Reus is a god game in which the player controls giants who can modify the nature of the planet through terraforming, creating life, and altering genes.

[8] Reus (Dutch for "giant") was announced by Abbey Games in a blog post on their website on June 21, 2012.

GameSpot awarded the game with an 8.0 out of 10 score, citing that "Reus grows into a game that presents complex challenges, a great deal of flexibility, and the freedom to determine your own standards of success, or to simply enjoy experimenting with the landscape and toying with humans.

The game's art style was praised, but its repetitiveness along with its "needlessly complex and unintuitive system of synergies and transmutations" were cause for criticism.

[7] Destructoid praised Reus and gave it a score of 9 out of 10; while flaws were mentioned, the game was cited as being "a delight to play at every turn, and it strikes the perfect balance between providing new content and not overloading players.
