Thrive

Complex systems, I struggle to "Thrive" as my cell eats all the Iron reminding me to focus on a secondary source of ATP. It is exactly the game I was looking for I am extremely interested in biology, genetics, and evolution. This game also brings a good mix of educational, functional, and entertaining gameplay.

Now, I wish there was a neutral recommendation option. It has a really fun idea and I personally got the game because it reminded me of Spore. But overall, I don't think I'll play more of it. The way the cells and upgrades, evolutions, everything, works in this game can be intimidating at first (not a bad thing). There's so many options to choose from, but that also makes it fun. But sadly in my opinion, the game gets quite repetitive after a while. Idk, I guess I expected more gameplay, and to be able to evolve even more?? I also had issues with launching the game at first, but that might also just be my PC and not the game itself.

A really fun cell game grounded in real science.

So far it's a great experience. Just challenging enough. While it may be compared to the classic, Spore, its far more in depth and complex. Where Spore is very much theatrical and cartoonish about it, this plays on a more serious tone. It is early access, and I just hit the wall of how far it's currently developed. Thoough even to where I am now, it plays functionally, Eagerly await it's progress.

I wanted to love this game. Or at least like it, as curiosity to pass the time. Unfortunately the mechanics on how to move are unintuitive and difficult and sometimes, just random it appears. The explanation on how to move is almost as bad as the mechanics it tries to explain. I tried 3 times to understand the settings and it's clunky and sloppy and my cell was only travelling where I wanted it to, by shear luck. . If it's this hard just to move with some control I can only imagine anything else is just as frustrating and annoying. Thankfully, it's cheap.

Who wants to press WASD and move a cell around? Is this a 2000s flash game? I want to watch my cells compete.
