It really seems like it could be fun, but there are sadly many issues with this. Those being: 1. UI is terrible. It tells you nothing and is the same color as some objects, making it seem like another object. 2. There is no guidance. Some would argue there is a tutorial, but for me and many others, the tutorial bugs out, making it unreadable. 3. The game doesn't have a clear way to conquer planets. If you've found out how, congrats, many others can't accomplish that. Those are just some of the issues with this game, but they are the major ones. 2/10, has great potential and idea, just not done correctly. I will most likely come back to this game in a couple months, to see if anything has changed. So this review will likely change. Thanks for reading, and have a jolly day!

"Space Expand" offers a thrilling space simulation with stunning visuals and deep mechanics. The galaxy creation and planet generation are impressive, but the lack of clear tutorials can confuse newcomers. While the orbital mechanics and resource management are engaging, the multiplayer feature feels underdeveloped. Overall, it’s a solid choice for fans of space exploration, though some aspects could be improved for a smoother experience.

For a while, I didnt know how to play. I just clicked my homeworld, and built things and messed around with the sliders. Then, i get attacked and i survive. Then, I figure out how to play. Then, i get a big invasion at my homeworld. Then, the game gets a code error. Then, I play again. Then, the game gets a code error... again. Then, I stop playing.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy

Planet Zoo 2 price: which edition, and when it gets cheaper

Planet Zoo 2 is out today. The Planet Zoo 2 price splits two ways, the cheap pre-order keys stopped existing three weeks ago, and the original got dearer as the sequel landed.
