Endzone – A World Apart

This is a deep and enjoyable city builder. I played it after completing Surviving the Aftermath which it is often compared to. That game is more simple and easier however it feels more real in terms of managing a colony of people trying to survive in the wasteland. I never really got attached to the people in Endzone and the game feels more like a puzzle exercise where everything needs to be balanced carefully.
Endzone is challenging (especially when beginning to play) as there are many ways for the colony to quickly perish - over population, starvation/thirst, raiders. disease, sandstorms, radiation etc. After understanding how to mange the colony however the game becomes pretty routine, just carefully expanding, gaining new tech and managing the identical dangers that occur periodically.
A better endgame such as exiting the planet for better environments or going underground to escape the surface dangers would have improved the game considerably. Having said that, I would recommend the game wholeheartedly. It will give you 50 hours of enjoyment at least before it becomes too repetitive. I also experienced no performance issues with larger colonies which was appreciated.

this game is both good and bad. from mid to late game it flat lines almost completely with nothing left to do and effectively has a soft ending. The resource management is god awful late game, you will slowly but surely reach a plateau of all production that simply will never keep up to the population nad as soon as this takes place everyone either leaves dies or just stops working just because you are low on either food water or materials. i give this game a very neutral rating neither good or bad just stuck somewhere in between and the dlc really don't add anything worth paying for. I wont recommend this game at full price and only at a discount.

Good city builder with a grunge/post-apocalyptic theme... a Fallout city builder if you like. Good game, rock-solid & sensible... as in no ridiculously silly dynamics, plus relevant tiering, your old stuff & resources are are still relevant end game.

I recommend the add-ons, as they add a lot of replayibility & depth to the game, but the game is also fine without them.

This game doesn't deserve mixed reviews its a fine survival city building game. I thoroughly enjoy games like this and you can play on a variety of difficulties including chillax ezmode (I assume) although I prefer harder difficulties because I like to see what happens and how fast. So far all the mixed reviews sound like skill issues and one guy hating on them for doing a kick starter for the second game which isn't uncommon or unethical for game devs to do.
It's a great game I got it on massive discount and I plan on getting Endzone 2 after I plug a couple hundred hours into this. I played the Endzone 2 demo as well and it seems legit.
Great series well done.

After playing for almost 15hrs, this game isn't too bad as they say.
The mechanics are similar to Frostpunk survival-based city building game yet it has different setting, different approach, different features and has a decent game difficullty.
This game is so chill.

I love fallout games.
I love civilization VI.
I love city building simulators.
And apparently there's middle ground called Endzone: a fallout wibes giving civilization building post apocalypse hyping addiction inducing entertainment producing love child of a game.
I literally can't come up with a single negative thing about this game.
Tho my gaming laptop might have a heated opinion...
