I bought Tharsis the day it came out and one the 2nd day I had 5+ hours on it. Im glad I watched the guys play it on IGN before I tried a game. I feel like people don't like it at first because it takes so long to learn. After the first 3 hours of playing it, I finally figured out how to make it to Mars most of the time. I would recommend anyone that wants to play it to watch a tutorial first. Once I get all the trophies on it Ill be done playing. I think it was worth the $12
