The Fermi Paradox

As other recent reviews have pointed out, this game seems to have lost support. That being said, its current state wasn't too dissimilar to how it was on release, though that's not exactly for the better. This game has a lot of potential in its concept, but even ignoring small grievances, (such as the flare system, (which was improved over the demo, to be fair,) needing to zoom in on every planet to check civilization stats, etc.,) it's annoyingly feature-bare. The diversity of options isn't really noticed beyond implication; aquatic species don't really have much bearing beyond making it slightly harder to track their progress, machine empires aren't actually all that fun to play with, the variety of species selectable are amazing but purely cosmetic, and contact events between species are- while unique- boring and read out as unreasonable. While it wasn't optimal gameplay, you can sacrifice the morality of every species to have them all avoid extinction more or less permanently and still have a little wiggle room. What's more, unlike what the demo would have implied, having a species naturally drop to zero population triggers an event where you can spend some of your flux (in-g…

Fun game, really enjoy the story!

Great game for the price. I enjoyed my time with it as a story generator more than trying to "win". The stories I told my girlfriend of all the different paths the civilizations were taking and events happening to them made her want to get the game as well. I will warn it is rough around the edge and you need to work with it as you learn the concepts to get the best out of it but even then for 20 dollars I had fun and come back to it every so often. To counter any abandonware talk this game has been in development for awhile and they do have slow updates. I know to some that could be a drag but I don't mind, i can come back when something big is added play around enjoy the moments and come back later. All in all I recommended it. It's not perfect but it's a good game with great potential

Honestly this is a great game and I recommend you at least give a try, the art is great, the music is good, concepts brought up in the game are good, and its mostly very relaxing except for the last.. half an hour? when you got multiple star civilizations going, also, its just really fun seeing how the art of a species changes through the ages

A great game that i keep returning to

I remember liking this game but I just went to play I couldn't read the text as soon as an option popped up. Though the resolution said 3440x1340 it did not display correctly. With these issues I can't recommend the game.
