The Game Crater gave The Colonists a score of 9.5/10
The Colonists is brilliant, beautiful, complex yet easy to understand, and best of all, fun. It doesn’t waste your time, and it doesn’t frustrate or annoy you. It is pure, unadulterated fun. The Colonists is a phenomenally fantastic experience and one of the best games I’ve played all year.
