Life in Reterra shows the end of the world as we know it, but you'll feel fine. This isn't a grotty post-apocalypse; you won't find a single zombie or viking biker gang to fend off. There's also a distinct lack of "we were the monsters all along, actually." Instead, it's a cozy calamity. Nature is reclaiming civilization, relics of the past are being recycled, and everyone seems swell. It's weirdly uplifting.
Its gameplay is a fan of recycling too. Life in Rettera is inspired by some of today's best board games, and that leaves us with a moreish experience which is accessible yet strategic. Honestly, it took me by surprise; I rarely rave about new games after playing them, but this one? It's something special.
