Per Aspera reviews and comments

This is the kind of game that is hard to review. On the one hand I think it had a really good story, I played through multiple times to get content I missed the first time because I found the story interesting. But, on the other hand the gameplay was really boring. It wasn't simple enough to be completely ignorable, and wasn't complex enough to require engaging thought. 
I really wanted to like this game and I think it has much potenial underneath (visuals, voice actors, etc.), but the gameplay just feels too automatic. You don't get this great feeling of accomplishment like in Factorio or Satisfactory, when you have planed, structured and optimized your little facilities. It just plays itself and thats kinda boring after a while, because it isn't a good idle game either. Surviving Mars is a much better game in every aspect with a similiar scenario.
