Prospector

first half of the game is fun but it feels like they didnt finish the last 25%

Hello Im Skill Incarnate and Welcome to My Games Review Series. My reviews cover indie games that i have bought, had gifted to me and have been provided by developers for review.

This is a really bad example of not learning from what inspired you. The heavy limitation on automation and production are horrendous, the finite ore mining and monotonous building of belts only fuel frustration.
