I have two main issues with this title. First that the game feels unpolished. Second that it does not have any actual gameplay. You make no decisions. The game tells you what to do and then you do it. There are no mechanics or rewards for doing anything other than what the game tells you to do next. An example: Reduce the pollution in a region. There is exactly one mechanic to do that. You place purifiers on bodies …

I just finished the whole game by playing all guilds (I still need to get last 2 achievements to have everything properly full and finished :D). Positives: - positive goal of the game - chill cozy vibes; very wholesome - nice soft OST - interesting gameplay mechanics (restoration of nature, designing and meeting perfect habitats for animals, releasing animals into nature...) - beautiful visuals - fun "discoveries of …

Very chill game. I played the demo first and have been pumped for it since. This is NOT a hardcore management sim, and that's okay, it doesn't pretend to be! I do wish there was a bit more tied to the messages you get throughout the game, because some feel a bit random and unnecessary. But overall, I enjoyed the process of cleaning up, putting down the animals, and micromanaging the conditions in each dome to have …

This is a casual game. If you are looking for complex decisions or mechanics, this is not your game. I played it primarily while watching television, and really enjoyed it. In my opinion it has little replayability. I played the tutorial and the first "campaign", the second campaign seen like a reskinned version of the exact same thing. There is a lot of rinse and repeat even in the initial part though. It was worth …

Really enjoying this game so far. It has a very peaceful and relaxing atmosphere with a nice sense of progression. I like how exploration, building and resource gathering are balanced with the biomes shaping part, and seeing how the world changes as you remove pollution, making polluted and lifeless environments gradually become healthier and vibrant feels rewarding. Definitely a game I can see myself coming back to …

72% of the 82 Steam reviewers we collected recommend BioEden. The complaint that keeps coming up: repetitive gameplay loop. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Reactions
60 of 123 · most liked firstThree months ago I played the demo. And for a demo I had a lot of fun. It felt unpolished and the gameplay loop felt clunky but I figured it had good bones. For all intents and purposes I did 100% of everything the demo had to offer, from purifying the surface to getting the handful of species they had to maximum comfort. I played an hour of the full release and the most I could say was different was the length of the tutorial, which was pretty much a cut down version of the demo. Some of the…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tragically, I think that the game misses the mark on what's really fun - building little ecosystems - in order to punish you in overworld puzzles that you can't win. I prepurchased this game because I really liked the demo for this game and am excited to see where it goes from here, however, I think there are a few key issues that need to be addressed before I can recommend it. 1. The game punishes you for playing it effectively (or at all) and the detriment vs. gain of structures is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was really excited for this game after playing the demo, and it is certainly very cute, at least, and I do like it. I sadly cannot recommend it right now, however. Having finished three guild quests and started a third, I got a good feel of the game so far, I think. The two quests I played are repetive to the point of absurdity - the main difference was that Blue robot liked to chat about technology while green robot liked to chat about nature. Both have a storyline about the other…

BioEden may be a perfectly fine game but after analyzing the EULA this is a 'lisence' not a copy. So displte you the user paying a purchasing price, they can revoke at anytime, thus you don't actually -own- this game. Let's be clear, I understand that buying a copy of the game does not mean you own Intellectual property of the game, what I expect is if I buy a game I want to own…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A few hours into this game - I didnt play the demo but feel like I could have gotten the same game experience out of it. I played on the Steam Deck at first and the controllers were not very good/half not working. Seems to run well on PC. This is a cute, cozy, sim that is visually pretty although its very repetitive. Build dome - set up habitat and plants - rinse, repeat. Not sure if there is much more to it, but seems to be the same thing over and over. Probably could have had a lot more…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Truth be told, I really want to like this game as the concept of a resource management game where you balance progress and impact whilst restoring biospheres is a great one and the demo, whilst limited, showed great promise. Unfortunately the execution has not delivered. The punishment/crisis element of the game can largely be ignored until you get to near 100%, making it largely redundant to account for and more a task of tedium to clear the map, the mission progression is pretty generic for…

neutral · AI labelView post →While it is cozy and easy to zone out on, there isn't any freedom really. Everything is predetermined basically. There's no reason to really replay it with a new save. As it is, it's not worth the price it's listed for honestly. I had a lot of hope for this game, but I feel pretty disappointed. Great concept, bad execution.

