Planet Explorers

Unfinished and now kind of janky by now standards, it is still a good solid game and they made it free since they did not finish it.

This game was never really finished. It had an interesting physics-based gear, vehicle, and object editor which might have amounted to something unique if it had received a bit more attention to make the controls stable and well explained. It had a potentially interesting story which if it had ever actually been finished and the various story-related sites had ever been fully populated, but they weren't. It had a potentially interesting colony system, which had their building tools been refined might have been quite fun. Sadly, it was abandoned well before any of that happened, hastily "finished" along one very unclear linear story line, and then promptly lost its community as well (which might have been able to contribute an amazingly diverse amount of customization had the building tools been refined further). So, no, there's nothing to recommend here but ideas. It's a frustratingly paced, frustratingly slow, frustratingly incomplete game which had dated graphics and odd physics from launch.

I understand the devs lost their source code with some server issue, but what kind of developers are so incompetent that their are no backups of their data? Seriously.

Really enjoyed this game. It had fantastic co-op gameplay, and my family and I spent many hours exploring, building, and having fun together. The alien world was both beautiful and dangerous, making exploration exciting. The building mechanics were enjoyable too. They were a little clunky at times, but considering this was many years ago, they were still very impressive. One of my favourite memories was building a house and then creating a miniature version of it to display on a table inside the original. It's disappointing that development stopped, as the game had so much potential. With continued support, I genuinely believe it could have become something special. Even as it stands, it's a game I'll always remember.

this game came out way back, in early access and never actually finished (think osiris:new dawn. devs marked it as finished but it was never "actually" finished). Its okay but full of jank. You can build design ect but its mechanics is terrible compared to other games. Not worth the the money, This is more like of a terrible verson of kenshi (which is a great game) with worse combat and build mechanics. Do not recommend.

Planet Explorers multiplayer is not working. then i read they have no backups and they dont wanted a community multiplayer mod added. they destroyed her game in multible ways. Pathea Games is a red flag for me. They trashed my license without refund or compensation.
