  • As a cell stage game Thrive is pretty good. As a realistic successor to SPORE it’s terrible; more than a decade and they’ve never managed to get anywhere beyond the cell stage.

    The cell stage is getting better with each update, sure, but it seems like they haven’t even touched any other elements of their game.


  • Been a long time since I played it myself, but it was my first introduction to space sims.

    Development of the game picked up again just a year or so ago, after a long time of hiatus.

    Yeah, the game looked nice over 15 years ago, but the graphics haven’t updated at all, so the visuals are incredibly dated. Gameplay is still quite solid, though, and the background simulation aspect of the game is still on-par with Elite Dangerous, so I’d say it’s a pretty good choice if someone is looking for a FOSS space sim.
