✦ AI summary

The Colonists is a city-building game with a relaxing gameplay loop that appeals to fans of The Settlers series, offering plenty of content and activities to engage with. However, multiplayer suffers from significant desync issues that make it largely unplayable, and some players find the core mechanics lack innovation compared to other city builders in the genre. Players suggest picking it up during a sale rather than at full price, particularly if you're interested in single-player experience.

Unplayable. Desyncs every 2m or less in multiplayer.

Took a bit to figure out the mechanics, but finding it highly enjoyable. Feels more chill than other games in this category.

It's like the orignal "The Settlers II", but with robots. On the surface a very neat game. However the main problem with the settlers was the road system halting everything to a grind at very large settlements. This game presents you with that, already in the very first mission.. A really nice game, with major balancing issues.

I looked for anything interesting that's not in the multitude of other city builders. After two hours I didn't find anything intriguing enough.
Recommended Aug 10, 2026
Outstanding game. There is so much to do and it is all fun. Yes, there are some issues with stuff not being delivered immediately or being delivered from a location far away. But who cares. No need to rush everything. Not everything is optimized in the real life either. Very relaxing, fun and cheap. Hope the dev will continue supporting this gem.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
