About this game

In Reus, you control powerful giants that help you shape the planet to your will. You can create mountains and oceans, forests and more. Enrich your planet with plants, minerals and animal life. There is only one thing on the planet that you do not control: mankind, with all their virtues and and all their vices. You can shape their world, but not their will. Provide for them and they may thrive. Give them too much and their greed may get the upper hand.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Unusual god-game concept built around terraforming and indirect influence.

Hand-drawn visuals feature colorful worlds and giant characters.

Cons

Core systems offer fewer discoveries after major combinations are learned.
Later runs repeat due to limited progression and self-directed play.
Settlements cannot be directly controlled, and villagers behave unpredictably.
Resource interactions and modifiers require experimentation to understand.
