Solarium

⠀

"Solarium" is a rather unusual "educational" game where you wander around a bunch of environments and "learn" a little about the plants. The problem is you don't learn much, and while the graphics look pretty good as far as free games, the substance isn't there to back it up. It's also not much of an educational resource if you want to learn anything about botany or biology. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming idustry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? This is a "maybe" experience... if you have a lot of free time on your hands and nothing else to do, why not? But for the purposes of a rev…

Игра "Solarium" — это увлекательный гибрид стратегии и выживания на фоне космической апокалипсиса. Графика впечатляет: яркие пейзажи, динамичные атмосферные эффекты и детализированные модели. Геймплей сочетает ресурсное управление, исследование и борьбу за выживание в условиях ограниченных ресурсов. Погружение в сюжет усиливается захватывающими квестами и неожиданными поворотами. Однако сложность некоторых механик и нестабильность оптимизации могут отпугнуть новичков. В целом — достойный проект для фанатов жанра.

a short, free, educational-ish game that is pretty good for it's small amount of developers. one of the first games i got on steam as a middle-schooler with no money. replaying it at 19 makes me nostalgic

A fun way to learn about plants, growth and other things. Pleasant and refreshing :)
