    StarForge may well be infinite, but it’s a rather small infinity.

There is practically no content and the game is incredibly poorly made inAn unfinished, buggy, overhyped and disappointing mess of a game. There is practically no content and the game is incredibly poorly made in every aspect except graphics, which is what I suspect most of the development time was spent on.

    A simple example of how dumb this game is: In order to even get started with the tech tree, you need iron or and "oil" (actually misnamed coal). So, where do you find iron and oil? Well, in any decent game it would be semi-evenly spread across the map so the player doesn't have to wander the map for a **** hour before stumbling upon it. Instead, iron and oil as well as most other resources occur simply as giant mounds in a few places on the map. Often you can only find a certain resource in one particular place in a giant map, and there is no way to know where.

    Or you can dig down 450 **** meters with your torturously slow tier 1 drill in the hopes of finding a tiny amount of iron and probably die in-game or irl before you find it.

    The construction, one of the central aspects of this sort of game, is utter **** It takes the worst aspects of freeform digging and minecraft voxels and mashes them together. It is practically impossible to reshape terrain in a way that doesn't look like ass and even the simple act of building a basic box house is annoying. Oh, and you can only remove the last five blocks you have placed. If you want to change or remove your building after that, then **** you, apparently. You literally have to use explosives or heavy weapons to remove blocks just to add a window or an internal door. It. Is. Ridiculous. Even Rust was more fun to build in, and Rust was a piece of ****    … Full Review »

I will never buy anything again from this developer. I bought it in early alpha on ground of the trailer (which showed nice and smooth gameplay and graphics) but the released game is just garbage. Stay as far away from this as you can, and to the devs: nice try, but don't put your hobby projects on steam with false promises. 20 bucks down the drain.… Full Review »
