Planet Explorers

Had a great start, quickly got dropped and abandoned.

Abandonware

ABANDONED GAME

But, I managed to put 15 hours in for free, so it cant be that bad?

Then again that was by 2016 standards, I doubt this holds up.

But again, free so if you are REALLY bored, check it out?

A lot of people call this Abandonware but that's only partially the situation. In a sad turn of events, some sort of technical, social or legal disaster left Pathea missing the source code for the multiplayer server of the game. What they did have, which is now free, was the single-player software, but without the source code there's no way to make improvements, changes or add features without creating the game again from the ground up.

They didn't do this, and it's not hard to imagine why. The game is what it is. It had potential to be something a million times more but was cut short. I paid money for this game and will always have a soft spot for it, but really wish they'd invested some of that money in a backup system.

You can get it for free and at least get a glimpse of what we all had a chance of having. Maybe Planet Explorers 2 will come out and have a better chance of seeing completion.

It had so much promise, shame it was abandoned

This was a good game when they were still working on it but they left it in an unfinished state. Abandonware.

this game not only sucks unfinished and everything its now free but they clearly stole my 24 $ they should reimburse everytone that had payed for this $hit

It would have been a wonderful game, but the developers just abandoned it, called it finished even though it wasn't. It is free now, so it's worth a playthough but I'm going to vote no on this just in case they decide to start selling it again.

It's taken a lot of time for me to decide to write this review because it's clear now that Pathea has no desire to complete this game. The game works, sure, but it's riddled with bugs and glitches that make it unplayable in some areas. NPCs will break and their dialogue will freeze. There's a bug that will allow Necessary NPCs to be permanently unconscious that will absolutely wreck a save. They claim the game is done, but it's far from a finished product. They killed the Multiplayer completely and custom games are absolutely broken, barely functioning as a game mode because of how little development went into it. The Developers won't respond to fans and won't address the bugs in the game. They don't even have a 1 man team to give updates. That's how little they care about a game that allowed them to rake in millions. Don't buy this. It is a disappointment. What Pathea did here was take the money they made from this game and ran off with it to make My Time at Portia and its sequels. I had hope for this game, but now it's clearly dead.

I paid for abandonware - feels bad man

I am still sad they abandoned this game. It had so much potential and was a ton of fun! i truly hope they come back and finish it. to this day, it had the most unique crafting system ive ever seen in any game and it was probably ahead of its time. Please come back, this game had such good bones and even more potential!!!

I paid for this game back when they were charging $20+ Now it's Abandonware!

this company should have had the common decency to jack my wallet in person like a man

Abandonware, do not buy

A really great game, it's under rated, wish there were more like it, and more people playing it.

Possibly the most underrated sandbox game in existence. No not nearly perfect, yes its dated, and yes the story probably has some bugs. But the creation system in the game is complex and amazing and there are few like it.

Unfinished EA trash.

just don't

this game had some crazy potential back in the early survival crafting boom of the 2010's

but like most others it's abandonware

Just dont

So bad
