Those of you with an Amazon Prime subscription can pick up a free copy of Paradox Interactive’s Surviving Mars this month.
We rather liked the game and scored it 8/10 when it launched back in 2018. “If we ever try to colonise our red neighbour, it’s going to be one of the greatest challenges that mankind will ever undertake,” said Stefan.
“Though Surviving Mars makes a game out of it, Haemimont have brilliantly kept that hard edge, as it constantly pushes and tests your ability to plan with survival in mind, especially with the unpredictability of the Mysteries of Mars. There’s plenty of ways to improve it and put more colony control in the hands of the player, but the first landing is already off to a great start.”
Surviving Mars has now surpassed 5 million players across PC, Mac, Linux, PS4 and Xbox One since its 2018 release, but development of the game ceased following the 2019 expansion pack Green Planet. Haemimont Games stepped away from their title to move onto other projects, while Paradox Interactive retained the rights to the ‘Surviving’ IP.
Paradox Interactive have recently announced the Europa Universalis IV expansion subscription on Steam. This gives you access to the complete Europa Universalis IV experience without buying each expansion and content pack separately. This means access to all expansion packs and immersion packs, as well and all of the cosmetic content.
