Terra Nil

I am finishing this game feeling sad that it's already over. It's a masterpiece, an extremely relaxing and satisfying game with a surprising amount of strategy to it.

I recommend Terra Nil, its an advancing game, thinking of solutions in placement of objects ... I like the idea of turning a wasteland block into something life supporting BUT - this game is tooooo dam short and therefore kills the value of its price drastically. I do recommend it ... BUT do not buy it at its current price, wait for it to be on special for at least a 70% discount. Also check your pc specs ... important!!!

This has gotta be the greatest idea for a game. Satisfactory, Factorio, and any other games about making an industrial wasteland of conveyor belts and carbon belchers can go bite my shiny environmentalist behind!

Recommended with Caveat. Game is a cute little puzzle exercise. It's calming ( mostly ) and I do appreciate the goal being restoration. But it also has a bunch of little bugs and design choices that make it far more annoying than it ought to be. 1: Fully completing each section requires you to provide "green" happiness for each species of animal in a region. The UI in the map tho only tells you that you need a number of total green happiness to complete. So you will do a whole mission only to fly to orbit and realize somehow you did not make the Boars ( example ) happy. But the game does not give you a checklist of animals in the actual scenario, only in the world map. Which means starting over - but again without any indicator to tell you that you completed them. So you need to manually identify each species and make sure at least 1 of each is happy. This would be fine except - to re-do an area requires a complete re-run of the scenario. So that last 3% is locked behind an entire re-do without a reminder of what you need to actually do. ALSO- minor spoilers - "The End" of the game shows up in the middle. It just kinda randomly was there. I had no choice but to complete it, including a little cute cinematic, but I wasn't even close to "done" It was totally jarring and its a shame because the mission that triggered the end was actually a neat twist on the normal. Anyway - it's a neat game. It has some UI issues that cause frustration. It unexpectedly ends, tho you can keep playing. I've put enough hours into it to be worth the price but I also expect to not pick it up for much replay ever.

One of the achievements is (probably) named after one of my favorite book series ever written by Margaret Atwood. And I completely understand why! I started playing this game off of Itchio- and while I really liked the pixel art for that version, the 3D version here really grew on me and made me really enjoy rebuilding life for all of the animals. Calming, Satisfying, and fulfilling.

Very soothing, satisfying and thought provoking. Easy to pick up. Kid friendly

Absolutely adorable game. I love the way that it actively teaches you while also being a good game to just kick back and play. 10/10, absolutely recommend

Such an awesome chill game with some good depth. Great one to boot up if you're too tired to play that one thing but to awake to just go to bed.

its a fun and relaxing game its a good mix of challenge without being over the top anxiety educing the music score is quite nice the animations are cute and its fun... i had a nice time playing this game and definitely ended up playing longer than i realised once i was in game.. its super easy to get absorbed into..

every minute of this game is a joy to play; i spent a lot of time in zen mode to get the handle on what i was doing before moving on to the normal and then advanced levels, and i found that scale of difficulty more fun than frustrating. the soundtrack is beautiful, and the gameplay is engaging.

It's an engaging puzzle game that introduces enough mechanics so it does not feel like you are doing the exact same thing for each level and does not overstay its welcome. It's worth getting especially on sale.

Very fun once you understand the gameplay and flow. Tends to lag once the creatures and environmental effects start loading in. Very beautiful.

If you are looking for a game to switch your brain off and relax, this is the game for you. The stunning graphics of various types of flora and fauna are simply a delight to look at. On top of that, it feels "healing" in a way, as you de-contaminate land, turn polluted rivers and seas into clean water and watch deers, bees, bears and otters wander around.

fun and cute, pretty easy at start then new biomes give new mechanics and more challenge

Decent game. Especially if you enjoy conservation. The further levels are actually challenging and require more planning.

Chill puzzle solver that has a bit of flexibility in how you go about completing a level. The only downside is mid-game saves outside of checkpoints are not available, whilst there is an undo, but the undo is only for the last move. Entertaining and relaxing.

Really fun game, visuals are stunning and sound design makes everything super satisfying. Sometimes it can confusing to set stuff up, but you have the choice to control difficulty. Would reccomend!

A lovely little game that is a great puzzle/problem solver but still very relaxing to play. Transforming destroyed ecosystems into living spaces for wildlife is the goal. The game has a few hiccups every once in awhile but overall a great game and perfect for a cozy afternoon.

