ASTRONEER

Astroneer is a really fun game! It's very intuitive and you can feel very smart figuring out things like crafting stations. The story is kind of a background thing that's kinda bland, but the little pets you get are funny lil guys.

worst game ever if you wanna play with your friends. I bouth the game for my friend and me and it gives host error for nothing. This error is on internet there is no solution and i think they don't give a damn about it since lots of streamers already played game and they got enough money now so no fixing problems or bugs just let the hype get your money. Bravo! so great policy!

Astroneer is a very fun game, I had a lot of fun in it, late game was not that fun and I had to spend a lot of time just geting 1 or 2 items (That may or may not be because I didn't automate stuff) the soundtrack was really good and fit the vibe of the game, the lore was not bad (could have had more too it) so I'd give it a 7.5/10 if you want to buy it full price then go ahead but I would recommend geting it on sale.

Well made game with a significant amount of depth to what you can do.
Incredible how little storage space this game takes up!

No tutorial, beginning the game was super frustrating as it only tells you what to do, but never how to do anything. I got this thinking it'd be a chill, fun game, but ended up just annoyed having to watch youtube tutorials, at which point I just didn't want to play anymore. I gave it a second chance and came to the same conclusion.

Hidden behind the frankly awful to get used to camera controls and the game's frustrating dedication to not explaining anything well is a fairly entertaining crafting game (the survival aspect only lasts for a short while as two of the side mission unlocks make you literally immortal as long as you have the required plants).
Has some automation aspects, not a massive amount however and will sometimes need manual input to reset resource collectors. The story hidden in lore descriptions and behind some of the missions is surprisingly deep but satisfying come the 'end' of the game (spoiler, it's like Minecraft in that the game doesn't have an ending that stops you playing).
Pretty enjoyable, would definitely winch-catapult myself between planets again.

The core gameplay loop is fun, the progression is good, great visual style and atmospheric soundtrack. However I cannot recommend this game due to how unpolished it feels. Object sometimes clip through each others, tethers sometimes collide with vehicles, sometimes not, it's possible to lock platform in place but not the stuff above them, using a drill with a vehicle will require the camera to clip through the carriages, controller support feels rushed.
It feels like a late stage early access game. It's so close to be great, but lacks too many quality of life feature to make the gameplay "flow". Half of the time i feel like i'm fighting with the terrain or the snap system.
Unfortunately the developer started working on a new game, and that means that probably this problems will never be addressed. So unfortunately, I cannot recommend it.

After trying to get back into the game this week, I remembered the disgusting nature of the in-game cosmetics shop.

The prices are insanely high and the in-game currency aims to obfuscate the amount of money you are actually spending.
That is awful behaviour from System Era.

I can mostly recommend the game itself but the ingame shop is just predatory

One of the best games to play when you just want to chill out. It is so relaxing and fun. One of my favorites.

So much fun, so many things to explore. i reccomend playing this game without any guide or spoiler

This game will always be at it's best when not played alone. it is addicting to create bigger and better machines whilst the exploration truly hits that chase of mystery. However i would not recommend for someone playing alone as there are too many frustrating bugs and mechanics to put up with.

This game was better in pre-alpha when the developers werent greedy about microtransactions.

In-game store in my paid game? Fuck off.

I love this game, the way the game looks and the gameplay. If your looking for a fun game to spend time on when your bored I highly recommend it! :3

I loved this game it was interesting and made me use my brain it was fun but the makers are d!cks. You eventually get an item to place that once placed you can't get rid of unless you buy the stupid dlc, if you don't want to start over in a new world. (which I didn't I spent hours in that world) It was a complete turn off for the game I don't recommend unless you're ok with being forced to buy something. :(

Astroneer is an amazing and calming game. It's a break from fast paced action or super high-res graphics. The calming simplicity yet the overwhelming amount of exploration allows this to be a super replayable game. I personally think this is the best space exploration game because of it's sheer amount of quality development and cute textures.

Note: (I have 450 hours on XBOX) :)

This game has changed a lot since I first played it a few years ago. Many many improvements to the systems in the game that make space exploration a bit more fun. The biggest negative of this game is how horrifically the vehicles control. They're impossibly bad to drive sometimes. However, the general progression of unlocking new resources and schematics is quite good. Simple game, doesn't require thinking too much and has absolutely no combat mechanics apart from plants that spit at you and you just mine the floor beneath them. Great game to play and chill out with, alone or with friends.

The game loses some points for the driving and generally infuriating UI management with manually moving each individual resource into containers and stuff. That gets extremely tedious when you go mine hundreds of resources and place each resource onto the storage and drive back to base and move them off one storage and on to another, one at a time.

Overall, I'd give it a 7.5/10.

