Fun game. Somewhat like Stranded: Alien dawn without any life around. It's too bad we only get 3 characters to control per mission. Hopefully it will expend to more. Graphics are good. Game play is stable. Encountered some bugs but not dramatic like i've read. You need a good video card to play. I bought it even if it's early access because i don't want it to suffer the Jumplight odyssey and Stranded:Alien dawn fate. Game is a fun base builder and moon explorer. Not relax. Game is full of environmental dangers. Just found my 3rd colonist and i still have more stuff to unlock. Can't wait to see what the developers have in store. More survivors would be nice. 8/10

Pretty fun, definitely leans into the feel of surviving on a space outpost in a great way. Repairing holes in the outpost is done very well, and accompanied by good music etc. I like the UI, the SFX, the music is top notch (very interstellar) Voiceovers are a bit meh. The module and upgrade system for teh station is great, once I realised how it worked, it made alot of sense. Art style is good, environments a little bit undetailed, but objects aren't which looks a bit odd next to eachother. Gameplay is fun, I do enjoy it the mix of physicalised vs non-physicalised objects is a little inconsistent and I don't like micromanaging my astronaughts forever, I do like that they can have items in their inventory they use automatically, but I would have thought a game like this would have some auto-actions more like Alien: Stranded Dawn, e.g. if a character is <X% on eating, then I'd have expected they just go...eat. or two idle characters would just chat without being told to. Feels a bit like commanding robots otherwise. But I'm enjoying the game, and I've not even touched all of it yet. edit A few bugs can creep in, such as station modules not being recognised, and the models not updating so they clip, the elevator model clips overtly with the station too

I like the premise of the game,but, there is too many things going on at the same time. there is an electrical storm or seismic thing happening too many times. make them less frequent. the pioneers oxygen runs out too fast, they can never get too from base to accomplish anything. the game is well worth playing. one of the few games that can hold my attention. keep making improvments cause I like playing it.

May 2024

great game but the disasters need to be rebalanced, I was in day 7 and had electrical, meteor, earthquake, panic, refusals, 10 breaches, no oxygen, hungry, tired, and how the hell do I even get moral up? Because none of the morale boosting modules or items do jack.

Dec. 2023

played for 8hours, did 1 successful run through, few bugs here and there, rover control is annoying, could use a bigger map (but defeats the purpose the game (which is to escape)) it's not designed to be endless, resources are pretty abundant on normal Needs more polishing, but shows promise
