Satisfactory with environmental engineering ? Count me in!
Lovvveeeed this so much!! Perfect balance of slight grind, build pretty things and loved the numeric system of watching your planet progress to a liveable atmosphere. Blueprints unlocked at good timings and the pace of the game was just extremely addicting Me and my partner grinded the whole 32hrs of gameplay over less than a week, so it's safe to say this was excellent and well worth the purchase :)
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be the first settler on a new planet with barely anything, and to find out what happened there prior to your arrival? Then this is definitely a game for you :-) Usually, I do not like survival games because the PvP or PvE aspect makes them constantly stressful, and you cannot work on building and improving your little world without constantly being attacked or having your progress set back... This game is different, however :-) And that’s exactly why it is so easy to get lost in it for hours without regretting it, as every minute spent in the game brings new progress that you can continue working on the next time you come back to it. Collecting widely scattered resources will take up most of your time in the beginning, and due to the limited oxygen outside and the small inventory, I would definitely recommend playing it with at least one additional person as a team. Otherwise, it will be really hard to make any significant progress, and it can become very time-consuming and frustrating. The game feels really rewarding and gives you a great sense of accomplishment. Throughout the game, new things keep turning up, and it is not just about collecting and building. You are also guided through a storyline about what happened on this planet before you landed there and why you were sent on this mission in the first place. There are also many hidden secrets scattered across the map that you have to discover on your own. Just don’t forget to check every crevice ;-) I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys this kind of adventure!
This game is great. I knowingly ignored real life things I needed done to play it more. I highly recommend games that destroy my plans.
Es básicamente un juego incremental entretenido, sin más.
This is a tremendous achievement for a team of 7 developers. Every planet I terraform blows me away.
diese Spiel ist für jeden, der Survivalgames mag aber keine Lust auf dieses ewige Kämpfen hat - hier geht es cozy zu und das einzige Ziel ist es: Überleben und den Planeten zum Leben erwecken! Ich liebs :)
D'abord je n'avais pas été emballé par les images que j'avais vu de Planet Crafter, puis en quelques minutes j'étais pris. Le gamedesign rend l'exploration smooth, couplé à une progression lente mais tellement satisfaisante. Partir d'un désert pour y voir se former des lacs, observer les plantes qui lentement colonisent la planète... Je suis devenu rapidement un grand fan de ce jeu, non sans défaut, mais que je vous recommande entre amis. Et cerise sur le marbré, une seule copie des DLC suffit pour en profiter à plusieurs ! Bravo aux dévs <3
After more than 700 hours, this game still gives me emotions, a sense of discovery, and pure joy. Recently, after all this time, I discovered a new animal — and I was incredibly happy! The fact that a game can still surprise me after 700 hours is something truly special. From the very beginning, I was fascinated by the concept of terraforming. Honestly, I was tired of post-apocalyptic worlds. In The Planet Crafter, I get to watch a planet come alive before my eyes, slowly transforming from a barren, rocky place into a beautiful paradise. There is something indescribable about reaching a new terraformation stage and suddenly realizing that the sky has turned blue, moss has appeared on the slopes, and life is gradually spreading across the planet. Secret locations and collectibles bring me a special kind of joy too. I am building my own museum and collecting every figurine and poster I can find! I absolutely love this game, and I am very grateful to the developers for creating such a wonderful experience. You can truly feel how much effort, creativity, and imagination have been put into it. I have really enjoyed all the DLCs and the moons, and I am looking forward to future updates and paid DLCs. I also really love the updated sky! I honestly can't stop taking screenshots of it. It makes the world feel even more beautiful and alive. Personally, I would love to see birds in the future, a greater variety of genes, more planets, and more building pieces. I would especially like to see more window options for circular buildings and curved structures! After spending so much time in the game, I would also love to see more reasons to continue developing and improving a planet after reaching the late game. New long-term goals, discoveries, building options, and ways to make each planet feel more alive would add even more replayability and make me want to keep coming back. Thank you for this wonderful creation. I wish you lots of inspiration and hope that even more players will discover and enjoy this amazing game! 💚
This game has been amazing and such a nice change of pace from the genre. Always something new to discover and at a relaxing pace and nothing to feel in danger from other than the elements. If you love the survival genre and want a break from the combat this is a must buy.
