“peaceful, kind place with beautiful terraforming and emotional resonance” (54)
Игра моего одиночества. Сложилось, что я приобретала эту игру для того, что бы поиграть в нее с друзьями, но друзей не стало. Спокойное и доброе место для израненной души - без скримеров, крови и бесконечного битья животных как в прочих симуляторах выживания. Я расплакалась, когда впервые увидела траву на одном из этапов терраформирования. Засохшая безжизненная планета заиграла яркими красками, стала домом и отдушиной - нужно было всего лишь дать ей немного внимания, любви и терпения. Каждый человек в каком-то смысле эта планета. Очень рекомендую, 10 падающих суперсплавов на макушку из 10.
