I've had this forever, bought it on release I think. Just could never get into it due to the difficulty, but I decided to give it a genuine attempt today. It's pretty good!
If played on the higher difficulties, it's a game that is more about mitigating damage than it is about thriving. Things are going to go wrong, no way around it, figure it out. I just wish there was a bit more meat on it then. It feels like a smaller, tighter Frostpunk, but without the moral implications. A bit more of a narrative, a connection to your crew, and these decisions might feel more impactful. As is, when my characters cannibalize someone, it's just a question of how much their stress meter will go up. Still a simple fun way to kill a few hours, pick it up for $5 bucks or less.