I absolutely recommend this game (loved it enough to buy it for a second time on a separate platform), absolutely worth the money

at first i was confused in playing the game, but i still love it xD. i had to start all over multiple times just to understand, and little by little it all started to come to together in learning this game. for me playing this game is a bit wonky for controller, but i feel really good playing keyboard and mouse with this game. it so cute, and addicting. truly recommend anyone playing this game

Thumbs down for allowing discussion only under their terms. Look at the "discussion" page for this game. Cannot post or read anything on the steam discussion page. You must go to the developer's page.

I would like to note before i start mt review. itll say 0.5 Hours ive played. ive played more than 1500+ hours in this game on Console and like 200 in The DLC, so 1700 all together. (again. all on Console)

Wow. Honestly this is my favorite game for the exploration, mystery, and progression. The Story in here is more late game. but you can do what ever you want when ever you want. The planets are diverse and unique. I think theres something for every type of player. the 4 events that happen every year are pretty fun to start a new save and work through. There isnt that much grinding in this game, unless your making lots of farms and huge end game bases. Now, Multiplayer on this game is SOO Much Fun messing around with your friends, or working together. If your wondering about how many players can join your worlds, 4 Per Non Dedicated Server (4 Includes you the host, so you can invite 3 friends) with Dedicated Servers, 8 players can be in a world at once (7 players NOT including you the host) Dedicated Servers either require paying $$$ for a server. or your Pc can Host one (at the expense of a few things) There is Cosmetic shop that needs real $$$ for cosmetics, but this is optional, since there is tons of unlockables of cosmetics to get. There are updates still that come out which offer new and cool content. My Verdict of the game is if your into space exploration, or just want a chill minecraft like experience, this game is it, 10/10

I love this game's art stile and it's 2 player availability and it's soundtrack is to die for yes it is a little grindy and its a long play but it is worth it yes the soundtrack is a little slow and calming but it adds the the games fun i have played it for 170 hours acording to steam and i have not yet i still have a lot of things to do but it will be worth it.

Another game that can keep my attention for hours/days. Taking a bit to figure out the best way to play it, but that's part of the fun.

Literally one of the best games I have ever stumbled upon. This showed up in my discovery feed as a pre-release announcement I watched the Game Trailer and in 2016 there really was nothing like it out. I remember waiting for this to release on steam and after just a few minutes of loading the game and actually playing it I knew it would have continuous play-ability. The music the game art the design is very relaxing. The game is challenging but not so much that a younger audience couldn't join you.

Its a sandbox but it does have a main path to follow, you can spend your time exploring or getting right to the end of the story the choice is yours, there are new updates and the Glitchwalker dlc was a neat new touch I enjoyed the new challenges it imposed.

But even after 9 Years of the games release I still find myself loading up the game and having fun replaying the story solo or with my family. I love that there are still new releases and Im looking forward to the newest release Expeditions in 2026.

Definitely worth any amount of monies! With the play value this game has its a steal at full price so if you find it on sale I would highly recommend buying!

I have only been playing for 5 hours and this game is amazing the music the gameplay its very fun

Overall good game. Played it on Xbox game pass and liked it enough to buy it on Steam for PC

I refunded this, overly complicated with no tutorial... Sorry if you can't help me with the basics, I can't help you.

I have had this since it's initial EA launch, always hoping my friends would come and play. Well, Finally playing it and I must say it is so much fun and such a great way to relax.!

Fun at start but if you won't play with friends it will make you bored .-. You collect resouces here and explore planets with new environment which makes it so cool because you will face new danger!

Fun art style, fun to play, and I like that there's no critters to contend with! 10/10

Over complicated and awkward controls kills what could have been fun game.

Firstly, i love survival games, but this one has a lot of flaws.
1) You start the game, and there is exactly 0 tutorial to how to play. Nothing. while that is normally fine with me, i had to spend way too much time looking at the settings.
2) Oxygen tether - while this is fine, as its standard in all games, this one is not only short, but with no tutorial, there is no way to know how to move farther without dying a LOT.
3) Graphics - its really low resolution. I know some people like this, but it was just too low for my tastes.
4) Camera handling - just didnt feel as smooth as other survival games.
5) Reading text - this is a BIG one. some of the text on the screen was illegible. I have good eyes, but i have no idea how the devs think people can read this.

random world to discover, caves to explore, new ores to find, machines to make, i would say its a pretty good game

Terraforming, gadgets, various types of logistics, mystery, discovery, and co-op!

I've been a loyal player for this magnificent game since the beginning of its pre-release and had extremely good times while exploring the planets, unlocking achievements and doing challenges such as making Atrox an energy haven. But after the Glitchwalkers DLC, I don't know what they did to the game but I've started experiencing extreme lags and FPS drops even if just after starting a new adventure. The optimization is very bad and my not so perfect but still able to run the requirements PC is struggling so much that my GPU becomes 90 degrees... They should definitely fix this issue because the game is unplayable now and they are losing a regular loyal player. Thanks for reading until here so here is a smiley face :-)

A company that views modders as a 'threat' is a greedy company not worth buying from.

