What I like: Well paced, good mix of chill and needing to think, very forgiving of mistakes, fun and unique, cute art style, cute animals, I like guiding humanity indirectly, doesn't take itself too seriously.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A bit tighter on strategy elements and a bit more balance, some bug fixes, a few more difficulty/game mode options, and some QOL here and there and I would bump it up to amazing.
Controls

This game is begging for controller support, it runs so well on the deck.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The ambient soundtrack and gentle sound design add to the immersive atmosphere, making the process of shaping planets feel serene, even as the systems grow increasingly complex.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
4 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Because this game is perfect for the steam deck, the controls are just a little too finicky at the moment.
