About Before We Leave

✦ AI summary

Build thriving settlements across islands and planets by gathering resources, managing happiness, and trading between hexagonal lands in this relaxing city builder. Uncover ancient technologies and overcome cosmic challenges while crafting a peaceful solar system without combat or conflict.

Rediscover what was lost and nurture your reborn civilisation in Before We Leave, a city building game set in a cozy corner of the universe. Grow, gather and manage resources to help your settlements thrive, and share goods between the hexagonal lands and planets around you. Relax and expand the fabric of your growing societies and create a solar system of happy planets at your own pace. Not everything will go your way, though - use your wits and research solutions to overcome the challenges that your ancestors once faced.

FEATURES

  • Build settlements for the newly emerged Peeps
  • Discover and research the ancient technologies around you
  • Manage resources, pollution and happiness to avoid the mistakes of your ancestors
  • Trade between your settlements by sea and by space
  • Explore six unique biomes on islands of all shapes and sizes
  • Protect the Peeps from ancient beings that guard the galaxy

THE STORY

Your Peeps have spent generations underground. They’ve missed the caress of sun on skin, the squelch of soil between toes, the tickle of flies on noses. They emerge, full of wonder, but with no idea how to grow anything - except potatoes. Start rebuilding their lost civilisation by providing shelter, uncovering ancient technology, and expanding this reborn society to other continents and planets.

But the universe is not safe. Ancient, ancestral guardians demand attention and challenge your settlements - it’s up to you to circumvent these creatures that hamper progress and disturb your newfound peace.

There are no weapons, no battles with neighbours for control of resources - just you, and a solar system full of opportunities.

✦ AI summary

Before We Leave is a casual city builder that offers engaging resource management and exploration mechanics across multiple islands, with players particularly praising its satisfying shipping and logistics systems. The game excels as a relaxing, low-stress experience for a few hours, though it becomes repetitive over time and some find its later-game restrictions frustrating; additionally, the music and lack of narrative are common complaints. Players suggest picking it up on sale rather than at full price if the core loop appeals to you.

A nice game for a few hours. Its simple and the mechanics work well. Later it does become a bit repetitive, but those who like its core gameplay loop and want a more casual experience will enjoy it.

I prefer a game with a story. This game also has incredibly irritating music.

As with most city builders, it starts out fine but then gets tied up in knots of "you can't do this, you can't do that." I'm tired of trying to untangle all the requirements to do the next thing.

Not great but not terrible and actualy semi engaging for a little while - buy on sale.

Ein wirklich schön gemachter City-/Worldbuilder ohne große Kampfoptionen, wo es hauptsächelich um Exploration, Ressourcen- und Zufriedenheitsmanagement geht. Man kann später mehrere Welten besiedeln; dann ist auch schon ordentlich was los. Dann spielt auch die Transportkomponente eine immer größere Rolle.

Great game! I played this on gamepass a few years ago and it really kept me busy and entertained when I was unemployed. I totally forgot the name of the game or I would have gotten it on steam sooner-- was so happy to find it again! This game does a magnificent job of getting you to comfortably juggle multiple management mechanics. You set up an island, then that island can create resources that the next island needs-- the shipping and resource balancing is amazing, I love it so much, very fun mechanic to manage and play with. While I only just got the steam version today, I definitely logged a few dozen hours on the xbox version-- and that was without even dipping into the space mechanics! So to be clear, I can't vouch for any of the space or beyond mechanics. I would imagine there are more planets to explore and you could just keep growing and growing. The only flaw that this game has, and its a great flaw, is it feels like it could go on forever. It's something that makes it very engaging and fun to play, but also, if you take a moment to get up and leave the game for a second, it's easy to get overwhelmed when you come back like "woah, I'm in the middle of SO MUCH right now!" I…
