both versions of per aspera are good the vr version and flat screen version. Very much worth the play.
yes
7/10 Its a good story based game about an AI with personality issues terraforming mars. The problem I have is a few of the achievements are only doable after the credits and if you save and quit the game after being asked if you want to continue once the credits are done... You can't. The game says on attempting to load the game that the save is not compatible with the games version... I just made the save 12 hours ago and there have been no updates!!! Apparently its been a day 1 issue that's now 6 years unresolved...
The story and the logistics mechanics weren't really doing it for me by the time I reached the mark where I stopped playing; while the AI angle is cool from a narrative point of the view the storyline just... felt off and shallow. And the less I talk about the logistics of Per Aspera the better as it was infuriating to a certain extent which may be bad on my side for not understanding it, or it's something else entirely. Just my experience, man.
Deimos is expendable
