ASTRONEER

This has to be one of the top games in my library by far. And for a very simple reason.

It's a great game with a great progression system. Gathering resources and making things with them is as easy on the first planet, as it is on the last planet. The story is a fun light hearted one which doesn't tire the player out.

Without saying too much, the game simply works. researching new things and creating them isn't tedious at all, and that won my heart. I highly recommend it especially if you're an adult who doesn't have hours upon hours available to grind in game in order to progress.

Props to System Era Softworks!

ENG : This game is more enjoyable when played with your friends because that's how you get the most fun out of it. After all, how far can you play alone without having fun? It's a game that should be played together with your friends; I recommend it as a fun game to play with them.

TR : Bu oyunu arkadaşlarınızla oynancak keyfini çıkaracağınız çıtırını çıkartabilceğiniz bir oyundur arkadaşlarla deha keyiflidir o sebepten alanlara tavsiye ederim oyun tek başınıza nereye kadar keyif alırsınız orasını bilemem o yüzden bu kararı size bırakıyorum.

idk what setting is messed up but every time i play this game i seem to teleport 2 3 hours into the future. every single time.

What do you mean the credits are rolling we JUST got the flipping train system up and running.

highly addicting. if you like other survival/crafting games this one is a hit. while it shares many similarities with NMS, astroneer has its own atmosphere that sets it apart. Great game.

Ive played this game in co-op for 30 hrs so far and overall its very unique, chill and relaxing. There are loads of stuff to research, craft and explore. There's also the "Astropedia" feature that lets you check at any time given where you can find a specific resource, how to craft it (smelt or chemistry lab) and on which planet to find it. This is something I am extremely grateful for since the game is based on crafting and finding resources. The one thing I would say keeps me back from recommending the game to more friends is this very, VERY annoying vehicle glitch. I first started by crafting a tractor and some trailers. so I can carry big-sized resources back to base, and my tractor would non-stop get stuck in flat ground, get swallowed up whole by the ground while driving and evaporate or just flip on its back for no reason or any obstacles in my way. For this reason I crafted a buggy (the other car) which was working fine in the beginning but was suddenly swallowed up by the ground on another planet I went exploring, where I also ran out of oxygen looking for it and died. Needless to say I lost both cars and trailers, resources i was carrying and my patience. I'm begging you fix the vehicle glitches so I can actually explore the different planets without having the constant worry that my car will vanish for no reason and eventually ran out of oxygen and lose everything in my backpack. Exploring is a major factor for the game and crucial to progress.

Simple, but beautiful visuals, immersive in-game interface, interesting challenges! This is the game where you enjoy the learning process. Haven't found much critical bugs of all the time I've played.

Recent EXO Farm event and Glitchwalkers DLC - is just another time the developers show of how they love to their game over the time.

Dope game, hope that friends will take a look at it! xdd

Absolutely incredible. I've played through solo, played through with friends, killed hours in Astroneer. It's a true joy to sink into

Very interesting game and was very fun even playing alone.
Love the space snails so much and had collected all of the seven and is aiming for the last creature EVA ~

A brilliant, if short, mix of exploration and automation. It's a shame that some of the more interesting automation is so late and expensive, but there are rewards for using them beyond the main storyline.

Unique take in the genre. System Era has been committed to continuous updates and revisions over the years. Always a joy to jump in for a new run. Some games have enjoyable grinds and gameplay loops that always invigorate each playthrough. Astroneer is one of those that I keep coming back to year after year.

I love this game. I keep coming back to it for the chill exploration and building.

You can stick to the story and follow the missions, or just set off to farm crazy space vegetables or build a planet-wide rail network.

Great sandbox with a ton of opportunities to explore and play.

A really great game with cute graphics and a bunch of different crafting recipies to make your life simpler. The game is very fun to play, and includes multiple endings. I would love some more base-building mechanics, as the game is mainly focused on gathering resources to proceed with the game, leading to not much replay value. The only reason I have so many hours (170 to be exact) is that i first played it with my sister, and then my dad, and my dad loves to terraform. Speaking of terraforming, it is definatly one of the best parts of the game, as you can hook it up to your large rover and create an amazing self-roading machine. The only thing thats better than terraforming is probaly the gastropods (look them up they are SO CUTE).