neutral · AI labelView post →Game was fun for the first 2 hours, but later on becomes slow and repetitive. I was expecting some more depth into the terraforming mechanic, but only have the option of clearing up resource pockets as well as cleaning up rivers and lakes. I think this game needs a lot more content and mechanic before it could be worth the price.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Going live with a sponsored stream today~ I'm going to be playing BioEden. It's a cozy comfy management/sim game, so you know I'm in for a good time. A big thanks to Dare Drop and Focus Entertainment for the key~
neutral · AI labelView post →First, I'll address the majority of the complaints about the game. Yes, it is very simple. Not a ton of strategy or decision making will be found here. On that note, however, the game is listed as "casual" so this complaint only comes from individuals who have little to no grasp of the English language. The gameplay loop is fairly easy, there is no punishment for having to step away or do something else while waiting for miners or purifiers to do their thing. I'd personally recommend it along…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A resource management "restorer" game that is quite newbie-accessible and lets you take it at your own pace. I strongly suggest you give the demo and know that the full thing adds some more endgame mechanics and some complexity to in-habitat enplacements.

neutral · AI labelView post →I guess I played this for 32 hours and have 100% the game. It took four days, so eight hours a day. I only play that much if I liked the game. However, I'm done and there's no reason for me to keep playing. Hopefully the devs add some stuff later. To the game's credit, it was fun. There were different strategies I could deploy and I felt satisfied when they worked out, but not frustrated if they didn't. There are six "guilds", including a tutorial guild, that come off with different…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love challenging management games, but I also like chill. This game has both. Youre not constantly trying to figure out what fire to put out next but you cant just go building like crazy and spending resources without care. There is a lull where you just have to wait for resources to build because you have to be careful how many technological buildings you can erect due to essentially trying to restore a pollution ruined planet, but it doesnt bother me. In fact, I can appreciate the change…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute, mindless, something to putter around with while contemplating nothing. The demo was entertaining enough that I decided to buy the game. Played through the tutorial and first two factions, then hit a brick wall where an intrinsic game mechanic failed to register correctly and completely locked campaign progression. All other win conditions were met, nothing moved forward. I've decided to put no further time into this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game after reading the mixed reviews and I honestly believe most of the people who have problems with the game are just rushing to fast. A key point of this game is gradual expantion in order to balance resources with your environmental impacts. I havn't played any games like this with such an emphasis on the environmental impacts of your actions. Its a great calm game to play in your free time. Can't wait to see any future updates!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As much as i want to recommend this game, i can't. I loved the demo and was so excited for the rull release, thinking there would be a lot more content. Turns out, it does not. The Animals / Domes makes no diffrence? You have to clean up the planet and the only way to do that is to clean the water and remove waste. There is nothing else to do and no decision making in the game. It tells you want to do, went to do it and how.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Currently I wouldn't recommend. I played the demo which was lacking in content and mechanics but the feel was nice so I had some hopes for the full release. Alas, the current release barely feels like an evolution from the demo. There is no significant additional mechanics. I hope more gameplay will be added to make this worth a purchase.

