What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Gameplay is easy and satisfying, though it can get a bit grindy later on.
In terms of progression, the gap between extremely poor and extremely rich is very short, especially with later quests granting infinite energy sources and being able even before then to generate endless power with just some aluminum and a silo.
Astroneer is a cozy, chill sandbox game with intuitive mechanics, beautiful visuals, and a relaxing soundtrack.
I 100%'ed the original campaign (excluding dlc). 10/10 space exploration game, the co-op mode is very fun, and the mechanics are great.
