Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Great Game but don't buy, just download the Cortex Command Community Project: adds bit more stuff, and has mostly all steam workshop mods ported over there, and has a tool that lets you easily port steam workshop mods.13 found this helpful
Long time fan of Cortex command and this review is solemnly so you avoid this version of the game, it used to be fine (Mod wise) but since their last update it doesn't seem to register mods in any way shape or form, there is however a community made version of the game that I highly recommend. It may not have all the mods that this one used to be able to play but it truly is still cortex command all the same. Wish this one got a little more love/attention, but it is what it is. Fun game, but need mods for the full experience in my opinion. also the community made project is free!3 found this helpful

It's a fun game. Had it for a long, long time. Devs didn't [i]really[/i] finish it I'd say. It's something to screw around in, but you'll be met with the constant flaws that the game has since Data Realms didn't fix them much over the years when they were around. Community made a lot of good mods for it in the steam workshop, but that's about it. I wouldn't recommend this game if you're looking for something long lasting. It'd be best to get Cortex Command when it's dirt cheap.1 found this helpful
What the ♥♥♥♥ am I even supposed to do? Tutorial is no help. Super frustrating gameplay.
If I press the escape key to pause, I should be able to unpause without waiting 3 whole seconds.
