The Story

Your Peeps have spent generations underground. They’ve missed the caress of sun on skin, the squelch of soil between toes, the tickle of flies on noses. They emerge, full of wonder, but with no idea how to grow anything - except potatoes. Start rebuilding their lost civilization by providing shelter, uncovering ancient technology, and expanding this reborn society to other continents and planets.

Cute little city-builder with big ambitions and even bigger cosmic cetaceans.

8 / 10
While lacking depth compared to larger, more mainstream strategy titles, Before We Leave is a fun entry in the genre. In its current state, it is still a good respite between grueling campaigns for the strategy addict.

Before We Leave is a great, relaxed simulation, but feels like it may be missing a few things
