WITWI - Before We Leave [Ultrawide Overview] Can you ensure humanity's survival?

Before We Leave is a hexagon grid based city builder. You are tasked with colonising new islands on a planet until you do what brought doom to earth in the first place, mine everything it has to offer and then move on to the next planet to destroy.

- Trading mechanics could be better
- Locked at 60FPS

There are only a handful of things that I found to criticise about this game. The lack of framerate control (locked at 60FPS) and the somewhat confusing at first trading menu. Eventually you get used to it however.

The gameplay is simple. Every building has to be attached to a road. If there are roads, your minions move a lot faster than if there were not any. Specific resource buildings require to be attached to the resource they are designed to mine as well as a road.

You must find the balance between resident numbers, food and resource production. Some islands cannot produce certain resources so you are obligated to utilise the trading features in order to move resources around as necessary. The goal is to colonise all of the islands and eventually repair the shuttle to migrate onto a new planet where it is rinse and repeat.

I am not usually too keen on grid based city builders but this one caught my attention immediately. The graphics are enjoyable, the performance is great, albeit locked at 60fps for now, the feature set is extensive, and the overall structure of the game is put together very nicely.
