✦ AI summary

The Lonely Miner is a satisfying incremental mining game with a well-paced progression loop that keeps players engaged as they watch their character become progressively faster and more efficient. Players praise its straightforward gameplay, pleasant aesthetic compared to typical idle games, and the ability to play either actively or in the background, though most note the experience is relatively short and can be completed within a few hours.

A quick but fun incremental mining game. Good in terms of speed it takes to 100% and upgrade over time.

Fun incremental/idle game about mining rocks and selling them to help you mine rocks faster. I played this when it was just a demo and I had a good time then. In the full release the skill tree has been completely reworked with the addition of being able to Prestige now. Honestly the speed at which you gain power is great, not too fast and not too slow either. At the time of writing I don't know if there is any ''ending'' or if it is endless. It can be played Idle at a slower rate or active depending on what you want. Overall I think the game is worth the price and will give you a few hours of entertainment or something to do in the background

It's OK. 2.5 hours to 100% achievements. The loop is simple and linear. No serious skill required, doesn't help progress faster.

The Lonely Miner has a surprisingly fun gameplay loop. There's not a huge amount of variety, but mining and progressing through the game feels satisfying, especially as you can clearly see your character getting faster and more efficient. Pros: - Surprisingly fun and satisfying gameplay loop. - Progress feels meaningful, especially when you notice how much faster you become over time. - The gameplay and graphics are a nice change of pace and stand out from the usual look of idle games. Cons: - The game is very short and can be finished within a few hours. - The Prestige Tree could use some serious improvements, for example by adding more inventory slots. - There is a lot of potential here that could be unlocked by expanding the Prestige system with more meaningful upgrades and progression. Overall: The Lonely Miner is a short but surprisingly enjoyable idle game. The core gameplay loop works really well, but the game ends just when it starts getting interesting. With a deeper Prestige system and more content, this could be a much more engaging long-term idle game.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
