Infamous evolutionary flopSpore, for all its flaws, still had a lot of magic to it. It was fun to design your weird creatures, to watch them try to walk, and - in principle - to turn your humble creations into a spacefaring species.

Day Of the Devs - The Game Awards Edition
I drew comparisons with Spore, a game which tried to do everything, so I should stress that it doesn’t look like you’re directly creating the life that can wander about your planets. Instead, you seem to interact with the physics and elements of the solar system. For example, you can drag a cloud around to spread rainwater across the surface of a planet, perhaps turning it into an ocean world or simply making flowers grow.
There’s a playfulness to every interaction which I really enjoy. Don’t like one of those flowers? Pluck it from the ground and toss it into deep space.
There’s no release date yet - and a lot of the footage used in the Day Of The Devs video comes from trailers released earlier this year - but you canfollow the game on Steam.
