I finished a single player map on a normal difficulty. Pushing around power blobs around stationary power blobs. I suppose any game can be described simply but seeing beyond the curtain flattened the experience.

I finished a single player map on a normal difficulty. Pushing around power blobs around stationary power blobs. I suppose any game can be described simply but seeing beyond the curtain flattened the experience.

Like other 4x games, the win screen is an underwhelming sudden halt compared to the scope and heated chase of one-more-turn. A nice touch when a win unlocks features towards your larger empire.

I enjoyed the hero and unit customization. The dungeon like hexes and the flavour they provide were a highlight. Still, its left me with a sense that my time could have been spent elsewhere.

Whether its the environment, denizen or colour pallet, each element fights for your attention and exudes a well meaning but aggressive ocular volume.

The gameplay loop, while pointing to a grand symphony, feels to be a truncated, repeated chorus, in spite of its vast crunchable numbers.

Whether its the environment, denizen or colour pallet, each element fights for your attention and exudes a well meaning but aggressive ocular volume.

The gameplay loop, while pointing to a grand symphony, feels to be a truncated, repeated chorus, in spite of its vast crunchable numbers.

The UI and square thumbnails are functional in clarity ( a must in 4x ) but still feel apart from the whole, as if noticing overly enthusiastic flutist toots.

I still like the beat, but I want to like it more.

Monday Multiplayer has switched gears.

Anno 1800 was engaging but managing anything more than 3 islands made conversation difficult.

Planetfall has much more considerate pace in a multiplayer setting but grinds to a halt for manual combat. It will be a must to get our heroes into respective fights for co-op battles, otherwise watching a friend play is disastrously boring. …

Monday Multiplayer has switched gears.

Anno 1800 was engaging but managing anything more than 3 islands made conversation difficult.

Planetfall has much more considerate pace in a multiplayer setting but grinds to a halt for manual combat. It will be a must to get our heroes into respective fights for co-op battles, otherwise watching a friend play is disastrously boring. This lurch made worse, having purchased the DLC. A blue whale sized buffet with a tablespoon to enjoy it.

A row of unemployment had me eventually playing this all day.

I miss it.

Its the most fun I've had while feeling guilty of having said fun. I do recall it being a concerning time sink though.
