EP6 Surviving Mars - Failed Rocket launch | Lets Try, Free on Steam, First Impressions
1JD's take: Surviving Mars is currently free on steam, with a 2 day open trial for anyone to play the full game! (link below)
Now where do i stand after 8+ Hours game play? Well as with many paradox games its a fairly easy game to learn, which will take a long time to master! I have played through about half the tech tree, and explored half the map (i haven't even started exploring the planet!) and i can already tell my poor colony is doomed to fairlier. The learning curve is nice enough that I understand what i did wrong (i hope) and i know what to do differently next time (so i can make a completely new set of mistakes)
Honestly I'm sure this game has well over 100 hours of gameplay in it, if not the 1000 or more like what I have clocked up in City skylines.
Being a Paradox game, if you think you will like it i would recommend grabbing a season pass, as this is one developer who normally releases DLC for months/years after the game original released I would also suggest your search around for a better deal then steam, I have found the game for just over $30USD including the season pass!

Colonize Mars and discover her secrets, with minimal casualties.
Welcome Home! The time has come to stake your claim on the Red Planet and build the first functioning human colonies on Mars! All you need are supplies, oxygen, decades of training, experience with sandstorms, and a can-do attitude to discover the purpose of those weird black cubes that appeared out of nowhere. With a bit of sprucing up, this place is going to be awesome!
Surviving Mars is a sci-fi city builder all about colonizing Mars and surviving the process. Choose a space agency for resources and financial support before determining a location for your colony. Build domes and infrastructure, research new possibilities and utilize drones to unlock more elaborate ways to shape and expand your settlement. Cultivate your own food, mine minerals or just relax by the bar after a hard day’s work. Most important of all, though, is keeping your colonists alive. Not an easy task on a strange new planet.
There will be challenges to overcome. Execute your strategy and improve your colony’s chances of survival while unlocking the mysteries of this alien world. Are you ready? Mars is waiting for you.
Main Features:
Building on a planet not fit for human life challenges you to build a smart, functional colony. Bad planning isn’t about traffic jams, it’s about survival of your colonists. You really don’t want rolling blackouts in a city constructed in a place without oxygen.
Each colonist is a unique individual with problems and strengths that influence the needs and behavior of the other colonists. Things can get really interesting if your chief scientists develops alcoholism after one too many long nights in the lab.
Retro-futuristic super structures housing colonists, factories and commercial buildings with their own “neighborhood personality.” Create colonies that value science over everything else, while tired workers drink their pay away at a local bar, or attempt a utopia among the stars.
Inspired by the classic sci-fi of Asimov and Clarke, Surviving Mars holds many secrets. During each playthrough players may encounter one of Mars’ individually crafted mysteries. Uncovering these secrets might bring your colony great fortune, or terrible ruin. What is that sphere that manifested itself outside colony HUB B, and is it friendly?
Combine static and random research through experimentation, which allows for a different experience for each journey through the game. Attain new scientific breakthroughs by exploring the uncharted terrain of Mars's surface.
A sleek, modern take on the bright futurism of the 1960s. A time of exploration and adventure.