Do you like puzzle games? Do you like them to have twists and turns that challenge you, but don't make you want to hate yourself? This game is charming, soothing and relaxing to play. My only complaint is that there isn't more of it. That being said, I can understand that it might get repetitive after awhile. It might be nice if there was a free-play option, or more expansive worlds or something. As it is, I felt like this game hit a sweet spot where it felt like I was done with it. That's super rare.

Great puzzle/strategy game about restoring nature. Definitely worth the price on sale.

I liked the game. Managed to 100% it playing very casually in about 35 hours. Pretty graphics and nice gameplay. I encountered one glitch where I couldn't remove one last building from the map, but it was easily solved from settings. If you like to fiddle around and do relaxed puzzles, this is for you.

Really good and chill game. Only issue seems to be not so great optimisation for fairly simple graphics, most of the time it's fine but sometimes the game will just slam the gpu.

The game was an engaging take on a strategy game. It is quite challenging to build up a functioning industry with the constraint of having to deconstruct it later on. But I love the sustainable eco-friendly messaging a lot – it just puts a different spin on a genre that is usually about exploiting and exhausting as many resources as quickly as possible.

Oh dear... First level was super awesome. Then I progressed through the levels and it start felting like I was working, but all I wanted to is relax. And it was very repetitive. It felt like a chore like doing the dishes. I fought the idea was to rebuild a wasted land, not to follow questionable rules about what to do or not. Don't get me wrong, the game isn't difficult. It's just some things that don't make sense. Like not being able to use a technology you already know, or being blocked from placing buildings in apparently suitable areas, and oh lord, take your buildings back by manually clicking in a bunch of monorail points. So the ends up failing bad at being cozy, which was my first impression when I saw the trailer. It also fails to be a "reverse" city builder, which was my second impression. What it ends up being is a puzzle game that doesn't quite work because the challenges are actually boring and repetitive tasks. I really wanted to like this game… but every time I tried to play it again, it felt like I was doing the dishes... something I had to push myself to get through.

The game's sound stutters during rain, sometimes the game even freezes and requires shutdown. (I have an AMD graphics card and processor)

Interesting steps to restore the word. It's fun to know the process to 'cure' a land.

Cute!! its not quite the zoo tycoon of old but its still really nice for habitat creation

I love the music and the restoration aspect, but I wish I could save in the middle of a mission. It means I can only play when I have a large chunk of time. Placing the scrubbers and irrigators got a bit tedious when I had to redo the maps because it didn't save.

Once you understand the controls, oddly satisfying, neat little brain puzzle

Words fail to describe how therapeutic Terra Nil is to me. If you like what you see from the screenshots and description, and don’t mind 15 hours of bliss for whatever current price this game is on, then you will have a great time.

this game makes me feel good and i enjoy it immensely. great way to chill and relax

I can't turn off the tutorial obnoxious pop ups. The turn off tutorial option is literally greyed out in the menu.

Very Very chill game and really satisfiying. Must Have for a rainy week end

Gameplay is rather shallow and boring

Great little environment builder. Love the level of details--the animals are so cute!!

This is a fun, relaxing puzzle/resource manager. It's not difficult but it does take enough thought and consideration to make it engaging. In 17 hours I got all but one achievement. Very enjoyable experience, although not likely something I'd go back to without a DLC (Which I would happily buy and play).

Terra Nil is a captivating experience that will resonate with fans of strategy, simulation, and environmental games. Its unique blend of resource management, terraforming, and ecological awareness creates a compelling narrative that's both fun and thought-provoking. While it may not revolutionize the genre, Terra Nil sets a new standard for indie game development and is an absolute delight to play. Also, I really enjoyed the animal update. It really added to the experience.

God bless whoever made this phenomenal game. The first time I finished restoring a land, I pressed "appreciate", just sat there for a good 5 minutes and ... honestly just had a good cry. The concept of the game is so simple and humbling. You try to bring life back to a dead world but you don't cling to it and build statues to honor your accomplishments. You leave and take back any hint of your existence so that life is allowed to thrive. That amount of love and compassion to something - that loving kindness to have the strength to provide, give, nurture and then knowing when to leave, placing full trust in something's ability to thrive is a lesson I'm starting to learn in my own life and one that I will forever be discipled to. I'm thankful to the devs for creating this beautiful game and me happening by it in a time in my life where I was willing to listen. It's a beautiful, relaxing game and one that can be played in short bursts or long sessions. The game doesn't force your attention, it gently asks you to stay. 10/10 for me <3
