UPDATE: 03/21/2018
I WILL KEEP MY ORIGINAL REVIEW DOWN THERE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES.

I didn't got time to play this game since launch, so i've decided to give it another chance.

Its been 2 years since my original review. What have changed since?
NOTHING! Really, nothing have changed (gameplay wise). The only new feature here is a campaign that is bugged and boring as ♥♥♥♥.
Multiplayer still unplayable. Believe me, nobody will be able to play with you. Forget coop, MP is a lag hell.
There were only about 8 servers in my list (all player made). All of them only had a single person playing (which is the own host). I tried connecting to a few ones, but its unplayable. Like i said, its lag hell...

On singleplayer, you got a few scenarios to play, but soon you will realise that playing them alone is boring as hell. This game wasn't made to play SP, but at the same time MP dont work.
Now, to make things worse, people are saying that bohemia have cut the funding for this game.

CONCLUSION:
This game wont get better, MP will never get fixed, bugs will never get fixed. This game is DEAD!
It's dead, Jim...

Stay away from this one. There ain't much games of this genre out there, but if you are really want some space themed game with building mechanics and some survivval aspects, you could try Space Engineers.

OLD REVIEW:

This is one of those alphalock games (forever locked in alpha). I really want to recommend this game, but i can't. It has so many bugs that it makes Assassin's Creed Unity looks like a piece of art.

Updates are rare and we are not talking about an indie studio here.

I bought this in a 4 pack to play with friends, but guess what? Multiplayer is unplayable (luckily i got it on a summer sale).

Anyway, this game can have future, but only in the hands of another studio. I hope those guys wake up.

@Dram: Great! Looking forward on bug fixing.

Right now we are focusing on completing the remaining features, there are a few left. Right after that we are shifting to bugfixing. So within the next few weeks we should see the optimizations come in :)

@Dram: any news on multiplayer optimization?
Like i said, i want to recommend this game. It have a solid concept, but the lack of optimization is killing it.

Hi, certainly do not wish to influence your review, but we've actually been releasing a build consistently every month. Here is the entire game's change log:

I hope that clarifies your concerns :) Also we are releasing a major content update within 1 to 2 weeks featuring the International Space Station with full interior and physics.

Kind regards,
