space Ages--at least until you come to the end and the game is still bugging you to spend its "Discovery Points" on absolutely nothing at all). Don't play it expecting a coherent story; it has one, but it becomes obvious that the entire project slowly fell to pieces along the way, with the final result being a disappointing mess. Get it if it goes on sale for under $20; it provides that amount of fun per time spent, in my opinion.

Save your money. they ♥♥♥♥♥♥ us in the arse then took our money....... abandoned game. boycot them. since they got away with it now. they will do it again........... years of waiting for nothing

I have owned this game basically since it was released in Early Access. Unfortunately, I do not recommend this game to anyone. The premise of being a god and helping/punishing your civilization sounds like it could be fun. However, the game is really more about building tons of the same basic things over and over and over and over. There are games that do that right like city skylines, but this one does not. The tech tree is way too bloated with things that do not really even change the game once researched. For example, there are like 5 different tech nodes in the first era alone that only give like +1 increase to a building, and they each take like 6 minutes to research. A lot of the things in the game can be overlooked but the biggest annoyance is just how SLOW it takes to progress. Even at the fastest speed in the game it takes like an hour at a time to unlock anything meaningful (like a new building). Once you play for a bit, it becomes veryyy obvious that the game was designed to waste you time. I would not buy this again even if it was on sale for 2 bucks since it is just not fun at all.

Got bored after a few hours. I remember being so excited for this game many years ago. Now I finally gave it a chance and it's not really... complete.

60+ hours in, and I'm gonna say that this game has a ton of promise, but that's basically it. The game is pretty much dead now with no further development on it by the developers, and the worst part is that the game does not have that many mods to enrich gameplay (most of the mods are resource related) and add replayability. The game starts of pretty fun and great. You set up your colony, then expand to cover the planet. Then you move onto other planets to establish your interplanetary empire. But after a while you start to run into some crucial issues that's got to do with how you need to constantly micromanage your planets' resources and how the AI which was supposed to handle that is horrible at it. If you're interested in this game, I'd tell you to wait for a sale, but otherwise it really isnt worth the money or time. And honestly I'd just say to look elsewhere for a game to scratch your planetary empire management itch.
