Space Colony Survival
Strategy!
Watch the video before
you start the tutorial – or you may kill your colonists
http://planetbase.madrugaworks.com/media/
PlanetBase is a strategy game where you guide a group of
space settlers trying to establish an outpost on a remote planet.
In the game you play the role of the base architect and
manager, telling your colonists where to build the structures they will need to
survive. You will have to ensure that they have a constant supply of oxygen,
food and water to stay alive.
You will get them to collect energy, extract water, mine
metal, grow food, manufacture bots, and build a fully self-sufficient base.
Even if the game
is not intended to be a simulator, all the mechanics are plausible, and based
on what the expected challenges of establishing a colony in an new planet would
be.
A little long but gives good ideas and a lot of poor choices:
People die of starvation!

You have been given this new game and told to write a series of posts about it.
The DAY 1 post with the 'reveal'. You write a first impression firstly based on the trailer then another on the walk-thru video. A screenshot is necessary.
The DAY 2 post will be the 'preview'. You will play through the tutorial and write about your experience. Take screenshots to supplement your writing. Afterwards you will also write about the features of the game based on the website.
The DAY 3 post and each day afterwards constitute the 'review'. You play the game. Here you describe how you played the game and how to play the game with screenshots. You give insight in the form of tips and tricks you have discovered. These, in particular, should be accompanied by screenshots.
The more comprehensive the blog post the better the mark.
