Do you like Harvest moon, or Stardew Valley? Do you like space? Then have I got a game for you. The game play loop is a cool twist on the pixel art farming sim. Terraform a planet, collect bugs, grow a colony. I like it

I love this game so much. As soon as I started playing, I couldn't put it down. I'm sort of heartbroken at all the negative reviews, so although I have never left a steam review, I'm writing this one. First, since everyone else has addressed Stardew Valley: SV is eight years old, and has received constant updates for those eight years. At time of writing, One Lonely Outpost is about eight moths old. So yes, there is a lot less content, and less polish. I think that's as far as the two games need to be compared. They are different games, this isn't a Stardew Valley clone. If that's what you want to play, go play Stardew Valley. If you want something different, play this! The concept of this game is great. Farming sim meets city builder, you are tasked with terraforming a new planet and building a colony there. I thought that stage of the game moved a little fast, if anything. You're only alone for about a week, and by one month in you've built up a little town of 5 or 6 others. I'm not sure if this has been sped up as a result of earlier reviews, but I was expecting more loneliness! I like the characters, the art style is great, and the dialogue is charming. The gameplay starts out very basic. It's a deserted planet, all you have is what you brought with you. As the planet is terraformed, and as more people show up, you will unlock more things to do, such as mining and catching bugs. The mining is based on the old computer game Minesweeper, and it's actually pretty fun. Bug catching is a timing based mechanic, which I'm bad at, but it's easy enough that I'm catching some bugs. The basic gameplay loop is solid, though. It's very chill, and despite being responsible for all life on the planet, I never feel stressed or pressured. Speaking of bugs: it's an early access game, but I haven't run into anything terrible. Some of the characters seem to walk to places that have nothing there - future building sites? The calendar is weird, and the system for counting the days is confusing. Sometimes a line of dialogue will reference an aspect of the game that hasn't unlocked. It seems a little too easy to slip into flirting with the "single" characters. Sometimes I have to spin in a circle in the doorway when I want to exit a room. No actual problems yet, and I'm about 16 hours in. I've played this game exclusively on Steam Deck. The font is a little small, especially in the Calendar, sometimes it's hard to tell whose birthday it is. The controls run well. A few things took some experimenting, but I adjusted to the controls very quickly. The graphics seem smooth to me, although I know that a lot of people have higher standards than I do with that. I love this game, I'm so excited to see how it develops! But honestly, even if it was never updated again, I feel that the experience I've had so far was worth the price I paid for it.

I have loved farming sims since Simfarm back in the day. Never would I have thought the genre would come so far! I really appreciate the way the developers have integrated a fun farming gameplay loop, with broader elements of community as you work to revive an alien planet making it habitable. Fun times :)

Wanted to review this game after the latest update because it has a lot of negative ones. The game is supposed to feel lonely at the beginning, it's in the name. The reward is watching the world develop around you. Now that you can sprint I highly recommend this game for anyone who likes cozy games like Stardew Valley and Littlewood, but wants more of a linear story and a changing world as days/years pass. I played about 15 hours before the update and barely scratched the surface of the story and I'm super excited log a ton more hours now.

The negative reviews on this game are baffling to me. Listen. If you enjoyed Stardew Valley and the gameplay loop of plant crops, water crops, and harvest crops, you will love this game. It starts off rather desolate, because you are the first to arrive on a dead alien planet. But as you farm and map out the region, more and more colonists will arrive to help you in your efforts to make the planet inhabitable. Both the pixel art and the character portraits are gorgeous. Good sound effects. Nice variety of crops to farm are available, both human and alien. I cannot wait to see how this game continues to expand and grow. Excellent work so far. :)
