Anyone else try it?

Picked this up and really enjoying it so far, havent tried coop multiplayer as of yet but so far its a lot of fun even single player.
Its all very relaxing and engrossing at the same time
Only started it today but before i knew it two hours flashed by.

Been keeping an eye on it and it looks really promising. I'm just holding off until they add a bit more into the game I think.
afaik there is not even enemies to fight yet or anything so I could see that getting a bit boring fairly quick.
I few more additions and I'll probably jump on it.

really excellent game - been playing heaps of it

the tethers are such a neat feature. really clever game design. And the storms are pretty epic imo

yea i was playing it for ages but i decided to hold off for more updates, the vehicles you know you can only loose them so many times before rage quiting because it slid down a hole, then you spend a hour digging a slope to try get it out but it slid back down into another hole !!

But besides that i think it is a great game so far, i am not to sure the base building fits in with the voxel world they have it seems a bit at odds with a world you can shape to have this restrictive node based base, the world says shape me ! and the base says go left node go right node... err..

Getting into space for the first time was a real woah moment when i seen the other planet types it was a really cool experience.

Yes, it's brilliant. Cute, quirky, well thought out mechanics.


A little short on content right now, but it is alpha, and the mechanics are generally solid.

This is vastly more fun to play than No Mans Sky is/was/ever will be.

The perpetual spiky balls of the arid planet are a challenging thing to try overcome!

I've been in dozens of dust storms on the Terran planet, and i still **** bricks when the cubes come flying.

Once you get a fully functioning base up and running on a second planet, you've pretty much "won the game".

Enemies, more weather effects, etc needed.

I would love to see asteroids impacting on the moon!

He seems to be heavily involved in the art side of things going by what people are saying online? I'm not 100% sure tbh.

How far has this game progressed, would you call it complete or close to complete? Just finished Witcher 3 so this is appealing to me as something not too serious. Play Anywhere with pc/xbox also very appealing.

What you think, this worth the money? Or should I look at Subnautica?

Edit: Should have mentioned I'll be playing it solo. Kinda looks more of a team game am I right?
