You have to create platforming, mining, construction(base building),resource-management and tower defence. Within the game players land on huge remote planets within the fictional galaxy, players will have to find new ingredients with their handy buzzsaw. Once the basic soup factory you can explore the remote plants to clear space to start expanding on what you can sell and dominate the market of the soup world.

    So that’s the basic of the game now lets get on to what I think of the game, lets start on gameplay. Well when I first loaded the game up on my ps4 it reminded me of playing Super Mario Brothers but with the destructible world of Terraria, the only difference is you have oxygen which you have to keep an eye on cause if you don’t you will not get far. Don't worry though there are oxygen pockets dotted around the planets, the one thing I loved about this game was the research to unlock upgrades to your little astro dude and even your weapons to help fight against invading enemies from rival factory's .

    Now lets talk about the galactic challenges which are a separate area to the core gameplay and really work towards social gameplay and long-term engagement with friends or even complete strangers, all the challenges are based around racing, defending, swimming and more which makes them unique as you are rewarded if you protect your position which you can transfer the them into the core game.

     Overall Nom Nom Galaxy is a great game if you like open world, build how you like indie game, it has vast features and unlocks in which you can play though to until you heart is content to unlock them. It also has quite a few trophies for you to help improve your expanding profile. Beside everything this game has to offer I feel like Pixel Junk can easily expanded this game with future DLC.

    Positives
    • Large open world planets
    • Enormous range of challenges and recipes
    • Tactical thinking when being attacked

    Negatives
    • Tutorial was a bit to long and is needed before playing with friends.    … Expand

    This game has a nice calm atmosfear to it. Seems very simple but as time prograsses things can get pretty hectik. I found this game strangly addicting and calming, the music and art style is superb. For this price its an absolute steal.

    People saying "This game is complicated and needs to be played with Wiki". No, it doesn't. Actually, it is so simple to understand that even a child's IQ is enough to get what's going on. Experience and trial and error teaches everything to you (and you've got the simulation mode to try everything. People saying "this game is a waste" (giving it a zero, are you nuts?). No, it's not.

It's one of the best games ever granted by ps plus. If you don't play it, don't give it a chance, you can't love it. The more you play, the more it is full of surprises. Try the simulation mode and you won't understand how hours go by. I needed to elevate my score from 9 to 10 due to some strange individuals trying to sabotage the score of this wonderfully cute game by giving it a zero. This game is relatively simple, surely fun and most of all, very very addictive... It represents what a game must stand for. I left Battlefront for a long while to play this little, simple and original piece of art. 10 out of 10. .… Expand

    Nom Nom Galaxy's campaign leaves you wanting more after its lengthy playtime. Dividing responsibilities between expanding your soup factory and automating your mushroom farms is something I haven't seen in many games.

    The mix of genres in the game is original, but also confusing.

    Nom Nom Galaxy is a sandbox experience with both platform and strategic/tower defense features. This particular nature make it pretty unique but also short-lived.

    Nom Nom Galaxy is a functional game with good art direction, sound, and story; however, I found that I was forcing myself through each level without really being engaged in the process. I do have a strong urge to go make some soup though.
