    A game that is lovingly made, with a very interesting crafting system. Unfortunately, due to a lack of goals, purpose or anyone one else playing it has very low playability.

    Although a somewhat generic survival sandbox, Planet Explorers certainly had the potential to be a fun game... if only it was a complete one. Those who were here since the days of Early Access will definitely see the improvements, but this still has a long way to go.

You follow along a quest-line where you have crashed upon a planet called Maria, and you were an astronaut from Earth. Although the game is still being developed, it is very enjoyable and quite good-looking. Full Review »

It is only in alpha, but already has a lot to it. Think Minecraft in a beautiful sci-fi world (mixed with medieval weapons and armor) with a interesting and mysterious story. I've only really played story mode so far, but the story has a nice touch of mystery to it that gives the game a real adventurous feel. Aside from that you can use resources to create weapons, vehicles (ground and air), and structures in an easy to use modeling-esque interface. You actually can build and design all of your own stuff! That is really the highlight of the game so far, and what sets it apart from others in the genre. The voxel terrain is beautiful. There's no leveling yet, so everything is gear based. The progression is pretty solid, I feel like I am discovering new species at a rate that is quick enough to hold my interest, but not so quick that it is overstimulating. I am really excited to see what this game becomes. An hour in I thought, this game is ok. 2-3 hours in, I was amazed, and became very excited for what is to come. Full Review »

I must admit that all my PE experience has been in the sandbox option, I didnt deal with any quest or story-related material. As soon as they fix the "clunky" building experience I'm sure that it will be far superior to "Minecraft" in ease and looks. One of the reasons I lost inteerest quickly in PE is because of the option to buy all your materials rather than search and mine for them. I understand that this makes the game easier, but far less satisfying.. I think this game has potential but currently it may not be worth the investment.. its a wait and see Full Review »
