“Clunky controls, gameplay that feels more punishing than rewarding, and technical issues keep me from experiencing the “breathtakingly beautiful journey” the game promises. Nova Antarctica is simply a complete miss.”

“Bridge Constructor Studio pretty much met my expectations for a casual game. The game is great for bridging (pun intended) waiting times or boredom. It's a fun physics game that lets me choose whether to build efficiently or creatively. In difficult scenarios, I would like to see more help options.”

“I was on the verge of abandoning the review. After completing the short tutorial, I was faced with the task of teaching myself the game in the campaign through learning by doing. Important information is too hidden, too much micromanagement requires my attention, too many functions are simply not accessible to me. But it's worth persevering through the initial difficulties. After I've warmed up to the game a little, I realize how many possibilities are open to me.”

“I love analyzing and improving the processes in the game. I spend many hours observing my ants and tinkering with the system. Again and again I make mistakes and work out ways to fix them. It's great fun - especially because “Microtopia” is not one of the usual "conveyor belt games".”

“Foundation is one of the most lovingly designed city-building games currently available and offers much more scope for creativity than other construction games thanks to the numerous modular buildings.”
