Visuals and controls are good, gameplay is very samey and drags out a bit too long. You're trying to build a rift to get back to earth which requires a lot of various resources. Resources are unlocked on other planets through a series of missions. The missions are all very much the same for each major resource you need.

The events that spawn like nearby nests or large enemies only really serve as an annoyance, they basically nag you until you go deal with it.

The game also has a few bugs, including a couple which were basically game breaking. One was an issue with power generation, I had an array of different power production set up (renewable, gas, magma, nuclear etc...) and yet I had no power generation. The only way to fix it was to open the console and type debug_recreate_buildings which fixes it. The other issue was starting up the rift sequence (literally the last thing you need to do to end the game). Had to again run that console command.

Ignoring those bugs it's an ok game, but largely forgettable.
