    This is an excellent fun game that will get you pulled in similar to the "one more turn" of Civ. For the price it is definitely worth the hours you will get from it. There is a discord where the devs talk to you directly so some of the minor issues I had seem to be in the works for improvement in upcoming patches. World of possibilities with this game so one to watch going forward.

    This game is really good.
    It's a relaxing city builder, but also a good strategic game, there are new updates that keep your attenction on the game.
    Furthermore you can get it at a very low price, because it costs 16€, but with the 10€ discount of epic games, it costs only 6€, so there is no excuse not to try this game. The only limit of the game is that it is sold only on epic games    This game is really good.

    Before we Leave is a wonderfully crafted, laid back top down city builder that focuses entirely on peaceful re-colonisation. what its missing IS the whole point of the game with no wars or 'enemy' as such. if you want a chilled city builder that's focused on exploration and rebuilding of civilisation then this is for you

    Unless you play the game on Xbox or PC Game Pass (or Xbox Play Anywhere) (which won't get the last and already available content updates), Before We Leave is a super chill game experience made by a very small and nice indie game development studio in New Zealand. It's a very casual and stress-free city builder.

    If u love city building games, this game is defo for u, not huge agenda to beat some big enemy, but it is very entertaining in its own way, little bugs here and there when I`m putting down big buildings, but it doesn`t takes away from the experience. Also the price is very wallet friendly as well

    Very fun strategy that may feel like a tiny game at the beginning, but it really opens up later. It requires some thinking to create happy and well-developed colony. "Enemies" are creative add additional challenge.

    While there are some small issues like a slightly clunky and complicated interface, Before We Leave ended up being a great little sim that was pleasantly peaceful and delivered a kind of gameplay that I think will be perfect for sim fans looking for something on the lighter side. We may not get as may of these as we used to, but I’m happy we got this one.

    A pleasant little distraction to while away some time. Worth a look if you like the idea of peaceful city building, if you don’t mind not having a grand finale to work towards.

    Creating a grand interplanetary civilisation is one thing, but managing the needs and supplies of the subjects is tough work. Before We Leave makes logistics an easy, streamlined process through an intuitive UI and readability across its design. The fun lays in ironing out the kinks in your immense system and achieving a sustainable economy, all to overcome impending doom. While there is some underlying mundanity, the overwhelming joy and optimism the game extrudes from the player cannot be understated. And hey, if you grow tired of the system, you can always sabotage it from the inside to try and teach your Peeps to live free and naked.
