I feel like I play every game in this genre and this is the first one in literal years that has grabbed me. I just love it. It's unique, all of the activities are satisfying and there's so much to do. I don't normally write reviews so I don't have some amazing format to give you tons of pros and cons, but I saw this game had less than one thousand reviews (tragic!) and I had to write one to say if you're on the fence: get it! I adore this game and it is truly a stand out. If you love farm/life sims, you will love it. My literal only gripe is that it took me FOREVER to get all of the "farm animals" and I have no idea why lol. Other than that 10/10. I love it so, so much.
After putting in over 100 hours in less than two months, to put it simply, I think Little-Known Galaxy is a perfect example of "I love this game, but..." This is a slow-burn game. The progression pacing can feel like a crawl due to how long it takes to gather the resources to build up your infrastructure then move onto the next mission. However, there is very little time pressure aside from what you put on yourself, and I think that's part of what makes this a joy to play for me. There are no seasons to mess up your crop schedule by missing a day of watering your plants. If you don't make it to the next checkpoint in one day because you got unlucky, there's always tomorrow. Your tools also take time to upgrade, but that's okay because you can always go do something else in the meantime and you don't really lose anything for taking some days off. That said, it does not excuse how slow the game feels to control. Your character moves very slowly compared to many other games, and while you can eventually get used to it (and also get to buy a hoverboard in the middle of the game to go marginally faster), that feeling of walking through molasses never quite goes away. Combined with the fact that animations also feel cumbersome at times, and there's a reason why this happens to be one of the biggest critiques against the game. Let's go to some positives now. I think most of the characters are incredibly charming (some are a bit one-note in my opinion, but not unlikeable), and the space-faring setting is a breath of fresh air that helps LKG stand out from its peers. The game also plays it very safe in terms of maturity - there are basically no hidden dark undertones, only sunshine and rainbows, which isn't unwelcome in a cozy game but potentially may make the world feel shallow to people. The only exception that I remember is that a couple on the ship occasionally talk about the hard times they had growing up on a war-torn planet, but the characters don't linger on their past as if the trauma still actively affects them (no edgy guys here). The gameplay loop is very simple. 90% of the time, you spend your days going down to the various planet surfaces to gather resources, effectively the mining portion of other similar games. Before you do, you will likely spend your mornings taking care of your "farm", which is the main way you will be making money. The power system in this game is a fairly interesting limitation to plan around, as your infrastructure will have to take into consideration how much power you are able to use on actually planting your crops vs powering machines to make your yields more valuable before selling. I went a little nuts and made an entire spreadsheet for this, but there's really no need to min-max. Again, time is not a pressure factor unless you allow it to be. The other 10% of the time, you are running around chatting up the NPCs and collecting microbes, mainly because you are in the process of space travel and so don't have a planet to scavenge. Some people apparently hate the microbe catching or find it too difficult baseline - I think it's a fun little rhythm minigame to break up the resource grind, but there are settings in the options menu to make them easier or turn them off entirely. Back to some personal criticisms though. First of all, I feel that by the time I actually got a good infrastructure up and running, the main storyline was suddenly over. It's a crying shame, because I think most people would stop playing the game after the credits roll, so it almost feels like going to distance to plan a satisfying farm layout isn't worthwhile if your goal is to "finish the game". Secondly, the economy feels... kinda bad? You're not particularly incentivized to plant anything fancier than Soybeans (available starting from the very first planet) or make use of value-enhancing machines obtained later than the Canning Pot (which I got after finishing my first quarter, along with the Juicer which is another insanely good machine), as most other things simply don't compare in terms of profit efficiency. Not even getting the kitchen upgrade helps in this aspect, as the sell price for most cooked food in this game is just not really worth the time spent growing the ingredients, and you can cheaply churn out energy tonics and vitamins to replenish your energy instead. I'd love if the economy got rebalanced, as I think the rotating crop variety for each planet is really fun, only to find out that you really should just plant the one obvious money-maker and grow only the bare minimum needed of everything else to progress the missions. Lastly, it feels like there are a bunch of crops that simply don't have much you can do with them (Beans and Garlic can only be used in cooked food, Jute and Cotton are only used to make different kinds of fabric, which are only used to make decorations), which makes them very disappointing even to experiment with. It kind of feels like there was more content planned that never made it into the final product. At the end of the day, I really enjoyed my time with Little-Known Galaxy, enough to where I'm planning on doing more playthroughs beyond my first (which I'm still in the process of getting 100% achievements in). But this is not a game for everyone. I encourage people to try out the demo first before committing to buying it, because it is an excellent gauge for how you may feel for an entire playthrough.
