Title: Astroneer
Post by: Amarr HM on December 20, 2016, 07:07:20 AM
Cutesy style space exploration in early access game, which looks fairly fun. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIUs1RGPolg)

Anyone tried it? Or too burned out on no mans shit.

It's totally on my wishlist, but too Early Access for me just yet.

If it still looks good and if the devs seem to be on the ball with it in ~6 months time then I'll get it, but I'm not in the mood for something unfinished again just yet.

Is there a game or is it half a sandbox?

Explore, mine, research, build things. Sandbox/open world.

This is a pre-alpha. I don't know what they have in store, was too busy playing and having fun to spend time reading about what is coming. I was expecting a lot more bugs, but it plays very smoothly.

So far I've managed to mine, set up a base, build a truck, and scavenge old spaceships that I've found crashed on my world. And die a few times. I've gotten lost and found my way back (no minimap). Gone caving. Died in a windstorm. Still feel like I've only scratched the surface, and I probably have 8 hours into it.
