Is this the best puzzle game ever made? Perhaps. The lore and humor makes it even better. Replay value is also excellent. I almost played the entire thing 2x in a row, with the developer commentary on the second time.

This is a fun little tycoon-style game which is changing regularly as the devs improve it. The game mechanics are not super complicated, but not too simple either, I found the latest version (0.9 as of writing) to be a fun challenge, especially after some re-balancing the devs did compared to previous versions.

In the latest version you can see a "galactic" map of nearby stars, and the idea is to find interesting spots where to build your space stations so they work as relays for travelers going around. You have to build jump gates in between the stars and your stations, and as you unlock higher levels you get access to better stations and things to build on them.

Overall I found the game to be fun, although there's a couple of glitches here and there (for example, clicking "don't show again" in the employee training confirmation dialog doesn't actually prevent it from showing, things like that) but I haven't found these to harm gameplay too much.

I'm looking forward to the future versions of this game, as this is a genre that hasn't been very popular among developers lately. Cheers!

This is a fantastic game for the transportation and/or tycoon affictionados out there. Although there are some problems, I think overall this game is very good. One of the problems, for example, is that it is very difficult to get cargo transportation right. As far as I can tell, the last mile for cargo delivery has to be done by truck, which is a bit unexpected coming from games like Simutrans (but reasonable). It will take many attempts and sometimes you'll have to start over. Passenger transportation is a whole lot easier, though. Lately the devs have been pushing uopdates, which is very welcome, and I hope they keep improving the game.

There is a lot of stuff (both content and mods!) in the workshop already, which makes this game a whole lot more fun.

The game is very nice, but has very little content. The implementation of many things such as the camera movements is very weird and difficult to use. However, with the usage of mods you can find on the internet (just search for "planetbase mods", I don't wanna make mentions to third parties here), this games becomes very playable. My preferred mods (there aren't many) are "CameraOverhaul", "FreeBuilding", "PowerSaver", "BuildingAligner", and "AutoRotateBuildings".

However, even with mods, this game can only go so far. After your base reaches 100 colonists it just gets easier and easier. I wish there were some more advanced buildings or some expensive objects that weren't purely cosmetic.

Overall, though, I recommend this game, because I have been playing it for several months and I always get back to it.
