I just love running around and blowing up fabricators, using the spear, 110mm rockets, bombing run, and precision bombardment. Sniping fabbers from 200m is fun.

Fun part is most of those can be turned on high difficulty bots just as well.

I was so eager to play late at night after I got it that I accidentally booted the demo again and still had a good time.

This feels as if it has more of that older Minecraft charm than modern microcrapft.

In a hotkey config in my OTTD documents folder I set T in the order menu to 'Transfer' for bussing people to and from airports easier, so I can cover a whole city without shoving an airport up their alimentary canal, and then made multiple multi-city double-airport networks with to and from airports like an up and down railway network in the sky, so I can interconnect every passenger to every town without having to give every town a cluttered airport with airplanes going to and from every other town's airport.

Is good game!

Cookie Crasher. This crumby game executable sure crumbles. The game is rather flaky. Somebody put raisins in my executable. Man what a half baked host for a browser game. I'm getting rather burnt out of the smell of my game burning. Too much baking soda. I'm biting into egg shells in the eggsecutable. This game's stuck to the pan. The game spits ME out. Hodge podge baker's sale. Cookies crash HARD. My sugar cookies are sour. My chocolate chips are rather salty. Somebody put the oatmeal in my sugar cookies.

Got hundreds of hours in this game that aren't even online.

One time the power ran out, and I wondered what I could do to amuse myself anyway. A laptop, this game, minimum brightness, no sound, and I relied on an MP3 player for music. This efficient, optimally-optimized game ran for over two hours! Been loving the improvements since 0.12!

It's a great game for the organizer in all of us! Were I to thrust my two thumbs any higher, I'd probably dislocate something.

A visually beautiful game to relax to after a rough day; The game mechanics are also fun even if they're not that challenging.

WYSTERIA EVERYWHERE!!

Would I like to revise my review after playing through the update a good bit more? Boy howdy, would I!

Astroneer; After a decent update, some greedy System Era thought they'd sneak an in-game microtransaction store with intermediate currency into a now $30 game, that's not even finished or bugfixed worth jack, despite being "full release". They don't list it as having in-app purchases on their Steam store page, they haven't fixed a major memory leak that's straight up frozen my PC multiple times, they've hardly added any new content to a game that's almost as padded out with transportation time as GTA, and they don't respond to us about any of it.

They even hid the update announcement from my steam library page for Astroneer due to knowing it was getting backlash, only making it visible again after being called out for it in said update's chat.

Multiple people have had dodgy experiences in their co-op , me included, from crashes deleting their entire rocket, to my disconnection problem requiring the host, not me, to restart the world for me to reconnect. All while multiplayer specific achievements are disabled unless you pay them for one of their crummy dedicated servers, which I've seen complaints about being unreliable even though you pay about $12 a month for one!

There's even people doubting whether or not the main event of this update, the Factorio insertor-- I mean, "arms"-- are even necessary in the first place, given the shallow nature of the content in this unfinished hodge podge, which rarely warrants that complex of a manufacturing line. The resource containers and auto extractors are nice though. Quicker to just shift resource containers around based on the current needs.

The in-game store is what made me skeptical of System Era, which uses the typical cringe one can expect when standards hit the basement. Like how despite 1:6 ratio between lowest-offer:highest-offer of the in-game currency, you have (a single qbit picture):(a whole shipping crate with qbits spilling everywhere), which is something I'd expect to see in a free to play Roblox game. And the icon to access the shop in game? Moved right to the corner, in front of game saves, let alone everything else, and it's animated, constantly bouncing around or spinning. You'd think you could escape the bag outside the main menu,... but no, even in the game, whenever you open the menu, it's right there, flopping about.

So what about the prices? Surely paying a couple bucks for a robot character model wouldn't be that bad? Yeah, well try $21.50, more than the previous asking price for the entire game itself. That's not all, the whole store is sold around $170 if you spring for the big qbit bundles. $1.50 for a lone, simple color palette, not like in Warframe where you paste those colors where you want, but premade, flat colors for your suit, where the only change to it you can do, is switching away from it. Also, the majority of hats and masks are locked behind said paywall.

In addition, System Era touted "Free updates", which was bought into by many gullible people who have yet to realise we've hardly even gotten that much of a game for the money we paid, and most can't even realise there's no such thing as a free update in a game that's been paid for, as they're merely modifying/updating what we've gotten for our buck,... Which isn't much for a now $30 indie game by the way.

If they really do need so much money, I'd say there's a much bigger problem, mismanagement. And looking a bit deeper, I'd say that's the case. Refering to their System Era sight, you can see the employees at the bottom of the page, despite the morbid bugs, memory leaks, and shoddy MP, they state to have six employees labled "Engineer", and three labled "Quality Assurance". Three people on "Quality Assurance" and twenty-one employees total to take three years to reach its current, content-shallow, bug-addled, crashing, and computer freezing state. It seems like it's more of a social club that gets paid to do something occasionally.

What a disappointment, what mediocrity.

-Laugh macro that has no cooldown(Seriously? TF2 has voice command cooldown, and it's ancient!)
-Gaudy skins with annoying ability-linked voice lines you hear repeatedly throughout the battle
-Instead of more variations of skins appropriate to their time and culture, there's mostly overblown, gimmicky tripe
-Not enough Anubis nerfs
-Flashy signs and firework spam
-Garbage matchmaking
-Typical MOBA player base

Lots of fun for a time-passer as an adult, even got some good laughs from it.

Runs smooth for how good it looks

Doesn't hold your hand too much through the very light puzzles after early levels

Greatly rewards exploration

Adam West with all his charisma

Gilbert Gottfried as Mxyzptlk

A LARGE selection of DC heroes

As for the negatives:

DLC characters not in the customizer

Usual problem with playing a Tt game by keyboard

I'm struggling to think of much else to say that I found a negative, which is a good plus!
