What players think
The recurring themes across 237 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
But I can also see that most things can be solved with some waste by using more chips and writing EXTREMELY simple logic (like "turn on grow lights for plants, wait 3 minutes, turn off, wait 3 minutes, loop").
Managing fluids, gasses, temperatures, materials... all of it comes together for a very satisfying (if very difficult) gameplay loop that is absolutely engrossing for hours and hours of play.
He has fun series you can watch on the game where they play both solo and multiplayer.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 5 sampled reviews and are not shown.
