  As many have stated, the early game is very enjoyable however the game suffers from a very frustrating and self-defeating midgame. In the begining, you'll help your town build, thrive and overcome its obsticles. Whether you're helping them build or saving them from a wolfpack, you get to decide how you want to help your civ. Each building is considered and planned, with the games' own organic city growth. And then the problems begin. Before long, you are constantly fighting a losing battle of placing buildings that are essentially dictated to you. Your God powers are pointless because the regen is appallingly slow and your neighbours have free reign to drop a meteor on your city center. Oh and don't worry about fighting back, even if you had the points, as they have an unlimited sheild to save them from you. Progression is now a sense of "Thank **** that's done, what else did these ****heads want? Oh nevermind, they're all sick because all that infrastructure doesn't mean **** when they ignore it and drink dirty water". After a while you're just placing cemetaries and throwing the little idiots into the proverbial bin because the logic is severely broken. All said and done, I think I'll let this one bake for a lot longer before giving it another shot. It has so much potential but so many hurdles to overcome. The excuses are nice but, ultimately, that won't sell your game to the general public and it'll be just another miss in a sea of disappointing releases from the last few years.

  I really like this game. Here are some pros and cons: PRO: 1- Nuggets are highly autonomous so you don't have to micromanage them. For instance, if they're low on water they know what to build 2- You can prioritize buildings 3- You can use God Powers (GP) in the list of all the nuggets. There is also a search bar PRO or CON depending on player preference: 1- Easy when on neutral 2- Evolution happens very fast (in my 11 hours of playing I am almost at space age) CONs: 1- Unlike with the Nuggets, you cannot revitalize or use any other GP when in the buildings menu. To revitalize a building, which you will be doing very often, you have to travel to that location. 2- The buildings menu organization is a disaster. You have to click a dropdown and deselect everything to then select the buildings you want to look at. I'd rather have a search bar like the nugget menu 3- The research tree is another disaster 3a- Research is non-linear for a lot of it. If you skip one of the subcategories you could end up in the middle of the modern era with research still locked from the stone age 3b- I would rather have it broken down. I really like the way Surviving Mars has their research tree set up. I would recommend something like, citizen happiness, medicine, education, production, and technology. Additionally you should not be able to move on from one era without all categories researched 3c- I hate the discovery points. I think they should be used as an option to speed up research, but for many of the research nodes you cannot unlock them without a certain number of discovery points. This holds you back from later research when a random node in the main research line requires one of the discovery point ones from way earlier in the game. Tip based on what my downfall was in my first attempt: Build lots of cemeteries - if you don't, dead bodies will fill the streets and infect/kill nuggets. My cemetery workers were not fast enough at body collection so I tried to help by using my telekinesis and throwing corpses into the lakes. That was a very bad idea. The environment very quickly became toxic.

  PROS: -This is a very good blend of city-building and god-simulation, probably one of the best ones I've played so far (and yes, even tho it's in EA) -I personally really enjoy 'Ancient' civs evolving to 'Advanced' civs themes to games, so this was a great execution of that sort of theme -I also actually enjoy the narrator as an aspect to the game, I think some of what he says is funny but it can get old after a while CONS: -Very micro-management for the first hours as you'd expect, it gets slightly better (but not a whole lot) as you progress as you grant Nuggets more autonomy through age-advancement of the civ and by assigning someone to oversee the "department" of whatever work is being done. IE: Department of Water builds water wheels and assigns nuggets, Department of Agriculture does this with farms, etc... Expected for a city-builder but not really something you'd see in a god-sim; so take that as you would. -The game has 3 speeds; pause, 1x and 2x. 1x feels pretty slow and 2x is noticeably faster. Unfortunately though, it still seems to take a long time for things (building, carting away corpses, etc...) to ever get done for some reason to me; it eventually does get finished, but it feels off in my opinion because even a the 'fastest' speed it's still an effort to get things done. -Research takes realtime, meaning that the lowest costing researches (sans DP-research) is about 5 minutes. Some take upwards of 15 minutes. I get research taking time, as you would expect it to but even with the time-lapse set to 2x, there is not a noticeable difference in research. As it would appear, the completion of tasks and other things within the viewport of the world doubles (Nuggets move faster, collect resources faster, etc...) but ostensibly the Research tree progresses independently of that time-lapse change; so 5 minutes is still 5 minutes (and not the 2 minutes 30 seconds you'd expect at 2x speed). TL;DR: I'm not selling it with a more detailed 'cons' list but it's because having played the game, these issues cause breaks to the gameplay loop (at least for me); but in EA titles you want to provide that kind of feedback. So while I might be pointing out mechanical issues, I can't stress how much fun I HAVE had playing this, the words elude me.

