there is a demo you can try for free.

whole game is 25-30hours orso to complete.
it's worth considering lowering the terraform speed if you want a bit more grindy experience, but overall it's a pretty casual chill type of game.
the quality is good enough but certainly has some rough edges.

I don't know you personally but this is definitely a nice spin on the general survival/base building genre.
I tried a few games that wanted to imitate experiences like Subnautica, but this one is the first one that actually felt like it's own thing instead of copying the core gameplay and just painting it differently.

I suggest trying the demo, you can play till you reach blue skys, which will give you a good amount of time to see if it something you like.

1000% for its price

Worth playing a few times for the slightly different scenarios. But after that abit boring and grindy. Then best left for 6 months or so before maybe looking at again. imo.

Yes. I saw the demo. Got it. Loved it. Bought it for myself and my daughter.
She played it once. Sigh.

This games finest contribution to gaming is that it's chill. If you play on whatever mode allows death without loss of inventory, there's no reason to ever panic, even if you run out of food. Once you get food, there's even less anti-chill-ness. It's strong on exploration. Not brutal at lower difficulty levels. Easy automation, compared to a game like Satisfactory, because...drones. Not everything can be automated, the most important things can. Later in the game the graphics are colorful...want more color, make more butterflies. Learning curve is generally not steep. Probably simpler than Astroneer, as automation is simpler than Astroneer. Comparing it to open world games I have played a lot, I feel like it has it's own niche. It's neither better nor worse than No Man Sky, Astroneer, Satisfactory. But, it's more chill. Playing video games to destress? This might be for you. You can even customize the starting conditions quite a bit to make it more your thing. It's story line is not it's strong suite IMO. And there's a few annoyances, here and there, nothing major. Simple UI. That's about all I can say generally, without going into a lot of detail.
You can make this game as difficult or as easy as you wish.
You have no enemies but your own mistakes.
Play the demo, make your mistakes, then buy the game.
And play in creative mode. Give that a few days then start a whole new game.
Now that you can name your saves, keeping track of them is so much better.
Buy the game. I also bought it for my daughter and a good friend.
Buy The Game.

This game is worth every penny, and it will probably continue to get better, too. So for me - it's a resounding YES. :steamhappy:

Not sure yet, only got 1250 hours into it. LOL

Bought it as soon as I finished the prologue, ?? 2 years ago ??

I was somewhat disappointed in the current state of the game, it still feels very much like a WIP early access title unfortunately and also very much like a Subnautica clone. For the sale price there's enough entertainment value to justify the price at least in exploring the map, but it falls far short of Subnautica in terms of interesting places to explore and since there's no vehicles much of the game feels like a walking simulator slowly running back and forth across the map to gather resources (which suffers from many of the same problems of Subnautica where the recipe costs are often nonsensical) until you finally unlock drones and resource extractors in the mid-late game.

At least watching the map change is somewhat interesting, but in general there's better open world survival craft games for the money unless watching numbers go up while you idle/spam more machines/tediously gather more resources is your thing.

Definitely worth it. The soundtrack, the visuals, the multiplayer, the relaxation, the exploration, all worth it. I recommended it to all my friends, and bought it for my son so we can play together.

You can play it completely fresh. With random resource placement.
You are bored.
Play it in creative.
Then start a brand new game, hardcore.
With random resources.

First impression? Looks like Subnautica without water and creatures... so, kind of a 'not as great' as Subnautica clone. At first, I thought it might be by the same game Devs but, doesn't seem to be. Do creatures start spawning in the later game? I mean, I get that it's starting out kind of barren at first.

Edit: Ha! Nevermind... just missed that last 20 seconds of the video on store page--showing some creatures at the end. Looks like some bugs that grew way too large, lol.
