Poly Skies Reviews

Honestly something ive been looking for. Something relaxing and cute. Price is cheap. This is a very chill game

It's a simple, well-made base-builder style game, gets you at least 90 minutes of gameplay. Pretty good for the pricetag, try it sometime.

== As of March 2023, about an hour of relaxing gameplay == I was able to "complete the game" in just over an hour (90% achievements, unlocked everything). From other reviews it sounds like this small developer is working on expanding the game which is great. The game is relaxing with a cute art style. Nothing too challenging. But also, none of the "existential crisis" waves that can propel this genre of games forward, so you know what you're getting into. I hope to see the game get more updates, and some balance to slow it down and create more scarcity.

I must admit that this is a very good game even for being Early access. The only drawback is the lack of buildings but that will be addressed as time goes on. Some of the buildings that I would like to see added are a foresters hut, cow building, Chicken building, Dairy farm for like cheese, Milk. But I'm not the developer so I can't decide what types of buildings will get added. But I also think that more variety of crops need to be added like corn, grapes for wine, strawberries, oranges, Apples, and Pears. The game Itself runs smooth, There aren't really any gamebreaking bugs and If there were the dev has already fixed them and If not is already addressing them.

A great introduction to city builder managerial games. Simple to get into so new players can decide if they like the genre or for those like me who want to play a city builder game but on a smaller less stressful scale. My only real suggestion for improvement would be some kind of sound or alert when your buildings need repaired, something like how Command and Conquer does it.

I'm on a Mac Mini M1 from 2020 with MacOS Ventura. The game used to show up without islands to build on, but it has been addressed by the developer and now I can say it's working. With the huge number of city builders, and how few work in M1 I am glad I have a relaxing one to just chill.

Go try the demo! It’s a one man show, they are responding on the discord, and being up front in the patch notes about the game having a few areas for improvement and things that are still on the to do list. I enjoyed the music, art style and the building process, so for that I’ll stick with it and hope they can make it really shine in the future once it’s polished a bit more.
