Obviously going to be a bit "it is what you make of it". If you're playing the type of games you enjoy with friends you like spending time with, it's a great platform to play games with people you can't be with in person, whether because distance (I've used it to play with good friends on the opposite coast and in other countries) or COVID. Would I want to play with randoms? No, almost for sure not.

The interface is powerful but manageable, though the tutorial/having someone walk you through the controls is necessary. Once you get the hang of it the keyboard shortcuts game things end up pretty fluid. Obviously the DLC/plugin you play will make a huge difference with how good the scripting is, but so far I haven't had any major issues - the worst is usually a custom counter or meeple doesn't load in so you have to grab a prebuilt one from the menu, not a huge deal.

a colonist found some grenades and decided to use them against a cougar attacking my alpacas. Take a wild guess what the cause of death was for the alpacas as well as my solar panels...

10/10 would overkill again

I tried to go in as blind as I could and I'm very glad I did. Without spoiling too much, the narrative really tickled my interest (and the humour was spot on), and I look forward to beating the game again.....?

With fewer than 6 people the game is pretty meh. Everyone looks different so it's easy to find your mark. Once you get above 12, the fun factor explodes. Get a dozen friends on a Teamspeak server and have a blast.

I....don't know how I feel about this "game". "Piece of art" is more fitting. I "beat" it in about an hour (not rushing through, though you can probably take up to 1.5 hours) and I am certainly left with a set of feels I didn't expect going into the experience. Not worth the full price, but for the $2.50 I spent (far less than than half of a movie ticket that would give me only slightly more than double the entertainment length) it was well worth it. Be aware, there is little to no replayability, but the conversations you can have about the game could go well on into the night.
