✦ AI summary

Cosmonautica has interesting core gameplay concepts and a charming visual style that some players find engaging, but it suffers from significant technical issues including frequent crashes, fullscreen bugs, and poor combat mechanics that make progression frustrating and unrewarding. The game feels abandoned by developers with excessive grinding, slow pacing, and missions that lack meaningful impact on the world, though players who enjoy its simplicity sometimes find it addictive despite these flaws.

Too much grinding and not enough to do. Graphicaly funny. The game design is poor and has not been modernized, here are a couple of problems and solutions I have noticed that makes the game bad and age poorly : - The game has research but you research things that everyone in the universe already has access to : Remove the current research, make all items available in the equipment store, and access to locations with permits sold in the capital planet of each star system. - Slow game. Even at fast forward, the game is super slow forcing the player to wait. A player that waits does not play, and if he does not play he is unhappy. Solution : x10 speed or even a "jump to location" option to remove the wait. - Missions do not seem to change anything to the game world. For the 21st century game, it is sad that such a game does not have such a feature. Each mission should change something. I cannot recommand such a game. The design is too poor and research is not research but just a drag to make you wait. The game is just a bunch of waiting steps. The devs were not smart in their design. They should have remove the waiting and grind with things to do, make research a …

Really tried to enjoy the game but between the bugs and horrible combat I couldn't even finish the main story. First bug kept me from going into fullscreen so I had to play it in windowed the whole time, second bug made the game crash every 15 minutes, at least the auto save was good. Combat is horrible and never worth it, the cost to repair your ship and replace your ammo is never covered by the loot you gain. Also, the enemy constantly shields your attacks and out maneuvers your ship since you cant steer your ship and only have simple commands on what to do (AI does all the moving for you). I had the most expensive battleship, 2 full eleveled piolets and 3 great shooters and still would get my ass handed to me since turrets and torpedoes only hit the enemy if their at a specific spot on your ship, but thats the issue; the enemy is either too far, behind you, or to your side, so most of your weapons are useless. Fun trading game bogged down by horrible decisions.

This game is fun and addictive. The simplicity of it is what kept me trying to play. As I kept playing I kept encountering bug after bug, game crashing every 45 minutes, missions not working properly, and not even able to put it into full screen mode. Looking into fixes I learned that this game was abandoned by the developers pretty much right at launch. There is no modding community or fan made fixes for this game. Buy it on sale for less than a dollar, and even than that is being generous. If any one has the skill set, knowledge and love for this game. Please take over and start a modding community. This game is in my opinion a raw gem that needs TLC to become polished and enjoyable.
