    A deeply complex space strategy game in which you must build your own colony on an inhospitable planet and manage even the tiniest details. All the endings and scenarios will take you a while to discover. The weaker points are its combat system and stupid colonists.

    I have no doubts that the Steam Workshop will do wonders with this game. If modding is supported properly by the developers, which it appears will be the case, we could have some seriously impressive mods down the line. I’ve already played around with the Beyond Stranded mod that adds a bunch of new traits, survivors, and expeditions - it’s a clear indicator of what is possible given enough time and effort. As it stands, though, Stranded: Alien Dawn is already a good game, but with more customization, narrative elements, scenarios, and general expansion on some solid foundations, it can become a great game.

    Stranded: AD may not contain an entire galaxy’s worth of possibilities, but it knows how to keep you curious about your little patch of land, and it's a pleasure to watch your survivors feast on the fruits of their labour–whether they be beefberries, graincob, or buttermelons.

    A colony simulation with 3D graphics while maintaining the gameplay and concept of "Rimworld".
    It's mostly interesting, but even as    A colony simulation with 3D graphics while maintaining the gameplay and concept of "Rimworld".
    It's mostly interesting, but even as technology advances, the character's movement speed doesn't change, which makes it frustrating.

    I think it was necessary to at least have specifications such as increasing travel speed once the roads were maintained. Also, the speed at which equipment deteriorates is so fast that production cannot keep up with it in the early stages.

    Installing a MOD would solve the problem, but it would have been better to enjoy it in its vanilla state.    … Full Review »

    Abysmal... Crashes all the time on a 4080 with a 12900... I'm not even sure why games are released if they have this many bugs.
