Why must it be an apocalypse scenario for me to afford a nice house? 10/10

Still buggy at times, but enjoyable. I like Valheim and Genshin Impact, and the game reminds me of both.
The developers sure like the games and so do I.

Not friendly to new players, too small text, even with the blow up option.

I have watched this game grow. The developer is very communicative and listen to feedback, so it's fun seeing how you can influence upcoming content and help with bug fixes.
The art is beautiful and communicate well the gameplay, with little clutter on the screen.

It check all the boxes in of a life sim, and quests from npcs give you small goals to work for if you wan't some guidance in your game.

You could in theory build towns with farms on planets and collect rent, but I managed to squeeze in all that into my ship.
You can pick up everything, but townies will be pissed if you start to dismantle their houses, hehe.
You can also tame creatures and dress up in cosmetics. If you feel like it, admin code cheats will grant you access to the full game and loot if you just want to build and not do the campaign.

Swapping platforms during bossfights is my only complaint. I died a lot because the feature doesn't work well compared to other games.

Base building, crafting, survival, humor, odd flora and fauna. So much charm. I love the cloud save feature, can jump between Nintendo Switch, Android phone and PC (that's why gameplay hours are low on steam, I play it a lot on Switch).

Voice acting sync is meh, acting is ham, Story is okay, combat is hecking fun, but endgame is pay to win.

You can constantly explore and find new chests and rewards that can support your standard gacha banner addiction since treasures respawn. You will start double jumping in other games by habit.

Can recommend for the character creator alone.