In general I do recommend this game, but there are a few things you need to get used to, mainly being orbiting and looking around. On a mouse, it would probaly be less annoying, but being as I play with a trackpad, it's very tricky to use, leading to me and my family dying multiple times due to not being able to grab resin or turn quickly. If i had anything to recommend to the developers to fix this, I would probaly just add an ability to change the orbit keybind (as it is the only keybind that is unchangeable). There also is very little danger, mostly consisting of plants and oxygen. They did recently add storms, which I feel like is a great idea, but they really need to rather beef it up or add more dangerous natural weather patterns.

Definatly worth the purchase :)

I have been playing this game since it was in Alpha and I love it. A great space crafting game which I often describe to other people as "space minecraft".

Please fix your game!

GlitchWalkers is an apt name for System Era's latest addition to what used to be a fantastic game.
I can deal with some graphical errors... i'll work around the wonky controls... but the game play bugs are a deal-breaker.

Prior to the GW update i would have given the game a solid 7.5/10. However, the ridiculous number of Game-Breaking glitches has dropped that to a depressing 3-4/10. Seems to me this DLC/Update isn't much more than a cash grab. I could have very easily gotten the same experience just starting a new play through.

Bugs of note:
Terrain eating players and vehicles.
Camera snapping to nonsensical angles and zoom.
Lighting updates flashing around non-affected terrain.
Fog density randomly changing to near black-out levels.
Players and vehicles getting stuck on non-rendered/non-existent terrain or objects.

GlitchWalkers is a Disappointment, and that's putting it lightly.
Please fix your game System Era!!!

no tutorial, have to goto the internet for guidance. Cool graphics.

Immaculate vibes. If you need a game to unclench your butthole with after playing online competitive games against sweaty 12 year old's that make you want to learn how to DDOS, this is it. Even better with friends!

Review: Astroneer and the Glitch Walkers DLC
Astroneer – A space odyssey in a sandbox style
Astroneer is a game created by System Era Softworks studio, which offers players the opportunity to explore space in a unique, open world. Released in 2019, it gained wide acclaim for its creative mechanics, beautiful graphics, and emphasis on freedom of exploration.

Game
The game allows you to play the role of an astronaut whose task is to colonize and explore seven different planets. The key mechanic is deforming the terrain using a tool called the "Terrain Tool", which allows you to extract raw materials, form caves or build structures. This mechanic introduces a sandbox element that gives players a lot of scope for creativity, from creating advanced bases to organizing logistic production chains.

The progression system is based on collecting raw materials and discovering new technologies. The game also offers a cooperation mode, which makes exploration even more enjoyable with friends. Importantly, Astroneer focuses on a relaxing pace of gameplay - there are no fights, which makes it a great choice for those who are looking for calm, yet engaging fun.

The biggest criticism of Glitch Walkers is its lack of meaningful content. The add-on promises unique "glitch" effects and new outfits, but in fact these are only cosmetic additions. The costumes look interesting, but their visual effects quickly lose their charm. The lack of any impact of these new features on the gameplay makes the DLC seem shallow and unnecessary.

The environmental effects, although interesting at first glance, are in fact minimal and hardly noticeable. Glitchy terrain anomalies and flickering lights look like elements that could be implemented in the base game as a free update.

The DLC does not introduce any innovations in terms of gameplay mechanics. Players who expected new challenges, technologies, tools or features will be very disappointed. All "new" elements are limited to visual modifications that do not change the way you explore or build in the game. As a result, the DLC quickly becomes boring because it does not offer any goals that could extend the fun.

Really fun game but devs wont/cant fix major bugs that end up wasting alot of your time. How many years have rovers been sinking into the ground? fix this shit.

It's an good game to play alone, but a great game to play with friends.

