While there’s a mesmerizing flow to the grind perhaps, there’s mechanically not much happening here
There’s nothing wrong with games that keep things simple and almost act more as a way to unwind and simply grind away without exerting too much thought or effort. That said, since such simple ambitions are far easier to be successful in implementing, it's also hard to do much cheering for them. It’s not a surprise that with such a simple look and feel this is another mobile transplant, and it falls into that space where asking whether there’s really something to be gained by playing it on a dedicated gaming system rather than a phone or tablet. I suppose the use of a physical joystick is a little more convenient but for the most part the game is just all about collecting and using resources, upgrading and expanding your space and tools until you eventually tire of it. If you don’t mind your rewards in the loop being somewhat modest this works well enough, but it’s also incredibly basic as an experience.
