Plan B: Terraform is pretty calm and going, but far from a simple game sent to me by the fine folks over at Gaddy Games. The concept is simple. With Earth no longer being in very good shape, take this newly discovered planet and turn it into something humans can live on. You will do this in various ways. Start small with mining the resources that can be used to build factories. These factories can be used to build different buildings that eventually lead to things like greenhouse gas generators or to dig up ice to make rivers.
Now, if you are wondering if this only matters in the background, it doesn’t. There are shifting weather patterns; it will eventually start to rain on your planet, for example. (hopfully) And like many games before it, the main goal here is to automate as much of it as possible. Think Factorio without all the stuff trying to kill you.
But is the game good? Honestly, the game has Mostly Positive reviews and Steam and rightfully so. The game looks nice and plays well. The tutorial isn’t bad, but admittedly could be better, but it will get you to where you need to be. The game, however, is very much a mileage will vary situation. I didn’t really enjoy my time with the game, and that is very much on me. As much as I normally enjoy games like this, I just couldn’t get into the flow of this one. It isn’t that I couldn’t figure out what to do; I absolutely could. I just didn’t find any joy in doing it. It is still a 7/10 game, and if you enjoy games like this, it is worth playing. It just isn’t for everyone. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
