Review updated: Thumbs down.

Reason: dev does not intend to finish the game properly. Sadly that's a greenlight/early access speciality of devs. While the game is fun with the content so far see review below I don't intend to reward bad habits (like selling unfinished games) by recommending the game to anyone.

Dev goes on about act 2 etc. but updates indicate he's given up on this product or working on DLC
or episode 2.
If you don't wanna support this behaviour, don't buy this game.

Old review:
Had a fun time exploring the content of the game just after release. (31 hrs on record) Felt unpolished but the devs still add to the game and also Terraria wasn't quite finished after release. I'll be returning to the game once there's more content and the plot completed.

As you see on the pictures you explore a dark planet (as a stranded astronaut). Creatures spawn aggressively in the dark so you put up lights and build a shelter. You dig down to get rarer metals, craft better armors and weapons. You know the formula.

Looks and atmosphere are the selling point as the game is prettier than some of its competitors and feels claustrophobic in the dark depths filled with horrors. Despite being a Terraria-like the game has its own feel to it unlike say "Edge of Space" which I still find slow-going with a cumbersome control.

Concepts like electric wiring or rails aren't properly explained ingame but are fun once you figured out/read how they work.

Can recommend for a fun experience and will only become better over time.