Of course it can have more features, be more detailed in the habitat building (more control) and so on, however i played through the technological guild, finished it - loved it. Going to play through the other guilds now and am not regretting anything, Read some of the other reviews about there being no control over decision making, no challenge with the habitats, etc. And yes, i do agree with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really nice crafted game, with a theme which resonates a lot in today ecology problems! The biome system is an interesting take on the genre. There are several species, with original designs to unlock, and it is an interesting on how to optimize the biome to keep "happy" every creatures. Moreover, technical wise nothing to say, it works really well, even on Steam Deck. TLDR => If you like original 4x games go for it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really enjoying this game so far. It has a very peaceful and relaxing atmosphere with a nice sense of progression. I like how exploration, building and resource gathering are balanced with the biomes shaping part, and seeing how the world changes as you remove pollution, making polluted and lifeless environments gradually become healthier and vibrant feels rewarding. Definitely a game I can see myself coming back to when I just want to chill and play for a while
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game scratches an itch for me that just requires me to keep playing better than a lot of games. If you love micromanagement games with puzzle-like solutions and repeatable play patterns, this game is for you. I love the gameplay loop of switching back and forth and especially in how it progressively opens up. The game is about 3 hours long (at maximum speed because I am not a psychopath) and you play it 6 times through with each time given a slightly different way to approach the game and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →People hating on this game seem to be the same people who hate on all indie games and it is just super unfair on the devs who are trying to get into the gaming sphere with the heavyweights like Microsoft. That being said this is a pretty solid game. It is challenging in the sense of trying to balance out the impact on the planet and cleaning the planet up. It is pretty satisfying though once you progress and you can see the planet getting clean. Graphics are beautiful. I have played for 6…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think there needs to be emphasis that this is a COZY and CASUAL game - you won't find extremely challenging gameplay or difficult puzzles that need to be solved. If you like resource management, habitat creation/balance, and watching a planet go from basically dead to restored, this game is definitely for you! If you're looking for complicated management sims, you might enjoy this less. I love creating the biomes for the animals, decorating them with plants, and watching the animals change to…

It's certainly less thinky than Terra Nil, so be prepared for a more relaxing experience where you can focus on the animals, the planet or your efficient economy. Love the game, but I wish I could play on a bigger map with all of the biomes and that the biomes each had something unique. Also, releasing the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoyed Hundred Days from the same devs, and I love BioEden too ! It's super cosy and lovely. The animals are cute, I'm enjoying the depollution mechanic a lot : it is super satisfying to watch. I love the atmosphere of this game, it is a very nice balance between management/construction and chill. Keep up the good work !
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quite a fun and relaxing game. Each campaign takes around 5 hours. Even the hardest one in the restoration guild campaign still gives more than enough resources to create a large network. The creature raising section is also a fun optimization mini game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a very fun resource management and restoration game that i would highly reccomend. However there are many systems in the game which feel unfishined or very shallow. The 5 guilds have exact same gameplay loops with no real unique changes to the way you interact with the world. The unique buildings that the guilds have serve no mechanical function and are just another checkbox on the list of quests to complete the game. The crisis system is ultimately easy to ignore as at worst it stops…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you liked Terra Nil, you'll probably like this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The perfect cozy strategy game, with a lot of animals to discover and a planet to save from pollution. It's a good game to chill for many hours trying to complete every route.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am LOVING this game. It's an almost perfect blend of my two loves, conservation biology and cozy sim management games. There are few (very very few) things that bug me, but they're mostly UI and instruction based, and once I got it I was golden.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Perfect game if you want to chill - there is no time limits, so you can go at your own pace. It feels so satisfying to restore the planet and make all creatures into the shining status! All guilds feels quite unique, tho a fungus one I think is actually one of the easiest contrary to what it says in their description - water cleaning facility unlocked quite early and you can go and clean the map almost from the start. It is also quite sad that some techs are locked behind if you didn't choose…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't write reviews often, but based on a lot of the bad ones I felt the need to. I think this game is great. Yes, it is basically like the demo, I spent a little over 3 hours on that and replayed it twice I believe. It's not a super demanding, watch everything nonstop, but it's very enjoyable for me. I have only replayed the tutorial, and just started the first actual mission and already have over 2 hours in. I am not trying to speed through everything, just take it in and enjoy. I think…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game.. It's repetitive and casual easy. Yes it's simple and that's exactly why i like, it scratches some simple repetitive itch. My tism is very happy with this game and i forget the time playing it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very enjoyable non-stressful eco restoration game, much as advertised. I had played several hours of the demo before deciding I wanted to buy, and do not regret my decision. The first real (non tutorial) playthrough took me about 8 hours and could probably have gone quicker but I wanted to get all zones down to 0% pollution. I've only achieved about 50% of the possible achievements and may strive for 100%. I had a good time with this one!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While it's a new release and there's some minor bugs and mix ups- I'm very impressed. It's a calm, strategic, and addictive game that's definitely going to gain a huge following and quickly. The price is a little steep- but the graphics, storyline, and pacing of the game make it worth the investment. I have no issue spending money on something that clearly the developers have put a lot of love and effort behind. I'm excited to see where else they will take it- and again I'm impressed by how…
