PlayStation LifeStyleKeri HoneaOct 20168/10Despite this reining in on being a tyrannical god, Reus is phenomenal. It has that right balance of allowing players to move as quickly or as slow as they want for newcomers to the genre or seasoned god veterans. The only time I felt overwhelmed is when I let myself become that way by growing too many villages. With the number of unlockables for abilities and developments, even these veterans will find plenty to do in Reus for several hours, and better yet, they’ll enjoy that time as much as the newbies.

TrueAchievementsLexley FordOct 20164/5 starsREUS presents the world as if the almighty was an accountant. It is as much a game about crunching numbers as it is about creating a paradise for humanity, but its beautiful setting helps to mask how logic-driven it really is. It's both confusing and addictive in equal measure and manages to find a great balance between continuously providing a challenge and not overwhelming players. Once you get to grips with the minutia, everything begins to make sense. It's not always easy to get everything running smoothly, but when you do it is immensely satisfying.

TwinfiniteChaz MillerOct 20164/5All in all, Reus is a deceptively complicated game that seems to get more complex the longer you play. Completing more games and earning achievements allows longer play times, unlocks new abilities for your Giants, and generally gives you a deeper experience.

The Loot GamingMike RossOct 20165/10Reus offers pointless simulation at the expensive cost of your precious time. By far, it has been the most boring experience I’ve ever had while having gods under my command. Having a poor UI, lack of objectives, slow pacing, and self-limitations, there’s not much room left for strategy or fun. It’s a very basic simulator which needs much more complex to be truly special. It’s fun for a few hours but that’s it. The developers need to add more content so that it can remain engaging for extended periods of time.
