Packed full of charming robots and thoughtful gameplay, The Colonists is a great city builder that controls great on console.
80%The Colonists Switch Review – Cute, Cuddly Colonization
The Colonists is a great game overall. It simplifies the 4X strategy genre down into a charming and chilled experience with adorable little robots that make watching your civilization thrive all the more enchanting. Its problems on the Switch come from a lack of mouse and keyboard inputs and some rather vague (or buggy) mechanics that could do with further explaining for novices and newcomers alike. If you've access to a PC capable of running it, I'd wholeheartedly recommend that version over any of the console ports, but if you're looking for a fun little strategy game to take with you on-the-go that's not overly punishing for every slight mistake you make, The Colonists has you covered.