  This game has some fun parts but the tedium is exhausting. The game has a lot of humorous production value. But after 22 hours, I got exhausted by the tedious nature of the game. Hopefully the developers will address the two biggest issues I encountered. 1) When "nuggets" die of old age or other factors, their corpse turns into infectious zones -- even if you have cemeteries with workers -- so every 30-60 seconds, you are constantly clearing the bodies yourself and curing that infected. 2) When you send expeditions, the team becomes consistently "overloaded" with the things they find, forcing you to go in every 1-2 minutes and decide which of the loot to leave behind. This actions require you to stop and cancel whatever other activity you were focused on, so it's just exhausting after a while. The issue only gets worst as the population grows. Meanwhile, the game is popping up it's own random events for you to solve which are time-based, which only adds to the frustration. I don't know if it's a need for better balancing or better in-game tips on how to overcome these issues. But having the developer address these would improve the game play considerably.

  This game has been in alpha for a very long time, it really should be near to being finished but it's still got a long way to go... I've had this game for a couple years now, IMO there has been very little added to the game during this time. I would advise anyone interested to hold off from buying this game until it has been finished. This game needs more story content and polish. Each play through feels the same and it does get quite repetitive. I would onlly give it 4/10 in it's current early access state, Hopefully things will improve with more time.

  Hold on Hold on. I listed this as a positive review because I objectively believe this game is one of a kind in the city sim/builder genre and anyone who likes those games should try this out and support the developers. However, I am dissapointed that they have not developed the space age all the way through yet. I've had this game for awhile and one of the main sellers for me was that we (as the player) would be able to colonize MULTIPLE planets. Right now we can only develop the moon and after that the game is kinda...done. The replayability of it only comes with updates but every update still feels a little more of the same. Sure its polished more and they've added some use friendly interfaces and such and new buildings, but the game always feels the same. For example, the last update was that they added tanks and helicopters. But nobody wanted that and combat is just a small part of the game.(originally it wasn't in it at all) We want to explore and colonize different planets with the mother planet to look back on in our plays and say "All this space colonization came from 2 people on mother planet". That's what I WANT to say and show my friends with this game. But I cannot as it currently stands sadly. All that being said. It is an interesting game- and granted - developers have to deal with covid and the rising prices of everything the last couple years, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt and it is also why I gave the game a positive review. The last update they also mentioned 'different' planets so I take that to mean that at the 1.0 release, my dream will be fullfilled so heres hoping. Cause gosh, hopefully the next install will actually stay 'installed'.

  >Build defenses for my squishy humans so they stop getting eaten by wolves >Don't realize that the defense towers lower happiness for some reason >Reach minimum happiness >Riot breaks out >Ungrateful little bastards are trying to destroy the water supply >Smite them with a single bolt of lightning >"Stop it!" >Riot suppressed >Build more parks >Humans are happy again Fun game/10 Unfortunately I do have to take points off for how wrongheaded they are in regards to Nuclear power. Normally I wouldn't care, but this game is going to great lengths to push an environmentalist message and this kind of misinformation can be genuinely harmful. The game purposefully makes Nuclear reactors unsustainable, causing them to output shit tons of pollution. In real life, not only are Nuclear power plants far less polluting than coal or oil, but modern reactors are incredibly safe. The few known incidents of them melting down were largely the fault of deliberate negligence or freak accidents. Of course they're not risk-free, but the long-term risks of fossil fuels are far worse. The reality is, humanity needs energy that is both reliable and does not harm the planet. Wind, solar, etc will never be reliable enough to replace fossil fuels entirely. I will give the developers the benefit of the doubt and assume they only designed the Nuclear reactors the way they did for the sake of game balance and they are aware of everything I have said above. If that's not the case, I sincerely hope they take my criticism into account. Thank you. Anyway, still a fun game, still recommend.

  Such a charming game! Even at this point in early access I haven't run across any bugs. The gameplay is very enjoyable and never really feels stagnant.

  Love it. One way to describe The Universim is that it is like a modern day Black and White game.

  Come back in a few months when the game breaking AI issues are resolved. Solid foundation for a god sim, but too many frustrating bugs to give a positive review at the moment. If the devs are able to stick to a solid bug fix/update schedule (monthly?), I will be happy to update this review at a later time. Beautiful game, just too many bugs and missing features to suggest paying for the game in its current state.
