“I enjoy this game in small doses! There's so much to do with puzzles and campaign stuff and it relaxes my brain.”

“The game is very fun and addictive most of the time, but extremely complex and esoteric other times. I wish free-building was a bit more straightforward but will mess with it more. I imagine playing this a few days…”
“Fairly relaxing as a puzzle game, admittedly I've only played single player. I like the challenges, and if I ever run out, there's also player made puzzles! Overall a pretty game, and you should make sure to move in…”
“Fantastical hexagonal landscapes with puzzles, scenarios, unlocks and weekly challangs that keep it fresh.”

“Nice puzzle game, but very boring for me, I like the description of "Candy crush with extra steps"”
“Just bad design. In order to complete levels you need to make "merged buildings" which comes from placing basic buildings next to each other, however the game does not tell you what buildings need to be placed where for…”

“This has the worst tutorial i've ever seen. I place a town center, I place two basic food areas and I lose. No guidance. This should be refundable.”

“really interesting concept and I do recommend it. However, I would have liked to see more goal based building with the scenarios expanded upon. the base and puzzle modes are kinda dull but I did like the experience.”
“A very nice relaxing game for anyone to enjoy. For i do not see much of a Turn-Based strategy. But the element of puzzling is their for sure! Surrounding a Medieval theme and of course city building, where you get a…”

— a player, Steam review · 22 hrs played“TerraScape is a puzzle game disguised as a city builder. It starts really well, but quickly loses its steam: - It rewards quantity over quality. Your deck is quickly overflown with buildings and you can just aimlessly place them not thinking much about synergy and adjacency -…”
