Oct. 2024

An excellent, slow-paced survival-crafter game. Pros: * Lots and lots of secrets to discover. * Great tech tree to unlock. * A surprising number of biomes. * Freaking beautiful, and great (low-annoyance) soundtracks. Cons: * Some of the late-game mechanics aren't explained very well. (genetics, mostly, tho that may've been because I unlocked mammals way later than I should've) * One biome ( rainbow caves ) is key to mid-to-late game progress - if you haven't found it yet, you're almost crippled by a lack of quartz varieties. A hint towards it would have been nice. Meh: * Most of the late-game "special" foods' perks were... useless, to me? I certainly never bothered, anyhow. TL;DR: If you like exploring/crafting games, 9/10; else, avoid.

A great solo survival experience for those that don't play with friends. You'll experience the highs of terraforming a planet a planet in real time while you work through a progression of better equipment to help you explore and survive . I've only played up to unlocking the first rockets but I enjoyed every moment I played and only put it down to play my favourite MMO for a while. Finally, a game worth its overwhelming positive reviews. Not only did the developers speed through early access they listened to feedback and made a more than viable 1.0 update. Look forward to the future here.

A game that scratches the Subnautica itch. Terraform a planet from barren to bountiful, from uninhabitable to habitable. This game has strong depth in crafting and was addictive at times. I did feel the middle portion of the terraformation levels was somewhat boring, and I found myself without a lot of tasks to do and just waiting as my terraforming metrics went up steadily. Maybe that balancing will be fixed in the 1.0 release. Overall would recommend this game. I had a lot of fun.

March 2024

Gave me the 'Minecraft for the first time' feeling, something I never thought I'd feel again. It's a world to get lost in. Stuff to explore, cool bases to build, danger to avoid (asphyxiation, dehydration, starvation), and a lot of gear and blueprints to unlock that helps with all three. It's not a perfect game. The terrain get a little weird (sudden rock formation pop-in, collision mesh not quite matching the model), but this is mostly a problem in the late game outer areas. Make sure to have an alarm ready, You WILL lose track of time playing this.

March 2024

I know I'm echoing what most everyone else is saying already, but this was my experience: I downloaded the demo for this game not knowing anything about it. I thought "Oh, this is one of those survival/crafting/exploration games" and that was enough for me to give it a try. After a couple hours, I was completely hooked and bought the full game. What I wasn't expecting was how WELL DONE this game is. The gameplay loop is top notch and incredibly rewarding. Then the icing on the cake is getting constantly delighted and wowed by the amount of exploration and discoveries you make along the way of terraforming this plant. For only being in early access, this game is already packed with awesome places to explore, tech to build, and very cool lore. Safe to say, I am so glad I found this game and can't wait for 1.0 release. Kudos to Miju Games for knocking this out of the park!
