  Hmm, and we have a worthy son of Forager in front of us! A skill tree, an exploration tree, biomes with their own flora and fauna, the ability to improve your equipment to make your routine easier - all of this will be waiting for us. However, I understand that patches or hotfixes will be released for this game. For example, I found several problems: 1) Recipes in the ovens have different font sizes for some reason, such as modular bricks. 2) encountered incorrect display of items in warehouses, ie, they just disappeared (but after some time may appear) UPD: I've had items disappear after I put them in a warehouse (modular bricks, iron and copper ingots, charcoal, etc). This happened at completely random moments. 3) The thing that annoyed me the most was that backpack items were disappearing, i.e. resources that I was collecting. There was a full inventory, and after restarting the game they were gone... I can say that, the game will still be refined and has a good chance of being a decent indie. Even though my gameplay experience wasn't perfect because of the bugs, I thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay. P.S. I'll be waiting for the hotfixes! UPD: the first hotfix has already been released! Glad the developers responded so quickly to bug reports

  It's pretty good. Buy it if you like factory games and you don't need everything at gregtech-level difficulty. It's charming and relaxed.

  Took 12 hours to complete the game. Forager meets Factorio meets Stardew valleyish. Good time waster thatll keep your attention. They left some areas open for future content so looking forward to the future content!

  A wonderful spiritual successor to Forager. I'm still in the early game, but if you loved Forager (esp. before the updates) then you'll love this too. I've been obsessed all morning and I'll be thinking about it all day at work... Crap. I'm late for work.

  About 20 hours to beat the game, probably 95%ed it. The space walk, boss puzzles, shipping rocket, and player house sections are all i have left but they aren't enjoyable so i probably wont. The main part of the game is well paced, I only felt like idling at the very end because i didn't want to redesign my base for optimal throughput at that stage. There are bugs, but they are the "turn it off and on again" kind of fixes, nothing that will make you have to start over. For example getting attacked while trying to move a farm took me out of the blueprint mode and then wouldnt let me move anything until i quit to menu then reentered. The music is annoying after a bit. Some of it even has parts where it sounds like the game crashed and is just blaring a weird noise it is caught on which is just overall stress inducing in a new game where there could be bugs. Completely muted it by the end. SFX was decent though so didn't mute it

  Nova Lands is a combination of Forager and Factorio which is not doing great in any aspect. Below are some small spoilers to the game (but you will experience them in the first 2 hours of the game). Pros: - Definitely feels like a Forager type of the game - Fantastic animations, sounds, soundtrack, whole visual vibe - It's nice to have since almost the beginning access to bots so it can start feeling like a Factorio type of game since the first 20-30 minutes into the game - You can do a bit more complex "base" compared to Forager (or even Stardev Valley) - Really relaxing and chilling for the first 2 hours Cons: - It's definitely not enough content for that price. Nova Lands costs more than Forager which got MUCH more content. - Nova Lands feels more like copy-paste instead of "Forager genre". The way of levelling, the skill tree, etc. Nova Lands is using these systems in a much worse way and it's not as fun as I was experienced in games from where they borrowed ideas. - Worse Factorio: Use bots (logistics and harvesting) but very limited. Yeah, you can try to create a more complex "factory" between different islands (compared to Forager) but what's the point? The "Factory must grow" type of vibe isn't here because the space is limited and the game is not offering tools to do it with the same pleasure as in Factorio (or any other Factorio-ish game). The complexity is minimal. There is no min/max concept, not much play with modules, and not much play with bots. You can try to speed up a bit this and that in your "base" but at the same time game hasn't got mechanisms to do it quickly and without pain. Nova Lands is trying to borrow some complexity from Factorio-ish games but at the same time, it's stuck in the middle and cannot deliver the proper "I have automatised my base" feeling without manual and annoying work. You cannot copy-paste to do things, you need to have all items in your equipment to build new buildings (if you haven't got proper skills unlocked) and that just feels annoying and frustrating. - Worse Forager: levelling is working odd (can be easily exploited: build the most expensive building, deconstruct it and build once again - you will have tons of XP from it and you can do it forever), skills are boring and you cannot go with all directions like Forager. Many skills are not extending the content but changing the numbers ("+15% quicker production!" - wow, so exciting). You will have a place to store items like in the Community Centre from Stardew Valley or from Forager but it's a boring version of them. Each collection is giving you new skin and +20 to health. I was so disappointed when I got the first reward for the collection and it was even more disappointing when I realised the next collections are also giving you the same award. In Forage you could get a star which was used to progress the skill tree or get an additional bonus later. - Enemies are extremely boring and easy to beat. Bosses and "puzzles" are even worse and I didn't enjoy even enjoy a single moment with them. - Upgrades to weapons and equipment are just changing numbers: +25% quicker harvesting, +25% quicker walking +25% quicker doing something else. Forager had many weapons, many unique upgrades and tools which upgrade could extend the content. Nova Lands hasn't got any of them. The first weapon is your last weapon. - Some mechanisms could be cut out. Example? Oxygen. After the first 20-30 minutes (and unlocking some skills and upgrades) the oxygen wasn't a problem at all. Why add it and continue using this mechanism till the end of the game when it can be fully skipped after the first 30 minutes? It's giving a part of survival like in Forager but Forager was connecting it with stamina and health. Nova Lands simplified it in a bad way. - I didn't finish Nova Lands but so far after 5 hours of the game (I saw other people could finish 100% of the game in 12 hours) I haven't seen even a single dungeon or "internal" location with puzzles. It was a pretty big part of Forager. - Some reviews on Steam mentioned missing tooltips and I fully agree with it. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what is the third item I need for plasteel (it was a scale from one of the animals - the icon was absolutely rubbish and the tooltip was missing, so I spent ages trying to figure out what's that). I definitely cannot recommend the game at this stage. It will need to have much more content to be worth that price.

