I really, REALLY, wanted to "enjoy" this game. But it is too difficult to micromanage everything. You are constantly in need of stopping and starting the clock to move workers or engineers from one thing to another, trying to achieve everything you can.
The game punishes you WAY too hard on the 1st level IMO, I've never attempted to do anything past it as I wanted to "complete" the 1st level before moving on, but it really does seem impossible. As someone who finds it difficult to keep track of everything happening at once, this game wasn't for me,
It is a beautiful game visually, and I have really enjoyed watching other people play it on streams, but for me I just can't get past how much micro managing the game requires from you straight out of the box.
