    Good:
    - gfx and music are nice
    - UI is well designed

    So-so:
    - the game is really casual, without much depth. All you do every turn is: 1) click on a location on the fringe of the explored area, 2) pick 1 building from random 3, maybe build 1-2 buildings in a base, 3) maybe build a mine, 4) maybe plant some bacteria. That's all. Randomness of exploration loot and available buildings make this a rather relaxed game

    Bad:
    - nothing really

    Overall, this game is okay though it would probably work better in a simpler 2D version in a web browser or on a mobile phone (would need some f2p monetization though). Just not sure its simple systems are worth the slick 3D presentation.
