    Complex systems, I struggle to "Thrive" as my cell eats all the Iron reminding me to focus on a secondary source of ATP. It is exactly the game I was looking for I am extremely interested in biology, genetics, and evolution. This game also brings a good mix of educational, functional, and entertaining gameplay.

    So far it's a great experience. Just challenging enough. While it may be compared to the classic, Spore, its far more in depth and complex. Where Spore is very much theatrical and cartoonish about it, this plays on a more serious tone. It is early access, and I just hit the wall of how far it's currently developed. Thoough even to where I am now, it plays functionally, Eagerly await it's progress.

    Now, I wish there was a neutral recommendation option. It has a really fun idea and I personally got the game because it reminded me of Spore. But overall, I don't think I'll play more of it. The way the cells and upgrades, evolutions, everything, works in this game can be intimidating at first (not a bad thing). There's so many options to choose from, but that also makes it fun. But sadly in my opinion, the game…
