If you're looking for a tech-savvy, realistic terraforming Mars type of experience, look elsewhere. On the other hand, if you're looking for a game that is absorbing, but that you can just pause for a while to just look around in, then this is it. In short, it's just beautiful. In fact it's the most beautiful game I've ever played. The designs for the plants, the animals, and the forests and plains that grow from them are wonderful. Relaxing? Yes. Busy? Yes. Do you feel like you've really achieved something as you progress? Oh, hell, yes. You've grown a world that is so lovely you'll wish that you could leave this one behind and live there. And I've only spent 132 hours playing it ...

I really didn’t know what I was getting into when I bought this. I just wanted a casual game for the steamdeck, saw this title, bought it and figured it would be one of those games I would probably only play once. I could never get into Minecraft or Valheim; not for a lack of trying. Thought this might be similar. Hours and days later, I realize this is nothing like those games. There is something strangely tranquil about this game. I get lost in time and have a hard time putting it down. It seems boring at first; maybe a bit pointless. You pick up rocks and run for oxygen every few minutes. It’s tedious. You wonder why you’re doing this. What’s the point? Then you suddenly notice the sky is blue. Lakes are forming. Grass is growing. You didn’t notice this until you turned around. You go into a wreckage and come out. Where did those trees come from? How long have they been there? Everything about this game is subtle. It’s so subtle that it sneaks up on you. You think you’re alone. Then you discover there is someone out there trying to help you. It’s lovely, and it’s a little sad. You realize that maybe you didn’t want to be here, but you’ll do your best to make it liveable. The game gently nudges you in ways that feel natural. Maybe it’s the music. It’s also subtle. It’s nice, and it’s relaxing. This game doesn’t seem like much on the surface. The graphics don’t seem all that great at first, but then it turns into something beautiful, and you appreciate it for all its hard work. Do yourself a favour. Don’t look anything up. Don’t watch videos of this game, and don’t google anything. I didn’t, and I’m glad I didn’t. Be patient and explore it the way it was meant to be explored. There are so many small touches in this game. It will guide you where you need to go if you’re paying attention. I love this game. I have no idea what I’m doing. Am I doing too much? Am I doing too little? All I know is the world around me is changing, and I was able to survive another day to witness this beautiful evolution that I have awakened. I can only hope that I don’t mess this up. I’ve come too far to turn away now. If I fail, I will fall. Great game. Love it. There are so many things I didn’t expect. I would recommend this to anyone.

Yo get this game, man. If you're missing the thrill you had when you first played Subnautica, this will scratch that itch. It might not seem super promising at first, but it will pull you in. You will feel the joy. I am still in what I think is the mid game. Do yourself a favor and don't watch any videos or pictures of the game, if you can help it. Let it be a surprise.

An excellent, slow-paced survival-crafter game. Pros: * Lots and lots of secrets to discover. * Great tech tree to unlock. * A surprising number of biomes. * Freaking beautiful, and great (low-annoyance) soundtracks. Cons: * Some of the late-game mechanics aren't explained very well. (genetics, mostly, tho that may've been because I unlocked mammals way later than I should've) * One biome ( rainbow caves ) is key to mid-to-late game progress - if you haven't found it yet, you're almost crippled by a lack of quartz varieties. A hint towards it would have been nice. Meh: * Most of the late-game "special" foods' perks were... useless, to me? I certainly never bothered, anyhow. TL;DR: If you like exploring/crafting games, 9/10; else, avoid.

Outstandingly polished, adaptively paced and engaging throughout. Even if you don't like the genre, this one is special and worth a look. Due to its clever pacing, there's always something to do, no matter if you go fast or if you take your time. The game never overwhelms with too many new mechanics at once, while allowing experienced players to quickly make progress. Multiplayer pacing and coop is done very well, with an easy drop-in-drop-out system, people can visit your world and join you in building — keeping their inventory between sessions. The pacing beautifully adapts to multiplayer as well, and given the variety of tasks, folks will be able to work together in a very organic way. Be it going out on a big exploration adventure together, or someone designing and beautifying the base while others gather resources. The first impression the game gives might be is its weakest point. The world might look a tad random and cheap at first, with resource blobs scattered around. It thankfully rather quickly shows how well it was crafted by guiding the player, purely through its design, to the next objectives and opportunities in a very unintrusive manner. As the world is undergoing many terraforming iterations, in the mid-game it further shows how well put together it was. The unlocking mechanics are a combination of incremental games and exploration that allow each player to go at their pace without getting bored or overwhelmed. The system used here, and the math put it to make it work, is truly commendable and something I hope other devs learn from.
