“fantastic game for those wanting to explore and build bases w/o worrying for monsters or enemies to hurt you or destroy your base, must be careful with environmental hazards though. May not be great for people wanting…”
“I have spent countless hours immersed in this game, exploring and building. The gameplay loop is so crunchy and satisfying, and it keeps getting better with every patch and update.”
“I used to play Astroneer on Xbox back in 2021 and 5 years later switch to steam and it is just as fun, I have built a massive mountain base and now I have downloaded older builds to play and preserve, it isn't for…”

“This game shows a lot of character and charm, but is just missing a lot of the meat that makes Open World Survival Crafting games worthwhile and fun. This sadly only becomes more pronounced the longer you play the game.…”

“nice game, sadly it has a gamebreaking bug in it that despawns crucial mission items, so if you spend 124 hours having fun and then want to do your missions, you cant xP”

“After about 80 hours trying to collect all the achievements, I can confidently call this game a time sink — and not in a good way. It took nearly 80 hours to “finish.” A few elements are fun, but the user interface is…”

“AVOID!!! Gameplay is kinda "meh" (leaning towards bad) with egregious, almost AAA-levels monetization. Survival novelties get old quite quick and the game become rather boring. Building is clunky and often frustrating…”
“Love the vibe of the game- you actually need to use your brain when calculating some of the resources. Just wish there was a better way to get more space for your backpack and carry things. Also love the galastropods…”

For example the UI, while very immersive, is very confusing at first, and tedious at best. I would have welcomed the ability to quickly sift through recipes,…”
