Terraforming Mars Reviews

The AI sub in this game has gotten agonizingly slow, really too bad.

Maybe the best board game ever AND the best PC port too. Dynamics and synergies: these are the key words to build your strategies up.

As many others have mentioned the game is completely broken with many obvious issues. There appears to be no testing between releases and patches. A real stain on what is actually a great board game.

Developers seem to introduce bugs as fast as they fix them. A less glossy but more functional version of this game is available in boardgamearena.com.

The most recent update that came out for this game completely broke the way a large number of cards work. This issue was apparent approximately 30 seconds in to the first game I played after the update. It is almost like they released the game without doing one bit of QA. It has been a few days since it was released and there is no acknowledgement of the issues - the dev should at least post something and saying they are working on it. Over time this game has had a number of bugs that mostly got resolved - but this release was so obviously broken, it seems like there is no testing happening at all. The game is essentially unplayable in its current state. Do better. I don't expect the world, but this is just unacceptable.

The developers regularly break the game to the point where it is entirely unplayable Incredibly obvious bugs that even simple testing before release would show immediately After that they just leave the game broken for long periods instead of at least reverting to a less broken version

This is a 10/10 boardgame, however this version is just brutal at times. Countless bugs, really easy to grief and completely waste someones time by going afk. Mechanics are poorly designed (time bank should have limited use per turn (~2 mins to combat griefing), can't undo playing a card on your turn (you might reduce your own prod without realising), soooo many menu/UI bugs, the list goes on. I love this game but I cannot recommend buying this version. Will be playing OtB or on Board Game Arena from now on.

The board game is amazing and while this PC version looks good, it is riddled with so many bugs and questionable design decisions that i wonder if the developers are intentionally trying to sabotage the game. The initial game on release was absolutely unplayable with bugged timers, bugged cards, disconnects and more, but after a lengthy time they managed to patch it to a somewhat playable state. But it seems that every time they release new content they break the game, as is the case with the latest patch where a large fraction of the cards don't even work. I refuse to believe that they even test before they release.

As old card bugs are fixed, new bugs are always introduced, repeatedly breaking the gameplay and strategies. Not visually appealing. Overly interested in getting your money from DLCs.

The board game is amazing. But the developers for the digital game constantly break the game with horrific bugs. They introduce a new DLC expansion, but apparently never test it once to see that they have broken half the cards in the game. All of a sudden discount cards no longer provide discounts, the UI just randomly disappears, alerts and messages pop up multiple times. It really is a joke.
