From GameWatcher: "In the end, Per Aspera is not the deepest colony builder, nor the most challenging. But it is still a fun game to play, in a relaxing kind of way. And when you zoom out and see your bases stretch across the surface or the planet begin to irrevocably change, it delivers a feel-good gaming moment. Narrative and a sense of scale are ultimately what set Per Aspera apart from other games in the genre. If you are looking for a laid-back terraforming experience, combined with an interesting story, try out Per Aspera. If you want a more personal or detail focussed colony building experience (one where you feel like you are overseeing the human settlement of Mars), than your better off playing Surviving Mars."

Overall Per Aspera VR is a successful VR port of the original game, it just may not be the best way to experience this methodical city builder.

Borderlands 3 headlines the Humble Choice lineup in February.

Theshigen writes "Per Aspera is unlike any other strategy game I’ve ever played (except just one, which I’ll get into a little later). It has elements that seem familiar, but what the devs, Tion Industries, have done is to put them all up together into one very interesting package."
