Heliopedia Reviews

Cool logic and sandbox game. Makes you feel smarter than you are. Unfortunately extremely tedious as ecosystems are a bit of a nightmare to sustain. A few minor changes and suddenly everything dies. The creatures don't really have life cycles, you just have to get new ones if they die. I wish you started off with more planets tbh. There's so many different types and I don't like needing to destroy them to progress.

Really fun idea for a game, but extremely challenging to play. Having to focus on multiple planets later on can get tedious, if you don't know what you are doing or you stay on 1 planet too long, your other planets will die or change drastically. Some items can be combined when hovering over another but its so difficult to determine whether or not you can merge the items because it's hard to find the proper angle to release over. OR you need to wait some few seconds before it realizes you can combine. For that reason alone, I think a guide is almost mandatory for progression. It is a trial and error game where you find out what works, even if you tried it 10 times before and couldn't plant the seed yourself.
