Jede Spieleserie kämpft damit, für die einen zu viel und für die anderen zu wenig zu ändern. Dieser Teil neigt definitiv dazu, die Fraktion der “Mehr Veränderungen, bitte!”-Spieler zufriedenzustellen.</li><li>Technisch ist das Spiel in Ordnung. Für heutige Standards ist es überraschend klein, aber die Grafik ist charmant und verspielt. Ich hatte in 18 Stunden zwei Freezes, die mich zwangen, das Spiel zu beenden und den letzten Zug erneut zu machen – ein Erlebnis, das wohl jeder Civ-Spieler nur zu gut kennt.</li><li>Das größte Problem ist die Benutzeroberfläche. An vielen Stellen ist sie ungefähr so intuitiv wie ein kryptisches Kreuzworträtsel und erklärt zu wenig. Die Mechaniken könnten etwas mehr Feinschliff vertragen, sind aber insgesamt okay.</li><li>Die Vorab-Version war von Anfang an für macOS verfügbar. Das gibt bei mir einen fetten Sympathiebonus.</li><li>Das Spiel könnte als Effizienz-Demo für Apple Silicon-Maschinen dienen. Mein Mac Mini M4 verbraucht im Desktop-Betrieb etwa 16W. Beim Spielen von Civ7 schoss das auf atemberaubende 20W hoch. Mein Gaming-PC würde mit so viel Strom nicht mal hochfahren.</li><li>Und ja, das Spiel hat immer noch den berüchtigten „Nur noch eine Runde…“-Effekt.</li></ul><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Civ7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Civ7</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/civ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>civ</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/civilization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>civilization</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/turnbased" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>turnbased</span></a></p>

Every game series struggles with changing too much for some and too little for others. This installment definitely leans towards pleasing those who wanted more changes.</li><li>Technically, the game is fine. It’s surprisingly small in size for modern standards, but the graphics are charming and playful. I encountered two freezes in 18 hours, forcing me to restart and redo my last turn—an experience every Civ player is intimately familiar with.</li><li>The biggest issue is the UI. At many points, it’s about as intuitive as a cryptic crossword puzzle and explains too little. The mechanics could use more polish but are generally okay.</li><li>The pre-release was available for Mac OS from the start. That gets them a big goodwill bonus from me.</li><li>The game could serve as an efficiency demo for Apple Silicon machines. My Mac Mini M4 draws about 16W when I'm staring at the desktop. Playing Civ7 got that to a staggering 20W. My gaming PC wouldn't even boot with that.</li><li>And yes, the game still has the infamous “Just one more turn” effect.</li></ul><p>CC <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>GossiTheDog</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Civ7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Civ7</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/civ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>civ</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/civilization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>civilization</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/turnbased" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>turnbased</span></a></p>

Allie<p>April 9, 2024 - Day 465 - NewPlay Review<br>Total NewPlays: 493</p><p>Game: Terraformers</p><p>Platform: Steam<br>Released: Mar 10, 2023<br>Installed: Apr 9, 2024<br>Unplayed: 0d<br>Playtime: 1h34m</p><p>Game number five in this month's Humble Choice Bundle is Terraformers. It's a "turn-based colony builder and resource management game with roguelike elements", built around an Earth expedition to terraform Mars.</p><p>You start with a single base, and need to explore and colonise various areas of the planet, gathering a whole load of different resources, which in turn pay for the various "research projects" that are delivered in a roguelike card-shuffle each turn.</p><p>Some turn-based games could be categorised as "just one more turn" games. Those games in which you're so deeply engrossed, that you look up, and the sun is coming up, and you need to call in sick so you can get some sleep, and then play for the rest of the day.</p><p>The key to those games is that they're scratching a particular itch, in an enjoyable and satisfying way. There's a constant series of build-ups then payoffs, and the effort->reward loop keeps those sweet dopamine hits coming at the right intervals.</p><p>I think this is why an integrated and well-planned narrative is so important; that's frequently the key to the payoffs.</p><p>Terraformers prods at the same territory, without delivering on the same satisfaction. I clocked out at just over 90 minutes, and just felt frustrated.</p><p>At the start of the game, you're presented with a choice of two leaders. Each leader has three skills, and a permanent buff. That bit's critical, because after each in-game year, you have to select a replacement leader.</p><p>I get why it's done from a gameplay mechanics perspective, but it feels like it repeatedly broke my sense of connection with the colony.</p><p>The game sets itself up as an "ancestors planting a tree" kind of story. It makes it clear that the colonists are doing this with the realisation that they'll never enjoy the fruits of their labour. I think that might be one of the key problems with the game.</p><p>I understand that the in-game population is building towards a long term goal with little short-term payoff, but the *player* needs some short-term payoffs, or else it feels more like a job than a game.</p><p>On top of everything else, Terraformers gives the population a hedonic adaptation loop. As they game goes on, it requires an increasing amount of effort to keep them happy, as they adapt to life on Mars.</p><p>With the repeated loop of disconnection, the cost of research projects grinding upwards and needing more resources, and the population becoming increasingly demanding, I eventually just tapped out.</p><p>Terraformers has some interesting ideas, but ultimately it felt like the gameplay was a lot of effort for little reward, and left me feeling pretty:</p><p>2: Meh</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Terraformers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Terraformers</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/TurnBased" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TurnBased</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ColonyBuilder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ColonyBuilder</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ResourceManagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ResourceManagement</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Roguelike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Roguelike</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/HumbleChoice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HumbleChoice</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gaming</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ProjectONG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProjectONG</span></a></p>
