STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expeditions

Honest review. Game was popular during initial early access launch when it was only Wetlands. Shortly before the Tangle opened up, the game was much less popular - many players have not been playing day to day. I enjoyed the Wetlands, it was fun. The Tangle was still enjoyable, but gliding vs power requirements is rough. Also not getting the stealth module until late into the Tangle is rough for those who don't do combat very well (I was fine with it). The carrot questline in August 2026 was fine. I do not enjoy the level of water based tasks that must be played in area #3 and will no longer be playing. It's a fun game. But it is no longer for me.

First of all: It is not Astroneer2 For what it is, a funny PVE multiplayer resource collection game it is great. It is in active development as early access games are, so don't expect a finished and polished game here.

If you're on the fence, just wait for a few months. It could go either way.

Repetitive, Rushed, gone is the satisfaction of building (as found in Astroneer). Now you have a mini backpack and have to store everything in a vault... and the materials you're storing aren't used for building anything fun. I'm not totally sold on this yet... it's a grind that goes nowhere. If you get the game on discount... and put in at least the 57.9h I have (at the time of this post)... is it worth it... maybe.. just for the entertainment... But I don't think it comes close to the fun and enjoyment found in the replaying of the original Astroneer.

Chill and satisfying. I haven't played Astroneer in quite some time but knew going into this game it was going to be a different kind of relaxing adventure. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to wind down and do some collecting; which by the way is pretty satisfying to vacuum up. It's obviously in Early Access so there's only a few major zones, so I'm looking forward to more tasks and missions being put out. You can team up to 4 players total, other people can be on the planet with you but it's really a non worry issue: anything you collect nearby another person, they'll get the same that you're collecting too so don't need to worry about resource hogging - and it's not like you'll always run into someone, only a few people out in the world. If you end up losing all your health and going down, at least you can have someone try to help you back up which is nice. On top of that, even if you can't communicate vocally or through text, the community seems pretty chill. There's a store that features only in game currency (No real money involved unless you want to *support the developers*, otherwise the only way to get the currency is via playing the game) for a good amount of cosmetics that's currently released and you can customize the pieces by size, placement and rotation which was a nice little feature. Overall I've been enjoying my time playing with my friends and family, the vacuuming, the movement tech, and helping others getting their tasks complete has been enough to keep me coming back to this. Can't wait for more content!

Starseeker is a very solid early access game, with responsive devs and an active community.

This game is NOT Astroneer.. it is completely different! You’re not base building and just collecting resources to visit different planets. You are doing quests, gathering items, crafting, and you get to take on creatures and loot their resource. It’s a grindy game for sure and I find it relaxing.

Fun game, not astroneer 2.
