    TBH, I think this is a game that requires a certain type of player. First and foremost, you need to crave a challenge. Too many people fail a few times and give up on a game. A good example of this is Dark Souls... either you love it or you quit before the first boss. If you love Dark Souls and also love strategy games, you'll love this game. Patience is also absolutely required. If youTBH, I think this is a game that requires a certain type of player. First and foremost, you need to crave a challenge.

Another thing... manage your landing permissions very carefully. Good luck!… Expand

    Easy to learn but also difficult to solve it. Great game which is not so expensive.

    I like aspects of Planetbase, and I want to like all of it because it’s a nice premise, but it’s really hard to look past its frustrating aspects. The slow pace of expansion can make it a relaxing game to play, but when those frustrations creep in it wipes out any chance of relaxing. In a world where Cities: Skylines exists as such an excellent city-builder on Xbox One, Planetbase suffers in comparison. Going from landing party to self-sufficiency to thriving extra-terrestrial metropolis is a pleasing arc, but at times the game conspires against your efforts to play it.

    Overall, this is a game that I quickly became immersed in and one of the few review games that I will continue to play and replay even after my review is finished!

    Planetbase is a space simulator where players have to lead a group of space settlers who are trying to form a base on an isolated planet. It is a complex proposal where players must manage different type of resources to have success. There are 29 structures which user can build to use the different resources with the help of 4 types of settlers and 3 robot units, facing all the difficulties off each of the 4 environments that Planetbase have. It's a different way to become a Pathfinder, something that fans of this genre will appreciate.