Valve figured out how to be rich AND allow mods so why can't this lousy company do the same?

This game is fun, but the studio doesn't deserve your money anymore. Don't buy the DLC, don't buy the microtransactions, just get the game and nothing else.
Why you shouldn't give them your money:
- The game is quite buggy. If you look at an item wrong then it will fall through the floor. If you're playing multiplayer and you move too quickly then YOU will fall through the floor and then either die from fall damage or die from lack of oxygen. If you're going through a tunnel and you place something clipping into the ceiling then it will disappear into the nearest cave. The netcode sucks and the physics are janky and uncooperative. These things have been a problem for years and all they have done is release microtransactions.
- The DLC sucks. It takes everything good about the game (space travel, variety of play, relaxed gameplay) and removes it. You enter the DLC by placing a physical portal in your non-DLC world that pulls you into the DLC world, and you can't leave the DLC world until you fully complete it. You cannot bring anything into the DLC world and you cannot take anything out of it, and you do not carry any of your non-DLC unlock progress over. You can place the portal without owning the DLC, but you cannot enter it. If you are playing with someone else who places the portal and you don't have the DLC, you will not be able to enter it. If you do try to enter it, the game will pop out an ad and tell you to buy the DLC. You cannot remove this portal ever except by beating the DLC. Less than half of the people who played the DLC liked it.
- There is $700 US worth of microtransactions in this game. Not including the DLC. And you buy premium currency instead of buying the items directly. There is no way to get the premium currency without buying it. The store does that scummy thing where the amounts of currency you can purchase don't always line up exactly with the amount needed to buy the items, forcing you to pay extra for those items. They also rotate items out of the store on a "may return later" basis (FOMO).

If you want to buy the game, go ahead. I would not suggest financially supporting the studio past this.

With almost 500 hours, I can safely say this is one of my favorite games. It's just the perfect mix of sandbox exploration, base building, and mystery with a sprinkle of combat. I can't wait for an expansion to continue the base game.

The controls are a nightmare and it's incredibly hard to learn. But with someone expirienced holding my hand, I'm still having my fun. Recommended if you either have a lot of time on your hand to learn or if you have someone to teach you. The little snail pets are the best part in the game. Please add a way to still make em sing after you caught them, it's so adorable.

Its a cool game, but the bugs are infuriating, having a few items sitting on the ground even for like 15 minutes theres a risk it just falls into the planet, and then you need to search caves to find them, seeing they released a dlc instead of fixing these problems is a little annoying, as the game is really good, theres a lot of fun things to do but having a huge setback like that is a little demotivating

Super fun game, lots to explore an the new DLC is looking amazing!

Astroneer is a game I discovered through my friend raph3y, and it’s one that kept us hooked for hours of shared gaming time. It’s the perfect game to unwind and relax with. The open-world exploration, crafting, and building mechanics are simple yet addictive, making it easy to get lost in the game for hours on end.

The beauty of Astroneer is its peaceful, almost zen-like atmosphere. There’s no rush, no pressure—just the joy of exploring alien planets, gathering resources, and building your base. It's a game that encourages creativity and teamwork, which made it even more fun when playing with raph3y.

While the game can get repetitive at times, the sense of discovery and the satisfaction of completing tasks together made it a memorable experience. Astroneer is a great game to play when you just want to chill, escape from the real world, and enjoy a relaxing gaming session with friends.

I tried so hard to lıke this game the first time ı bought it but ı just couldnt but fast forward a couple of years and ı think this might be one of the best games ı played so ı highly recommend giving it a try

Fun base building and planet exploration game

You just dont get a good relaxing sandbox experience like this very often, Astroneer does so much and does it right when it comes to a fine balance of challenge and reward. Been playing this since Early Access, and I remember how bad it was slogging through a late gen game with so many memory problems it was practically unplayable. But today, this is one of those sandboxes I come back to every year or so to get away from all the other games I play, and it still satisfies! Customization of the starting conditions adds a whole new layer of complexity and it is fun trying out different variables to get things just right!

I keep coming back to this game, the mechanics are so satisfying. The ambiance and sound effects are perfect, it's very peaceful and there's always something to do.

very epic game play easy to learn imersive experiance and more

10/10 but my base is too darn crouded

Very enjoyable! The core gameplay loop hasn't gotten boring and I don't see it doing so. Worrying about your oxygen keeps you pleasantly engaged, and it feels satisfying to finish getting the resources for a larger piece of equipment.

good game but even if you read the tutorial the game get's very confusing.

go to planet, steal its resources, decimate the local flora, cover it in machines, move to the next and repeat. conquer the galaxy. feel nothing, do it again in 3 months. Great game
