Nova Lands Reviews

Entertaining and addictive. Like Forager but better.

Automation of Satisfactory in a Stardew world, while also being somehow space-based futuristic. Awesome. They pulled it off.

This was a fun game, I do admit about halfway through the progression it got a little old and the resources tend to overwhelm you when you don't have access to the 3x3 storage deposit. BUT I loooved the different achievements and all the fun aspects to this game. I wish I could ride the Queen Bee!

Just played 2.6h in one go. Quite addictive even though it doesn't look super deep. Got it with -45% so it's a super fair price.

Haven´t played it in the current state it´s in but it has some Forager vibes and is overall a pretty cozy game with a Factorio automation touch... (oﾟvﾟ)ノ

Overall, I think this is a good game. It has a healthy amount of issues, but you can still enjoy the core game play. I like the pacing this game has, it feels like you are always doing something new in the beginning. It's fun exploring and starting the process of Automation. The issues are like 90% QoL features that are needed for a better game play experience. Stuff like having a number slider for stuff rather than set number which are mostly 1, 50, or 100. And the fact that changing your keybinds only takes effect in the over world(If you change your "Take half stack" button, it will work in the overworld, but once inside a machine it will use default binds). And the biggest issue is how much it feels like progression slows down in the end. That, and the extra endgame stuff is stupidly easy to miss.

+++ Simple and accessible for all +++ Fair progression rate +++ No pressure --- Repetitive soundtrack --- Multiple undocumented features --- Turns into an idle game in the later stages This one has fairly approachable mechanics, a cute art style, and a relaxing atmosphere. It`s a good way to spend some time during lulls in real life's action, what with the game automatically saving exactly where it is on exit so as to resume right where one left off. There are no setbacks, death is a gentle caress on the wrist, and most of the mechanics are about getting to the next stage of production while making the previous stages obsolete. Not a groundbreaking title, but a well-focused one, and it can serve to occupy 25 hours of one's time while waiting for the bus, the food, or whatever else.

i picked this game up to, very specifically, figure out if i like automation games or not- and even though i now know the answer to be a kind of wonky [i]no[/i], i still think this is a really good game- even if only for fans of the automation genre i did really enjoy my time with this game, even if i'm pretty sure i didn't play it 'correctly'. another reason i picked this one up was the fact that it's very reminiscent of Forager, a game i've played and enjoyed, and it does echo a lot of what i liked about that one. making your way up a tech tree [i]is[/i] a lot of fun, and i really like the grind. however, towards the end game, everything just slowed down [i]hard[/i]. i'm sure that's partly my fault, for not utilizing the automation aspect better, but i'm just not a fan of sitting around and waiting but none of that is really the fault of the game, and more an aspect of the genre. i'm sure automation fans will really enjoy this one, even if it wasn't a hit with me :]

this game started off as a fun alternative of forager, but quickly fell downhill in late game. first, space is very limited, so you can't really mass-produce much second, the late game just feels to grindy to me, with the amount of stuff you need to get money to do anything, but again, can't mass produce because of space

After reaching lategame, I now understand what most of the negative reviews of this game were about. Late game is super tedious and slow for no reason at all. Early-Mid Game = Superb 9/10 Late game = Tedious 2/10
