I knew I'd love this just from a short trailer, a game where you make everything nice and green again? I'm in!.

A cracking game I don't think we've quite hit on whatever deep down feelings that makes this sort of game so satisfying, Splatoon, The Unfinished Swan, games where the mechanics revolve more around changing the environment, reclaiming it are incredibly satisfying and interesting and I'm only happy to see more coming with the hope that developers are starting to see the power of this (I feel) underutilised mechanics.

I also love how the game comes up with some great puzzles for cleaning up the environment, its not straightforward (why would it be?) and as time goes on, complicated systems becomes simpler and satisfying, and sometimes obvious solutions to the games problems will leave you feeling like a dope for not thinking of them (maybe not, maybe im just the dope).

Worth a try if you like city builder style games, its a different sort of game in the same area, but worth a try if you like games in general.

The only downside, not really even a downside is the short length. I'd love another planet to clean up in the future.
