Ostranauts

Very woke to the point of I was't even sure which of 2 provided portraits of my char parents was mother and who was father. Pronounce and all that crap also there. Massively turn off for me even before gameplay begins. Should've check better when I first bought this.

不错的游戏，买来几天已经玩了几十个小时了，甚至现在还没离开新手村，只搓了一条比较满意的船，可以招员工干活我很喜欢，至少不是我一个人手搓，不过游戏内建造和主界面的蓝图建造也做的太差了吧，先不说游戏内建造只有在默认视图里才能看见建造预览图，我每次框选完都得切视图看效果，甚至格子内有物体就不能建造，还得手动移走才能建造，不能替换墙体或者地板之类的东西，我看见好看的地板需要先手动选择把地板全拆了再建造新的，而不是直接替换地板，墙体也是一样，电线不能隐藏，难以想象星际时代不能把电线放在地板下，还得靠创意工坊解决，明明捡垃圾造船就是游戏主要玩法，结果建造系统差的难以想象，主界面的造船界面更是差的无话可说，建议开发者参考潜渊症，当然了，那个游戏的建造系统也很差，我拿它举例子只不过就是因为你们两个游戏的建造系统很像，不过它至少存在分类这个选项，你们那个建造界面的分类简直就是灾难，写到这我都想把好评换成差评了，不过游戏整体上还是瑕不掩瑜，期待正式版更新

Unfortunately, I cannot in good conscience recommend this game. I like the concept of it - starting with a small ship in mortgage, access to a ship boneyard for a nominal fee (or for free if you're good at hiding from cops) and some skills in building ships and tearing them apart. Simulated electrical systems, pressure, malfunctions such as fires or navigation station software bugging out. Build out your ship, travel the Solar System, do some stuff - questing, trading, asteriod mining, even participating in a war, good stuff, good ideas. The problem is bad implementation. The deeper you go into the game, the more problems you find with various systems. The gases don't go through adiabatic cooling, which is reasonable for a game, so any gases you pump into your ship are at room temperature, but *sometimes* re-pressurising a room ends up with it being barely a few Kelvin hot. Characters that are prone to choosing the way around the ship if they can, doesn't matter if that way happens to go outside and they have no EVA suit on (space, remember?). Autotasking, which is basically required if you don't want to click your character through installing 400 floors and 80 walls one by one, is very bad in a lot of ways that are too long to go into details here. Barely anything happens during time skip, so if you want any work done, you'll have to let your characters do the work and go watch Youtube or something. Characters still can't replace batteries in tools without dropping flat batteries on the ground instead of properly inserting them into chargers. And speaking of tools, they will choose the first tool they find when you need one, not "the best in their inventory" or anything like that, so you need to take care to not leave old tools in any reachable places. CO2 filters never get used up, so while CO2 buildup is still bad for your character, that particular system is half-baked. Item sorting in kiosks for buying/selling is arcane. Flight is Newtonian... to a point, it doesn't simulate gravity faithfully enough (in my opinion) and the navigation station doesn't give you enough tools to utilize the fact. Fuel isn't accounted in ship mass, which you could argue is a gameplay decision, but cargo in cargo pods does count in ship mass, so I dunno. Autopilot for interplanetary travel cheats, uses too much fuel and still smacks you into planets sometimes. I could go on and on, but you get the idea. I have two problems with this game. I played this game for 250 hours total, about 150 hours back when I just bought it and about 100 hours near and after release. This game pulled me in enough that I tried to figure out and work around all this problems, be it by modding, adapting my processes to the s*** factor, or any other ways. But at some point my will just broke. This game is an exercise in frustration, and in the end frustration subsumes any amount of enjoyment I got out of this game. The game is full of bugs, Discord bug forum is full of bugs, and only a small amount of them gets acknowledged and even smaller about fixed. The devs say "report the bugs", but even after you report it *and provide source code for a mod that fixes it*, chances are the bug will stay in the game for weeks ahead. I don't have patience to wait for months, but some well-known problems have stayed for years, apparently, so make what you will of it. That's the first and the biggest problem. The second, as the dev's community manager eloquently put it in Discord, "this game's elevator pitch is Firefly episode generator". There is a reason I'm indifferent to Firefly as opposed to Star Trek, and it's the setting. This game won't tell you power draw or any other specs for spaceship equipment. It won't tell you how much thrust thrusters produce or how far sensors can detect things. You're supposed to wing it. I don't like it. By the way, I like Rimworld. Rimworld is also a "story generator". It's also a lot, lot, lot better implementation-wise than this game. Don't get fooled by comparison. So there it is. Apparently this game has a deep simulation for characters relations, mental needs etcetc, but it was too arcane for me to figure it out, so I just ignored it. As is the norm for the game, it won't tell you anything, you're supposed to figure things out. Maybe this is not a one-guy-or-small-team-flying-spaceship simulation game but a dating simulator in space with elements of shipbuilding? I dunno. If you want to get the game, make absolutely sure your expectations match what it is.

A beautiful example on how to severly hamper the game by mismanaging priorities. Instead of fixing and improving the core gameplay, the devs seemed to focus on inane additions no-one (or extremely small subset of players) wanted. I don't care if you put pronouns in the game or add flirting, as long as the MAIN content doesn't suffer. But unfortunately in this case it did . I don't want to ad hominem the devs, but in the future please consider making a dating sim as a side project to compensate for the lack of a happy love life, instead of shoving it into extremely complex space scavenger simulator. Maybe some devs DO need a good supervisor to wrangle them and steer them into a productive direction. If you can ignore the social stuff and just focus on the scavenging aspect, go wild. Personally I feel kind of cheated, as during EA the game was being advertised as a seemingly different product. YMMW

This game is an utter mess. All actions are clunky and unresponsive, several mechanics feel hollow and pointless, combat is a joke. The game is insanely intensive on my computer as well. Mainly my biggest problem is I'm just disappointed. The game has decent promises and a neat idea, but it falls flat.

The game needs serious work. How do you ship 1.0 with broken need meters?

I want like game. Like dev other game many much times. Even though want like game, I no like game. Game obtuse. Even obtuse not good enough word and it one of biggest words. UI make you hate self so bad! Make you think it on purpose. Why ship smoking? WHY SHIP SMOKING?! TELL ME HOW DO ANYTHING!!

Clips, videos, and the wiki all show there is more to the game rather than just salvaging derelicts outside the starting system, but the tutorial and 22 hours of gameplay don't show that there is much more than that.
