    Planet Crafter's good ideas and a real sense of satisfaction when you succeed in the various objectives make it a particularly addictive title. However, it's impossible to forget all the aspects that can be improved.

The game has a heavy focus on exploration and resource gathering. There's a good levelling up mechanic. Graphics are very good, the music is good, the environment is immersive. Another plus is the absence of violence, which makes it kid friendly, and the broadly scientific approach is a learning opportunity. Multiplayer would be nice though.… Full Review »
