Anyone ever play Outpost 2? I loved the story and world of that game! Something about this game’s slow unit speed, inhospitable environment, emphasis on survival and infrastructure, and the narrator’s voice in the demo video remind me of Outpost 2.
It's available at GoG btw though some things are best kept in your memory IMO, or there's just no time for games anymore.
Between that and Alpha Centauri, I was spoiled by "last ditch effort by humanity to survive by colonizing another star system" games. I wish I could play something similar from modern times.
Surviving Mars, and Ad Aspera were both fun to play, but unfortunately neither held my attention for long.
