About Tin Can

✦ AI summary

Repair interconnected spacecraft systems component-by-component while managing oxygen, temperature, and pressure in realistic conditions as cosmic disasters strike your failing escape pod. The game stands out with organic mechanical failures, authentic survival physiology, and a detailed onboard manual that's your only lifeline against a cold death in space.

You've barely managed to escape your exploding spaceship. Now in an old escape pod, you hurtle through space at the mercy of the cosmos. With no knowledge of the pod’s complex systems, your life depends on a technical manual and your own wits. How long can you survive?

✦ AI summary

Tin Can has a unique premise that appeals to players who enjoy system maintenance and technical challenges, but suffers from poor tutorial design and unclear mechanics that leave many frustrated and confused during gameplay. The game is plagued by inconsistencies between what the tutorial teaches and what actually appears in ranked modes, combined with insufficient guidance on how to solve problems, making it feel more like a stressful speed-run than the relaxing simulation some expected.

This game is very unique, but it is full of bad game design decisions which make it end up being boring. Even though I spent a lot of time in this game, I really can't recommend this to anyone who's not a fan of games where you maintain systems and chill for hours. But it's definitely worth trying on sale, I just don't think there's enough fun to be had for the full price. And since it's not in early access and the last update was many months ago, I'm guessing there won't be any major changes in the future. The problem is that in the rescue missions (I assume it's supposed to be the main gamemode because it's on the top) there's just nothing happening, while at the same time there's not enough information given to you. So it goes like this - you wait for 15 minutes until you encounter a new event, you don't know what to do, you die. The death screen tells you what you were supposed to do (or if it doesn't, you have to figure it out by trial and error). So next time you have to wait 15 minutes for that event again, and if you figured it out, then you just do that and wait for it to end. When you know how to deal with each event, this game is just an incredibly boring game of waitin…

As someone who just purchased this game for VR.. I can't recommend it. Let's talk the tutorial. Just getting your hands in things is fun, but.. It barely teaches you anything. I do not mind figuring things out myself by sitting down and going through the manual while everything is falling apart around me.. The problem I have is how the tutorial teaches you that there are spare parts in the drawers.. And then when you get into the Ranked mode (which is just endless survival essentially), you don't find any spare components to.. make parts out of, should you need to repair something. That's disappointing, teaching you something that isn't in the game. Yet, when you point to the Desktop version.. You actually have 60 seconds to loot the storage for parts. Hell, even the tutorial in VR told you to do that.. Yet, where is that experience? You are automatically punished for playing this game in VR, because now you have to figure out which components are non vital... in your first 60 minutes of playing this game. I find the act of tinkering itself fun at least. I want to look at how everything is falling apart on a component level and.. hell, try to make it work somehow even If it mak…

i was expecting a more chillaxed simulation.... what i got it's a puzzle/memory/speed run... now i understand why all reviews are under 1-2 hours, thats pretty much the time u need to see everything in this "game"... not for me, maybe someone who likes speedruns.

Fun game, tickles the technician inside me. Wish more games were like this.

While the premise is fun and ill be honest i myself is terrible under time pressure, but i think this game needs a little more guide in the manual, as of now i still cant beat the survive 15 Minutes round, because i dont know whats wrong, ive reset the power, restore the Oxygen and Co2 Machine, replace the gas tank, restore the gravity, i have done everything i can think of but still the power keeps shutting down.

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.
