This might eventually become a game, maybe even a good one, but so far it is barely a tech demo. IMHO this not suitable for publishing yet, not even as Early Access, and certainly not for the price they ask. I intend to keep it though and will try to update if I see significant changes.13 found this helpful

Load into game, go into the menu. Barely any settings. Change resolution to make sure I had the right one, click apply. Confirmation screen remains after clicking OK. Spend a couple of minutes clicking around until the X in the corner closes the menu and sends me back to main menu. Load into a new world, start looking around.... game feels extremely choppy when turning. Lots of pop in at a distance, grass is a different shade of green every few steps, looks like it's just coloured in a grid with a weird grading. Continue to try and find Iron ore and Copper ore. There is only lithium, lithium, stone, stone, and a little bit of coal. Run around for about 5 minutes in an outwards spiral. No copper or Iron, barely any ore deposits in the ground, but the grass is so large, a lot of deposits are hard to spot to begin with. Find a pillar puzzle, do it, get no feedback on any rewards. spending 5 minutes because the menu is bugged, and 5 minutes trying to find basic starter resources, all while feeling like I was playing a game on a server on another continent, with the choppy turning. There is a basic lack of understanding of game designs, and should not even be in early access. Feels l…2 found this helpful
Could this game be good? Maybe, sure but it really isn't there yet. This game has been out for almost a year so while I don't expect perfection the issues it has should have been long fixed by now. Some but not all of the Issues: The UIs are very clunky. The journal menu only has manual buttons to turn pages. When you build things in your workshop leaving that menu requires you to go to the structure building menu with a long animation, then you can fully exit build mode. Did you build two ore gatherers nearby? Well the ore being collected will flash back and forth and you can't tell how much of anything you have. You want to see what your robot pal said last well who knows where to find that info. When you get a second quest to follow the quest info in the corner overlaps just enough to be annoying. Again, could this game be good? Sure maybe, but it needs a lot of work.1 found this helpful