It's cute, but there's not really much to do other than mine for hours on end to make a thing so you can mine more later.
Worlds feel empty so exploring gets boring quick, and there's very little ways to build something other than things that tie in to mentioned above mining process.
Don't buy the overpriced expansion if you're not sure you are going to dedicate dozens of hours into doing the same thing over and over.
Oh and yeah, microtransactions in a game like this, cause why not?

Astroneer is a fantastic survival game that shines with multiple players. There is an enormous amount of content across seven planets, and a compelling and mysterious story that reveals itself over time. Astroneer has unique crafting and storage systems that combine to create a compelling survival/crafting progression experience. You will have a great experience of exploring new terrain, discovering planets, and learning how to survive in a variety of environments.

The user interface for the game is very lightweight and pseudo-diegetic, which adds charm but can also lead to laborious clicking through 'menus.' Some of the vehicle movement can also be finnicky, leading to vehicles flipping or getting stuck often.

This was(is?) a great game, but at some point they ruined the camera controls (made them all floaty). It just makes me nauseous, it's unplayable now for me. I wish they would add an option to have direct camera control, without the smoothing/floatiness.

An overall enjoyable experience that was better suited to builder minded games who love Lego and Minecraft and care nothing for danger and conflict and make their own story.
It shared elements of story with Oxygen not Included.
This game would have been even greater had it drawn the player in with a bit of drama, some peril outside of running out of oxygen, and had it not kept some of the more desirable end game items until after its rather sudden and abrupt ending.
By midgame it simply keep feeling like there should be more, certain elements could have shown greater depth and the necessary progressions kept getting more and more repititive rather than growing with the player in a meaningful way.

Repetitive fetch and automate gameplay loop with the added drawback of only being able to have one of each resource in a stack, limiting the inventory space and artificially inflating the playtme

The game has fatal bug - you can't see the railway that connecting points of railway. game-devs still can't fix it even with new dlc. Guess, I have played even didn't reach the end.

The game is really fun, but by yourself after you get on most of the planets there isn't much to do, but I especially recommend it if you have friends to play with.

Just so everyone is aware THERE IS NO CROSSPLAY. Everyone must be on the same platform. You cannot crossplay steam and Xbox PC versions - everyone has to be steam OR Xbox PC.

After discovering this, we all downloaded the game through Xbox gamepass. Even when all of us were on gamepass, we kept getting a "lost connection to host" error when trying to join a multiplayer game. We have not found any solutions to this error after an hour of searching. Games have been reinstalled, Xbox accounts relogged, different hosts etc. The multiplayer just does not work for us. I hope everyone has better luck than us.

I've had to refund the steam version since i can't play with my Xbox friends. It's a shame since the game looks cute and fun.

Much as I'd like to recommend this, I just can't. That is because bugs that have been outstanding for ages in the original product are apparent here as well. The specific one I'm referring to & encountering, in this very DLC, is movement being "blocked by invisible walls". This is really frustrating & seriously detracts from my enjoyment of both the original & this new content.

Releasing a paid DLC with the exact same problems as the original title & without fixing the issues in either the original or the new DLC seems, to me, as nothing more than a typical dev studio/publisher cash-grab. Unfortunately, for me, Steam won't now allow me to refund this ... the age old bugs of the original are present in this DLC! Fix them!

Amazing game but there is an overpriced item shop that you can only spend real money on even though this is a singleplayer/co-op game

I got this game when it first came out and I gotta say this thing became a micro-transaction filled mess, they removed and locked the different body types that where once free are now locked behind a paywall.

Insane amounts of mouse smoothing, and no way to disable it in settings. Instantly felt like crap to me because of this.

Very intuitive gameplay, while also being relaxing to play. Great to play with friends!

This game is a buggy piece of crap. 3 hours spent gathering materials for a large rover to have the thing disappear for ZERO REASON. Quick google search shows that this has been an issue in the game for YEARS and this crap company is too lame to fix it or even have backup saves so you can reload in an attempt to recover your lost items.