in brazil, we have a saying: there is no such thing as taking two hours to cook rice and fry fish. just as many good farming games, this one repeats the formula: it hides behind crazy grinding so the game has more hours. you need 1 furnace? sure, go farm 80 stones (awful to farm). great! you have your furnace. oh, you need copper? your furnace makes one at a time... and takes 8h in game! thats like the first quarter of the game. as you progress, you unlock advanced furnace and make 5 at a time. but once i unlocked it, i said to myself: whatever, i wont have sufficient materials for it. and i did not! even so, im very patience, so i insisted. the thing is, there is more than just the furnace. and each just makes one at a time. and each has more hours than the other. i reached my limit when one of them was 32 hours. i dropped when i went to improve my tool and the npc took it away for 3-4 days. the game is nice, i liked it. thats the only reason i'll give it a positive review. i dont think it deserves a negative one. the game could use improvements... lower costs and hours, make stones actually give stones (crazy!) ...but as you can see, the game is finished. there will be no updates. play it as it is if you liked it and be done.
TL;DR: BUY THIS INDIE GAME! It's well worth your money. If you're unsure, play the demo and/or read my full review below. As of rn, I've completed the "main" mission and got 22 out of the 35 achievements. I'll continue to play for the other achievements, but decided to take the time to write a review for this wonderful and kind of obscure cozy game. English is my second language, so please excuse any grammatical errors, I'm trying my best. First of all, I think the reviews not recommending it because the devs "abandoned" the game are kinda misleading and VERY unfair. Yes, Little-Known Galaxy hasn't been updated for some time, but that isn't a deal breaker when the game is completed and there isn't really any (major) bugs. The story they wanted to tell and the game they set out to make are 100% finalized. It'd be lovely to have extra content, but that's exactly it: it would be EXTRA. If you're afraid of buying an incomplete product, don't be: the product is very much complete. I have a lot of thoughts, but they're all positives. I'll put then in bullet points for better visualization: - Starting with the best part of Little Known Galaxy: the atmosphere. The ship is wonderfully designed and it's a joy to look at. After so many cozy games in tiny little green farms, it's an awesome change of pace and I definitely fell in love with all the nooks and crannies of the ship. I was even inspired to read and write some sci-fi! - The story is lovely. The characters are wonderfully quirky and there's a good batch of bachelors and bachelorettes. I've married Jimmy, but Shinji and Daxton also tickled my fancy and I think there's diversity to catter to a lot of different tastes. - The gameplay loop is nice. It's a bit grindy, I'll admit, but that's not the end of the world. Considering the lenght of the main story, the grind is bearable and the achievements are worth it. Upgrading tools, fixing the ship and discovering the planets are all very rewarding activities. I wasn't ever bored. The only "con" I think of is the missed oportunity for more, I guess, but if the game wasn't as financially viable as the devs needed it to be, it's not their fault. I fell in love so hard that I wanted more, but what I got was amazing. There isn't more right now, but that doesn't make the experience any less deserving of a recommendation. If you love cozy games like Stardew Valley, you'll for sure love Little-Known Galaxy! It's familiar enough, but so very different in its presentation. I'll follow the devs next projects', if they make any (and I really hope they do, because they got a new fan!). Carbon & Kay bought a lot of good will from me based on this experience.
