Surviving Mars: Below and Beyond Review (VasjaTheOx)
Below and Beyond is to far and to much and not in a good way exactly.
When Green Planet DLC came out, it was like a natural progression of the game, the game flow was good.
Below and Beyond feels rushed, certain mechanics have no explanations how they work.
For example, if due to colony management you ignore the first asteroid landing, you wont get EXOTIC MATERIALS that are crucial to build DOMES or Ancient relic thingy under ground. The constant jumping from Cave/Surface/Asteroid colony colony is very jarring, and the colonies in the background do not pause. So if you have a rocket with colonists arriving to the surface, you better check back every now and than since it is easy to forget and let them die on the rocket.
Not to mention all the cavings and the only 1 elevator that breaks more than works...i mean i installed 2 support pylons and the caving destroyed my dome 2 times.
not a good update, sorry.
Maybe its time to make Surviving Mars 2? But also do us all a solid and ditch the Hexagon building pattern, or at least make it octagon.
