[This is based on playing this gamer quickly since I have not placed enough hours in.]

The premise of the game has a lot of good potential from grade-school children who are learning the basics of earth science (or the general public) to adults who are majors in geology and beyond. What this game has done was make the settings of changing the land settings with hills, mountains, streams, rivers, volcanic activity, etc., and give the effects of those geologic causes for the player to see.

Unfortunately, I don't think the current game as of now works in advanced detail since it does not show enough parts and pieces from both a gaming perspective and a geomorphic perspective (I am biased since I have finished geomorphology) with specific types of rivers like the formation of oxbow lakes or seeing braided river channels more often.

If there are any recommendations that I have, they would be similar to other reviewers' feedback like dynamic weather, contour lines, sinkholes, etc. But I would also include having a sound that comes from the game; viscosity and explosiveness based on the silica content of the lava (like explosive lava in the Cascade region of the west side of the continental United States or the lava flow like the ones in Hawaii via hotspot or Iceland due to the tectonic rift), and giving more details of the river like braided streams or anastomosing rivers.

I think this game has PLENTY of potential and as a soon-to-be geology graduate, I look forward to how things go.

P.S. Even though I am a geology major, I don't precisely remember everything, so I keep my college textbooks after purchase.
