Definitely a chill game with dozens of hours' worth of replayability.

I certainly do NOT, I repeat, do NOT recommend this game. You know why? Because you spend more time on loading screen than playing the actual game. I've this since early 2015, right about after the game release, and frankly, the advancement have been so little for the past 4 and a half years.

Another thing worthy of note is that some of the basic contraptions you could build are no longer available -- mill mechanism for example. Instead, there are specified blocks to function for a certain purpose and has no other use -- yes, still talking about the wind mill. One could devise a plan to field a crane over a mountain top to carry some stuff and power it with a wind mill -- but guess what, you cant do that because you cant channel/connect your wind mill to your trusty winch. Instead, you're forced to limit your possibilities because DEV dont want you to over complicate things -- things they should have fixed or at least improved.

Basic but cool enough to enjoy for a while. Though, dont expect much from it.

I'll keep it short for the sake of saving time...

For those who're interested in buying this game, it's fun and all with a group of friends, though it doesn't have a proper anti-cheat policy so if you're planning to invest in this game with your precious time, i suggest you check something else while DEVs finally decide to do something about it rather than nodding to irrational box transactions...

Just a little more extention to this review -->

This game is basically ruined by cheaters and hackers. Right now, we come by these incidents on daily basis and it's frustrating to see the devs are only idle about this topic while serving to the pleasure of the streamers. At this point It became worse than CS:GO when it comes to dealing with cheaters and hackers since there is no integrated anti-cheat system... The process is simple: "They cheat, get banned and buy the game again with the boxes they bought with in-game points which they earned unfairly and repeat the process all over again".

In any case, if your time is precious to you and if you're hot-headed like myself, this game isn't for you for now... It's too annoying to see some random guy shoot you through a mountain with a sawed-off shotgun, in my opinion...

A well executed alien invasion type of film. Just about right amount of explosions makes it even better (sorry for that Michael Bay). Job well done Oats Studios!

-Looking for a game like Battlefield but something realistic ?
-You wish to have some great Team-work experience, like something real & actual ?
-Do you want to experience an actual urban battle without people spamming explosives around the place ?
-And for the last part, do you have about an hour to fight in the same map ?

Then you should totally buy this game without any doubt. It was one of the best investments i did back in 2016!

It was a great game before -- before the latest shape of the, the game was pretty fun, you could build your own vehicle/robot as you were free to buy any part you need as long as you researched it on tech tree. It was more balanced, more fun and you had a lot of freedom and spending real money wasnt necessery to play it. Now.... now those i listed are no more.. There is a system of chance to drop parts which could be the one you seek or not. It's more like CS:GO right now, you need to buy boxes to sustain your gameplay otherwise, those who spend money on boxes will dominate the game. Long story short, if you're looking for a free-to-play online game, don't even consider this -- its like a smartphone game now... Don't play it if you ask me..

" Conducted an experiment to travel even faster, ripped the fabric of the space-time and opened a portal to another dimension by accident. Extra-dimensional invaders swarmed through the portal and swallowed most of the galaxy -- 11/10 "


First of all, i can't actually believe that Paradox came up with such a game. The mechanics are quite different than what we used to and that's a good thing in my book. Designing your ship is a great part of the game -- the game offers a lot of weapon types, some with specific bonuses like "50% Armor Penetration" or "50% Shield Penetration" type of bonuses. There are lots of other parts to place on your ships aswell. The game mechanics are quite good considering it's still new, of course it needs some polishing and on that account i have no doubt, Paradox will do the job. The only negative part i observed is that when you spawn at a random star system in the galaxy, there will be some systems around you occupied by random NPC groups (not factions) and sometimes it takes so much time get rid of them and in the process, you'll need use a large sum of materials.
Before i finish, i must admit, the musics are awesome in my opinion! And i should say something about the packages they offer which includes, most importantly, original soundtracks and a new race. But if you gonna ask if it worths the price, i'd say no. Races have no specific trait of ability so there is no point to pay for that imo. About the soundtracks, we didn't see any differences, my friend and I -- he didn't buy with a package.
In conclusion, if you like RTS games and Space genre at the same time, i'd strongly recommend you try this one out!

P.S: By package i mean (Nova for example)

Played the game, went to doctor for a full check-up.

9/10

I really like this game, it shows how fragile today's world in a basic way but ofcourse it's not all true. Cure development phase of the game is a little unrealistic. I don't want to offend people but there are a few countries that can develop and work on a cure for any disease, even for cold viruses. So on this game, even some unstable African countries can develop cure which is weird. Country informations aren't all right. And they didn't add every air and naval hub to the game. For example, in real world, Turkey, Istanbul has two large Airports and they're absent in this game. Or some urbanized countries introduced as rural countries which is weird as well. By the way, you won't be able to see every single country in the world. Including most European countries except for the Major ones like Germany, France or U.K. I recommend this game anyway because the price it has is reasonable.

Quite a simulator. There are pretty much every kind of locomotive but DLCs are too expensive. Each of them cost in range of 9.99 $ to 19.99 $ and they include only one locomotive at a time. Also you can't build a proper tram system if you have in your mind. So far they didn't release CAF company's locomotives yet. Quite a simulator. Don't expect too much. Very limited urban environment. I do recommend if you like to design your routes for fun. That's all.