  I think this might be the first time I have down voted a game. Nova Lands isn't awful or broken, it is just boring. I liked Forager a lot and managed to get pretty into Factorio despite being pretty bad at scaling the factory. In this game, by the 3 hour mark I just had to ask myself "what is the goal of this game?" There is likely an answer but it is not made clear in the gameplay and I didn't find myself motivated to upgrade my gear or keep scaling up the production and going up the research tree. For a game that is $20, I shouldn't be completely bored and over it so soon in. What sucks is that I have been looking forward to this game since it was up for wishlist on Steam. I even really enjoyed the demo that they made. I don't know what happened between here and there, maybe it is me. Who really knows. I think it might be a fun game for some, but in trying to simplify factory games (which I can appreciate as someone who gets overwhelmed by the complexity), I feel that it lost all of the "the Factory must grow" urgency that other games have had that really pushes you to scale up. I'm going to put this game down for awhile and hope that coming back to it later may make it something I can be interested in again but until then I am going to have to say that it wasn't worth the money for me.

  I've completed the game at this point and obtained every achievement. Took me about 25 hours. Here's the skinny: Game is indeed like a combination of Forager and Factorio but does neither of them better. The beginning is very fun. Probably the first 9-10 hours you'll just be excited to see what's around the corner and what else will unlock. This isn't a bad game. In fact, I enjoyed it a lot. But I feel like I have more criticism than I do positive things to say about it at the moment because the end of the game spoiled the first 3/4 of it. I've put many, many hours into Factorio. The greatest thing about Factorio is the idea that THE FACTORY MUST GROW. You have a practically infinite map with a blueprint system and can make the most massive factory imaginable. This is NOT THE CASE HERE. You have very little space to work with. Towards the end I was cramming all these assemblers on a tiny little island trying to get the last few products (which take a very long time to make by the way) and had no way to speed up production because I was literally out of space to place more production building. This is even with the gem speed-up upgrades. Logistics and collector robots also need a serious upgrade because only being able to have 5 per island is not enough when you start dealing with packaged products. At no point in the game can the logistics robots carry more than 1 individual item at a time, yet packaged products need 100 of an item to make? So you seriously need to make 100 trips per package? Why can't they carry stacks of an item? It feels like the devs themselves only seriously playtested the game's last 25% to make sure it was at least functional before shipping it. And yet I still recommend the game. It's fun. I think it's going to get better. But you'll see what I'm talking about as the game nears the endpoint. We need more space to work with. If it were me, I would make each island about 50% bigger or add 50% more islands. It's silly that there are at least 3 islands we can't actually build on. Also we need about 10 robots per island instead of 5, with stack carrying being an upgrade for logistics bots.

  Very similar gameplay to Forager but expands on a lot of what that game did while still being very unique and having its own charm.
