Red Thomas takes a look at Colony Survival and borrows children from his sister again to see how kid-friendly the game might be. Red explores the game with his nephews and comes up with a few ideas for how to help youths enjoy the game a little more, though with some adult support.

    Thank you for this review. Creative games like that that provide a challenge are needed to bring together adults and kids in a productive way.

    I'm writing today to bring to your attention something I witnessed in being a member of this game's community. In my time there, the games developer spent an inordinate amount of time and energy airing political grievances in the games chat channels. When Political memes were posted which attempted to dehumanize people whom civil rights had been violated and had been murdered, the developer ( pipliz ) openly and privately defended them as "True", he didn't seem to understand the nuance of what can or cannot be proven false, and what is obvious dehumanization of entire groups of people to excuse violations of civil rights and murder. I requested he remove political content from the games channel in an attempt to keep Gaming communities about gaming, and he flatly refused. As a supporter of first amendment rights and freedom of speech, I understand the nuance of the argument, but to openly air your own political grievances, and to allow and defend political memes which excuse violence and murder, I find it wholly inappropriate that this person runs a gaming community and that it is featured on your website, and I would ask you to review or reconsider your showcasing, hosting, or linking to this game, Whose owners and developers do not seem to take seriously their responsibility. This is definitely not a game which should be approved for children, as the content of their chat channels are wholly un-moderated, something not uncommon but the developers themselves openly interacting with and defending dehumanizing, violent, and vile content is something else entirely.

    Please consider contacting and seeking clarification regarding these matters with the games developers and making a decision whether this is a game you wish to support. Especially, "With Kids!"
