I love it but the disasters, even on easy are rediculous. i wold still be repairing my base, only to be hit with another earthquake, critical damaging everything. My drill hit a gas pocket even though its storage was full and not even active. I'm gonna give it a few weeks and come back.

Fun game. Somewhat like Stranded: Alien dawn without any life around. It's too bad we only get 3 characters to control per mission. Hopefully it will expend to more. Graphics are good. Game play is stable. Encountered some bugs but not dramatic like i've read. You need a good video card to play. I bought it even if it's early access because i don't want it to suffer the Jumplight odyssey and Stranded:Alien dawn fate. Game is a fun base builder and moon explorer. Not relax. Game is full of environmental dangers. Just found my 3rd colonist and i still have more stuff to unlock. Can't wait to see what the developers have in store. More survivors would be nice. 8/10

Pretty fun, definitely leans into the feel of surviving on a space outpost in a great way. Repairing holes in the outpost is done very well, and accompanied by good music etc. I like the UI, the SFX, the music is top notch (very interstellar) Voiceovers are a bit meh. The module and upgrade system for teh station is great, once I realised how it worked, it made alot of sense. Art style is good, environments a little bit undetailed, but objects aren't which looks a bit odd next to eachother. Gameplay is fun, I do enjoy it the mix of physicalised vs non-physicalised objects is a little inconsistent and I don't like micromanaging my astronaughts forever, I do like that they can have items in their inventory they use automatically, but I would have thought a game like this would have some auto-actions more like Alien: Stranded Dawn, e.g. if a character is <X% on eating, then I'd have expected they just go...eat. or two idle characters would just chat without being told to. Feels a bit like commanding robots otherwise. But I'm enjoying the game, and I've not even touched all of it yet. edit A few bugs can creep in, such as station modules not being recognised, and the models not updating so they clip, the elevator model clips overtly with the station too
