    Surviving the Aftermath offers sound building sim gameplay, but it loses a lot of potential due to grind and missing content.

    What you’re left with is a decent game, and that’s disappointing because it could have been more. For some reason, Paradox played it safe and didn’t build on its own and the game’s strengths. If you want a different take on the genre, it’s worth picking up on sale, but there are better and more interesting examples to spend your time and money on.

    Whilst there's lots here to keep fans of management and colony building games entertained, there's still a lot that needs to be worked on. The use of 'specialists' who explore the world map, feel like they need an overhaul so that this part of the game is more engaging, and the point of having them feels more important to the overall wellbeing of your colony.The fact it's in early management still is good, as hopefully these issues will be addressed, and the actual colony building side of the game provides a lot of fun. [Early Access Provisional Score = 60]

    This game doesn't know what it wants to be. Is it a survival game? Is it a city builder? Is it both? Maybe, but does it do it well? I wouldThis game doesn't know what it wants to be. Is it a survival game? Is it a city builder? Is it both? Maybe, but does it do it well? I would say no. It's not bad, but definitely not good. It meets in that mediocre middle that just leaves you wanting more, but never getting it.… Full Review »

    Very enjoyable - spent 40hrs to complete main quest line. A survival builder based in the post apocalyptic world. Requires resource managementVery enjoyable - spent 40hrs to complete main quest line. A survival builder based in the post apocalyptic world. Requires resource management and farming as well as research (tech trees) and exploration all in a third person view. Good story line to accompany and gave me a sense of achievement when completed.… Full Review »
