Played this years ago and found it too unfinished and esoteric. Picking it back up now that its out of early access, It looks lovely and has a pleasing Minecraft-like progression that requires some struggle. At times it is still a little bit too esoteric for me; pages of instructions and even in-game videos that sometimes only add confusion when you want a simple answer. Or things like the multi-tool, which you have to make in order to do very basic things like pick up and move objects you've placed...only to find out it requires fuel to operate and that fuel is difficult to find without an even more advanced tool. It's a bit unnecessary.
I would have much rather had a bigger focus on aesthetics and crafting since all the elements are there; Sims-lite meets survival in space.
Still, it's very enjoyable if you can let yourself sink into it. Not everyone will want to do that, but if you liked Astroneer or Planet Crafter you may dig it.
