“One of the most relaxing games I've played. Especially since they made timed actions an option in the game, you can literally just sit and ponder what you think is the best solution at that time. Or turn on the timed…”
“tl;dr: negative review for antisemitic content. I really loved this game. One of the very few where I've managed to get all the achievements, and then kept playing because it was so satisfying to build a cute little…”

“Really fun puzzle game, and it nails that "number go up"-feeling Replayability is surprisingly high, since there are just that many new biotica to unlock and try out”
“Reus 2 is a well-polished Solitaire Worker Placement game. The art style is adorable. There's just enough to keep track of without being overwhelming and the randomness is enough to make it challenging without being…”
“This game feels like a really satisfying puzzle, and I keep coming back to it every couple months to play. The devs are also always coming out with updates and new content which is great.”

“I really like Reus 2. You play as 3 immortal giants, who place 'biotica' (plants, animals, and minerals) for humans to exploit on a planet to grow their cities. The biotica have synergies. Put a carnivorous ocelot next…”

“All the charm of the original with a more satisfying puzzle-based experience. I love all the personalities of the different founders. The art is cute and distinctive. It's a little bit expensive with all the DLC, but…”

“The idea seemed promising, but it didn't click for me. The game is about finding near-perfect tile placement to trigger bonuses. And that's it. There's nothing more to it. It all just felt confusing and fiddly.”
“-Give people life, food, resources, fulfill their requests. -People wage war against titans because they want to. -Instantly win the fight with one attack. -People learn to respect. -5 minutes later, wages war against…”

“I found the gameplay enjoyable, even though I don’t usually like puzzle-style games. It does lean into that structure more than I typically prefer, but there’s still a lot of value in how it plays overall. The…”
“A beautiful rouglelike puzzler. However, while initially very complex, the limited number of leaders and eras limits replayability. Still well worth the price tough.”

“Reus 2 is an optimisation game, rather than a 4X civilisation building game. As long as you know that going in then you can’t be too disappointed. You get a limited number of moves to place enough plants, animals and minerals to provide the necessary yields so that your cities…”
