Immersive and relaxing game. The controls, visuals and audio come together wonderfully to create great atmosphere and the dialogue, research and decently written notes really sell the feeling of exploration and discovery. Some may find the game boring, I'd get that (I ducked out on my first playthrough). Some may find the controls "clunky", but for me that's part of the immersion factor - similar to Scavenger SV-4, DeltaV or Duskers the fiddlier inputs and UI design gives a better feeling of being in control of something, being limited by the capabilites of the suit (in this game). More like a simulation game, than an arcade one I suppose? What I would say is more like that would have been better. All sampling is done the same way and that could have been mixed up. Similarly, the base research could have been expanded into a more interactive experience too. I understand that budget limitations do exist though. Overall, I'd recommend it if you want to relax and explore a world. Completion took in the region of 10-12 hours.

Honestly did not expect this game to be so good. Gameplay is simple yet fun. The story and planet ecosystem are very well done. Very calm and surreal

top 10 fav games ever genuinely if you like reading/text-based games you will love this one. Slightly tedious but worth it for the lore unlocks. reviewing 2 years after finishing bc i genuinely feel fondness for the 8~h played everytime i see this in my library. it is, however, not very replayable. HUD makes the world feel so alive i know it sounds silly but they truely nailed it.

It's pretty good, a walking simulator with a different interface. A nice science fiction story, which is kind of my soft spot. Well worth it if you're short on time (I finished the main story in four hours) and especially on a discount.
