Terraforming Mars Reviews

Hours of fun. Keep adding more expansions!

Nice theme and visuals.

Love the game, but we need colonies.

Excellent implementation of famous board game. Great choice for evening relaxation either in Solo mode or with friends. Sadly, digital version has bugs, but devs releasing fixes frequently, at least in Discord channel you can see activity. Last minor issue online lobby doesn't pick proper players to your current rank.

I love terraforming mars, but it is hard to recommend the online version to others. There are some major bugs with the game. Cards don't work as intended (i.e. insulation doesn't let you remove more than one heat production) and opponents will randomly have the game freeze on them. Additionally, there are a few quality of life improvements that could make the game much better. Being able to see opponent ELO, for one. Being able to exit out of taking a card action before completing it, for another.

Terrible game. Shouldn't be allowed on steam. Gets completely broken with every update, the quality of life is terrible, they do nothing to fix it. Some cards are completely unplayable due to bugs in the UI, their buttons not appearing anywhere on the screen. Do not recommend. Try Tabletop Simulator instead.

Updates continue to break the game. Worked great when i first bought it. Played the heck out of it. Recently, though cards are broken, Ai is capable of cheating (stealing plants & microbes even with protected habitats). It's really too bad, I love this game. Hopefully they'll fix it, until then I hold on to your cash.

A great game to make digital - to handle the rules and housekeeping each turn - and they did it very well. Some quibbles with a few of the controls, but great stuff and the AI opponents are challenging.

I've got quite some time in this game in addition to having the board game and all expansions for it for years. I really love the board game, and it is really satisfying to play this solo both on PC and mobile, but I just can't recommend this version of the game anymore. Between the excessive bugs (mainly with online play) and the listed prices for all the DLC, it's pretty hard to justify this over BoardGameArena or just buying the physical copy. Even at the sale price for the DLC, they just don't have anywhere near the content to justify buying them (even though I did lol). Not to mention the digital versions STILL don't have the rest of the board game expansions after being out for almost 7 years at this point? Kinda crazy.

I love this as a board game and as a steam game. BUT I am offended as a devoted player by the continuous accrual of bugs without any fixes. The most irritating issue for me is when an AI replaces a player. Instead of the AI taking their turns without hesitation, it now takes forever for the AI to take a turn. I've had to leave countless games so I don't waste my life waiting for the AI. This results in loss of Karma and limited availability of future games to join. Everyone go on strike to show the devs we won't stand for this disrespectful crap!!!!!
