It’s a fun game where you play as a scientist and search for patterns in radio waves. When you decipher the patterns you learn how to send messages back to the aliens.

I really liked the language images the aliens use for communicating. u need to decide which word is correct for every image.

So far, the story is amazing! very unique and fun, u get to meet intresting aliens :)

I learned a lot about radio siganl and astronomy, Some of the puzzles are very hard.

Recommended 9/10

Signal Simulator

Signal Simulator

This is a great game, but conditionally. It has a certain type of audience that loves it to death, while a significant other group of people will find it monotonous, boring, and a waste of money. I’d highly recommend looking on Youtube for videos published in at least August 2019 to see the newer updates and what this game entails. This will most likely be enough to give you an idea of which group you’re in, and whether you’ll love or hate the game.

That said, I find this game very enjoyable.

Signal Simulator is an interesting one and speaks to a very specific audience: the scifi fans and space enthusiasts.

You are the operator of an array of radio antennas and scan the sky for signs of extraterrestrial radio signals, while having to look out for your battery charge (solar powered, so it drains at night), server failures and temperature of said servers. The resource management remains at a very manageable level, though, and is improvable through upgrades for you observatory. The game mechanics are easy to learn. Unfortunatly they lack a bit of variety, but it’s a simulator. I guess we expect some grind in those.

The Sapling

The Sapling

Very reminisce of Spore, but focus on natural selection and ecology which Spore seriously lacked. I completed all the current scenarios. So a 4 out 5 for me, and must buy for anyone who want an ecological game.

In a world filled with in-your-face tutorial, Sapling tutorial teach to basic and then allow the player learn the rest thru trying out all the functions and hover-over information. A serious plus.

The scenarios are both pleasing and challenging puzzles, and as I said before the scenarios teach the player how to use the game thru experimentation over in-your-face hand-holding flood of pop-up tutorials that plague the gaming world. Even once you completed all scenarios, the sandbox is actually challenging and very satisfying despite the fact everything is unlocked. With mutation and time-skip for sand-box, it allow you is more accurate natural selection.

I really love this game, I also love creating creatures to play as, or to just simply observe them evolving! Its fun to see how they would do in the wild trough a simulation. Though, this game is small and all, I’d want to be able to use a brush tool to change moisture and temperature of places, with it automatically changing the color and creating puddles or mud, maybe even a coloring tool to give the ground some color! *With this there should be an option to make the lakes not be automatically created. But also, we should be able to create our own lakes, so we can make a swamp-like environment for our creations to survive in! But really, overall I’d rate this game an 8.5/10 , one of the problems I have is lag, even with a good pc and low settings, probably due to many things moving at once all the time and the crashing. Another issue is the time cap I encountered, everything froze and I could only get past it trough a time skip, which took a whole 7 minutes to be done. But I enjoy this game alot, despite the issues. Hope you guys can develop this game to be one of the best simulation games ever!

1000 days to escape

1000 days to escape

a very worthy time waster.

it might be frustrating at the beginning when youre ignorant of the mechanics - i almost abandoned it after the few first failures. then i “cheated"and i can recommend this for beginners: i restarted until i got a good central earth position with lots of planets in the vicinity, the above helped to go further and further, learn how the game works.

now of course i dont do it anymore and play putting up extra challenges for myself (all upgrades discovered, all planets visited, all enemies conquered) so its not that hard.

A fun little game. The basic concept is, you explore a planet first, then you terraform it, and then you send humans there.

When you figure out the game mechanics and once all the jokes and quirks sink in, you’ll discover that the game features more depth to it than you may have initially thought. Your end goal is to colonize enough planets as quickly as possible whilst not losing a single earthling. So multitasking and saving time both become essential.

Launch rockets while still pouring fuel in them. Terraform planets blindly without pre-scouting them. Navigate the in-game interfaces efficiently. The game doesn’t explicitly mention any of those things, it’s up to you to experiment and to find such things out. Realistically you’ll get to see most of the content within a few hours tops, but if you get hooked with the game it’ll make itself last much longer. Personally, I enjoyed my time with it.

nice game, even if I dont play it for a year or two whenever I come back I always get the same feel as if I were playing it as a 9yr old on my moms work laptop. The replayability of this will make you keep replaying it well into… well I don’t know how old but I know I’ll probably play this game when I’m middleaged with kids and even further on when my kids are middleaged with kids. This game is such a gem and I fucking hate EA for ruining maxis this game was perfect and it could’ve been even better if it weren’t for the GREEDY CORPORATE SCUM OF EA GIVING MAXIS IMPOSSIBLE DEADLINES! THEY HAD TO CUT OUT 2 ENTIRE STAGES OF THE GAME FUCK YOU EA CORPO-SCUM! anyway best game i’ve ever played 10/10 more creative than minecraft.
