It was cute and all, but you played through a 'flow' like cell phase, a simple tribal phase, a slightly more complex civilisation phase and then went space and ... meh.
I wanted to love it, and I did play it through a few times, but from the hype you'd have thought it was the game of a generation where ultimately it was unsatisfying and played out more or less the same each time.
Agreed. It took me a while before I got a copy and I was ultimately pretty disappointed. I think some of the ideas still have a lot of potential though. I hope to see other games explore things at that scale in the future. Some elements of this seem to be present in No Man's Sky which I haven't played, but that's the only thing that I can think of that relates.
