    I'm not sure why this wee gem of a game has been scored at only 6.7 by users. My faith in humanity is destroyed once again. This is a fantastic game, and one of the few I've got 100% for. It's not perfect, but it is perfect at what it does. One of the best games I've played in recent years. Love it!

    So nobody is going to mention the fact that one of the first things the game does introduce you to these cute little creatures that it says "love you", to only a minute later forces you to beat them to a bloody pulp? (Otherwise, you can't progress.)

    But in the few minutes up to that point, it was pretty to look at and decently written.    … Expand

    Far too short a game (lucky if its 9/10 hours) for the money, avoid until it's down to about $8 or thereabouts.

    Constant crashes I don't know why. Play fornite all the time without any issues. So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with this game.

    Good graphics, and this is all good. Everything other is boring. Nothing interesting in gameplay.

    Плохо оптимизирована. Красочна-пустая бродилка, с никакущей стрельбой, да и стрелять по хомячкам особо желания нету, тем более с просадками. Игра с юмором, который так и пытается нас рассмешить, тем самым бросив пыль в глаза.
    Если в других играх вы исследуете ради чего - то, награды, повышения силы, опыта и т.д, то здесь просто.. просто это вся игра, это сюжет, исследование ради    Плохо оптимизирована.

    It's only challenging because of bad design. This is the gaming embodiment of a turd rolled in glitter.

    ---{ Gameplay }---
    Mostly platforming, and a bit of shooting.
    The platforming is imprecise at best, mostly because there's no way to tell when you can/can't grab onto a ledge. The way a grapple should work is, if you're in range and facing the grapple point, you can grapple. Not in this game. Sometimes it works, sometimes you fall and have to start a tedious climb all over again. Or die.
    The shooting is inaccurate, and the most dangerous monsters are immune, except for tiny, moving, weak spots. So... that obviously wasn't thought out very well. Even if you trap them in goo, the weak spot moves around a lot, so you're just spamming bullets until you're lucky enough to land a shot. Oh and sometimes, as if that weren't enough, their weakpoint is on their back/tail, but despite being stuck in goop, they rotate so they're always facing you... that's either a bug or brainless game design. Also their attacks can just reach you anywhere. As in, an enemy will anti-grav up a tree just to hit you.
    The dodge mechanic seems pretty useless. The enemies you have to dodge seem to lock on to you, and are much faster than you, so.... what's the point?
    There's no map. For a game based heavily around exploration, this seems like a huge oversight. You constantly come across puzzles you don't have the equipment to solve yet, good luck finding/remembering all of them without a map or waypoints. EDIT: This is made a bit easier later once you unlock radar abilities for the collectables.

    ---{ Graphics }---
    Absolutely beautiful. Nice vibrant colour palette. World design is cool and trippy.

    ---{ Audio }---
    The music is awesome but there really isn't much of it. Shame that.

    ---{ Difficulty }---
    Not hard, just hard to play.

    ---{ Grind }---
    Lots of collectables, otherwise not really.

    ---{ Bugs }---
    There's no pause function. In 2023.

    ---{ PC Requirements }---
    Max settings on an i5-9600K and an RTX 2070 = constant 60fps.    … Expand

    It's a parody of the entire survival genre on a massive scale and simple, light-hearted adventure wrapped in one game. You probably won’t regret signing up with Kindred Aerospace, but still, this game could have been more engaging.

    Fun times for all explorers eager for well-made levels full of secrets. You probably won’t enjoy the action parts too much, but it’s still well worth your time.

    This is a generous game in both deed and spirit, and, as such, one it's tremendously difficult to dislike. [Issue#343, p.106]
