✦ AI summary

Astrominer offers an enjoyable sandbox mining experience in space with intuitive core movement and a satisfying Dwarf Fortress-like vibe, but players report significant quality-of-life issues including lack of pause functionality, poor control customization with no key rebinding or gamepad support, and dated presentation with tiny fonts and UI problems that cover important information. The game has received no updates in years and feels unpolished in its current state, leaving players frustrated despite the fun core premise.

Recommended Nov 6, 2023
I liked the overall feel when loading up the game. Landing page was neat. When loading up the game the movement was intuitive. I think my favorite part was just floating around in space mining stuff. Felt like Dwarf Fortress in space. That was fun. It would be nice to see a pause feature in the game. I also had some trouble understanding how to build things at first. I got the hang of it.

Terrible game. No updates in years...no key rebinding either. Half the world uses qwerty and yet you have to use NIJKL and whatever else nonsense to interact with things. Movement stutters at a snails pace, the fonts are either tiny and grainy looking, or the windows cover everything important. The game is a huge mess and unplayable. Do not waste your money unless the developer does a major update and over haul. Had to refund the game for these reasons. If the developer ever decides to do what players expect in games of this genre....like add gamepad support and key rebinding I would buy it again and change review. But it needs options as well that arent in the menu. There are only a few options in the game and none of the standard ones you would expect to see. Apparently the dev has heard plenty from players about fixing things....but hasnt yet.
