What players say
Players are split on Per Aspera. Some enjoy the story and terraforming mechanics, but a recurring criticism is that the game becomes a boring slog of waiting, especially after the first few hours. A memory leak on Linux was also reported, and several players found the logistics frustrating and the narrative shallow.