How do you make a game like this and have a bug that is this much of a huge deal and not fix it for YEARS? Don't buy this game. Avoid it and it's crappy DLC.

a really fun game but a bit of a grind

the DLC is amazing and a dream but its a bit easy

to new people play the game first then the DLC

i will say this game is not what i expected and i say that with being absolutely blown away with how this games plays! it is so relaxing and a blast with friends! 10 out of 10 would recommend this to anyone this scratches my itch for extrapolation and adventure it has some fantastic challenges and one of the best teams backed behind it. DON'T SLEEP ON THIS GAME!!!! slight learning curve but once you figure the basics out it is a crazy in depth adventure game!

Great game, I've been playing since the alpha and it's only been getting better with every update.

You can also make racing kart tracks and race with friends which is very fun.

I would rate this as one of the best Survival/Crafting/Exploration games I've played. Everything about the game is fun. The one main downfall is that it doesn't have much in the replayability department. For me, the real fun was in exploring the various planets and figuring out how to progress through all of the different tech. However, if you have finished the game once, you already know where to get everything and the easiest ways to do so. It removes a LOT of the challenge. They do also hold pretty regular events that I haven't really taken part in. So perhaps I've been missing out.

I will say that this is one of those games I really wish I could play again for the first time. Especially with all the things they have added since then. However, I do have to wonder if I would enjoy it as much now because while these additions were major upgrades to automation and mobility, they also substantially lowered the difficulty. However contrary to the tone of this, I honestly think I would enjoy it even more.

i love this game, the first game i really had "a lot" of hours in and it's as fun in singleplayer as in multiplayer. really recomend if you wanna have a fun time i guess.

Gives you a lot of freedom to do whatever you want. Great game and lots of content to progress through for so little. A new DLC was released but is the first paid portion of content in 8 years of FREE content. You explore and build bases around an array of planets and moons with beautiful graphics, ambience and immersion, sucking you in to what feels like endless amounts of fun. I find it WAY more fun playing with friends but if you want a cozy game, and some peace and quiet, singleplayer might be the way for you. TLDR; lots of content, amazing graphics HIGHLY recommend. (I have a small amount of hours on steam because I recently transferred from Xbox)

Such a cool game. Its kind of like Minecraft, but space bean. (I love space bean games). I have a terrible habit of driving every vehicle into every cave and canyon that exists. If you are looking for a survival game to play with your friends, or solo, this is a good candidate. Just remember you need oxygen to exist.

Very chill game with fun exploration and base building, without much enemies or annoyance.
You also can tame adorable space slug creatures.
Play it if you prefer relaxed experience.

Dying on the way to your dead body deletes the first dead body, erasing all your stuff, even irreplaceable gastropods and very expensive late game items like jetpacks or hoverboards. Leaving a negative review SOLELY for that reason. So much progress lost, some of it impossible to replicate. If there was even a save backup feature but nooooo.

Edit: bit the bullet, tried again. Got even further. Plant I couldn't even see blew up my spaceship as soon as I landed while I was going around activating cores, so I was loaded down with a ridiculous amount of stuff. All of it gone.

Why oh why does the game INSTANTLY save upon literally anything happening? That is NOT a casual game mechanic, that is a HARDCORE MODE game mechanic. If something catastrophic like this happens in what is SUPPOSEDLY a relaxed and casual game, I SHOULD be able to alt-F4 and try again. But no.

This is not a casual game. It's just wearing casual game mask to hide how terrifying and punishing it actually is.

F-ck this game with a serrated knife.

really fun and unique survival game with loads of cool features and mechanics to dive into

Game is a lot of fun, especially for new players and with friends. It struggles with replayability as you pretty much do all the same stuff again in a very similar order. Chill vibes for later night gaming tho

very good game, great sound design and style to the game. very fun but can get a little repetitive, i still suggest playing it

Like many games where it is possible, this one is best enjoyed in multiplayer, but it's still plenty possible to have fun and relax. in singleplayer.

very fun, never had the motivation to complete it before but now im doing it and now its getting very interesting

It's pretty fun if you're looking for something goal oriented that is very chill. What hooked me initially was just terraforming and diving deeper. the terrain deformation is a ton of fun! rather cumbersome inventory management until you can get to resources for storage. then cumbersome space management thats convenient for crafting. had lots of fun! about to round off the last of the challenges around 100 hours
