If there's one thing that Genesis Alpha One has taught me, it's that I need a CRISPR kit. I also need a wealth of genetic material from a variety of sources, including material from stowaways that happen to come onto my spaceship and start laying eggs and god knows what else, clogging the whole damn thing up. Maybe I need a bit of bug spray too.
Overall, this game is fun to play and brings you into a new world of FPS and shipbuilding to engage its player base. It is a single player game that will test your building skills as you create this massive starship that will take your people to a new world for colonization. Releasing on January 29, 2019, this game promises to be one of the more fun first-person shooters out there this year. It la...
Genesis Alpha One has more in common with Farming Simulator than No Man’s Sky, offering a more grounded take on exploration than most. The smattering of gunplay is enough to stop the game becoming a grind, but you’ll nevertheless find joy in the game’s moments of stillness. And it’s a testament to the game’s staying power that, even when your ship has been destroyed, you’ll come back for more. Jus...
Genesis Alpha One is a collection of good ideas which can be roughly summarised as a combination of FTL: Faster than Light and the Aliens movie. You play as a captain of a corporation sent out to populate planets in the galaxy. This is exactly my type of game, but unfortunately, it doesn’t live up to its full potential and just feels half finished.
Genesis: Alpha One is a great roguelike for those looking for long methodical sessions. The in-depth simulation shows off great care from the developer but quickly becomes tedious as you try to meet everything's limited conditions at once.
Great concept and premise derailed by bad game design and a terrible graphical presentation.
In its voyage to the stars, Genesis Alpha One gets waylaid in some empty place in between.
It's a shame that a game of such promise and ambition ends up in such a questionably lacking state as this, for Genesis Alpha One wields a fair number of interesting ideas, mechanics and spins on such things as roguelike exploration and base-building methodology that work wonders when feeding back into the core premise of managing all aspects of a ship journeying through space. Unfortunately the c...
Gathering the necessary resources to fulfill a Genesis mission can take a lot of time, especially if you end up getting pushed back by hostile invasions. There is a base sense of joy to be had from making the numbers go up, but I never completed a Genesis mission and I doubt whatever feeling or reward it gives was worth the effort to reach it. I think it is more than enough to say I have no intere...
