Excellent art. Fantastic music. Wonderful atmosphere.

Very underwhelming game play, unfortunately. The world they created is interesting. I'm interested in seeing all the things in that world. But the action involved in getting from place to place is a real slog. That's the main thing -- it's a game about driving around different places. The driving, for me, needed to be at least a tiny bit engaging.

Kudos for the art and atmosphere, though.

This game needs a lot of work to help players get into the game. Instead, you get a list of urgent deliveries which are scattered all over the enormous map.

I just want to get back into the game and run a couple of missions. The game offers you NO help in this regard. Good luck, it says. Also, that bus that you were driving, you can't drive it anymore because of reasons.

I expected a lot more polish after this long in early access. Needs serious playtesting.

If you liked the Escape Simulator game or other puzzle games, you will enjoy this one. The puzzles are clever but not overly challenging. The modeling is very well done, the boxes have a fun puzzle-box like element of undoing latches and sliding things this way and that. The sound design is also very well done. Lots of deep mechanical thunks and clicks and so forth.

Great fun to play couch co-op, collaboratively solving the puzzle.s

Wow, this is really good. And free. What a gift to everybody who owns the base game. Thank you for this fantastic effort.

Look clearly there's a lot of work to be done with this one. But obviously, they are planning to work on it for many years.

Everyone who went into histrionics about the performance was making a bit of a dramatic performance themselves. With a few settings changes, the game runs just fine right out of the box. But people are in a race to be negative about things these days, and this game was no different.

Is this game good? Yup
Is it a worthy successor to CS:1? Absolutely.
Should people direct 10% of the ire they put at this game towards real world issues that actually impact people? Also yes.

It's a game people. Play it. It's not bad.

I feel like they delivered on the promise of this game. And that if you're willing to go along for the ride it offers you, it is utterly engrossing, enormous, and so full of life. It is just such a treat going to each new settlement and there's so much more to see. Even with the ridiculous amount of hours I've already put in.

It also runs great and I haven't had any significant bugs.

Another thing I really appreciate about it is the design decisions really hew towards getting to the fun. You can fast travel A LOT. So you rarely have to backtrack to your ship before you set off to a new location. That makes it so you're basically always heading towards your goal and never backtracking. That's a great compromise for the limited opportunities to hand fly the ship.

It's great!

Man, after finishing this game, it left a hole in my days. I find myself struggling to think of a game I could pick up that would play like this one played.

Is it perfect? No. Will you probably have to look up some stuff to help you progress? Probably.

But the sensation of stepping off the elevator at a new and unfamiliar level and very carefully exploring it is absolutely top notch. And I love the way the map design reminds me of playing 90s games. They are wide and flat with very little vertical overlap.

Super entertaining and very engrossing! The only problem is I'm kind of out of luck to think of another game that can hold a candle to this.

Sloppy menus make it really easy to accidentally lose your saved game. That's just careless

I love baseball video games of all shapes and sizes. This is a fun new shape! This game is simple and fun and there isn't really another baseball game quite like it.

We've already had great games in 2 player mode! It's really back and forth, never over until the last out is recorded. Super unpredictable, super fun little game!

The concept is very good, the execution leaves a lot to be desired. Bugs and glitches have been there for years at this point. There is so little attention paid to quality of life that the player is constantly fighting the UI. Could be great. Ultimately a frustrating experience.
