Barrier to entry is high, but dear God is it worth it. Play it!

A lot of people leaving negative reviews for this game simply just chose the wrong game to play.

I feel like this game mostly appeals to the factory game players. The problem is, coming from games like Satisfactory, Factorio, DSP, etc... which are all sandbox games, this game is simply not meant to give you the same experience.

This game IS NOT a sandbox game. It is a story-driven population management sim. And it is hard. Here are the major negatives as far as I see it and why I think the criticism is just wrong:

1. The game rushes me by penalizing me for staying in one place too long
2. The game needs a difficulty slider, game's too hard
3. Game is too repetitive
4. Game needs a better UI

Here are my retorts to all these:
1. The game certainly does encourage you to continue moving along, however, the penalty they give you can be easily managed and once you know how to keep your population happy, it's really not a problem
2. The game is definitely hard, I personally don't see this as a downside however. Could it stand to benefit from lower difficulty settings? Sure. But is this a reason to rate a game as bad? I don't think so. You are role playing the last of civilization surviving on a space station in the cold dark wastes of space. I can't imagine that would be very easy. Furthermore, because of the repetitive design of the game, you can learn from your mistakes and improve on your decisions with each attempt which I believe is how the game was meant to be played.
3. As stated above, the repetitive nature of this game is intended to allow you to fail, pick yourself up, and try again. Does this hurt replayability? Sure, eventually. But not every video game has to give you hundreds of ours of game time. Sometimes just experiencing a story and a game within 20-30 hours is plenty and I think this game certainly delivers that.
4. A lot of the complaints about the UI not providing enough information that I've seen comes from players just not knowing where to look. Could there be improvements? Certainly, but then, so could all games. Does the game give you all of the information you need to succeed? 100% yes, so this really seems like a user learning issue rather than a game design issue.

Overall, this game is NOT a chill sandbox game like most other factory management games. It's hard, it puts a large focus on its amazing story, and the gameplay is designed to match the dread and difficulty of surviving alone in space.

Just because a game isn't for you, or wasn't what you were expecting, doesn't mean it's a bad game and deserve a negative review. This game is fantastic for the right audience and definitely deserves your time if you want a challenging factory-building/population management game.
