    It was fun and interesting. It looked really interesting. I would play it again on different planets on Planetbase. I would put things on high priority if you need it quickly. I enjoyed the music and sound affects. If you don't know a lot of science then it would be good for learning. I enjoyed playing with a partner. I would not play it by myself. I would rate it a 7.

    The game was annoying and confusing, we didn’t know what to do half the time and there weren’t easy ways to figure it out. To make this game better we suggest creating a more detailed handbook to answer any more complicated questions that come up while playing.
    The warm colors were too pastel and the art style was very blocky and basic.
    We wouldn’t play this game again because we didn’t

    We wouldn’t play this game again because we didn’t find not knowing what to do half the time fun.
    As for the learning aspect, it gave a basic understanding of what is needed to survive on another planet.
    When it comes to playing with a partner it’s better to bounce ideas off of a partner so they can point out things you would miss if you were playing by yourself.
    Over all we give it a 7 because though we may not have enjoyed playing it the game is well thought out and definitely one of the more accurate simulation games we’ve played.

    The good:

    - relaxing
    - mods
    The bad:
    - lack of content
    - repetitive
    - graphic

    Summary: Nice little game, but because of lack of content only worth to buy with discount. Also you can really get bored with long sessions.

    One nice unforgiving game that may have been much better being less difficult and more varied.

    Planetbase starts off cool, as there are only few sim-builders that kill your characters after you have failed an assignment. It is too bad this game fades out after half an hour, because this really could have been something rather different and awesome.
  3. Planetbase is unforgiving with your citizens only steps away from the void. A solar flare can irradiate your workers, a stray meteor can suck the oxygen out of your habitation pods, and your crops can fail leaving your people to starve.
