its so abstract and weird but also such a unique experience/atmosphere that I havent seen anywhere else in gaming. Its maybe not the most action packed game, but its still absolutely worth playing. It offers a sort of experience I havent had in any other game.

It is a cool game. There is a very heavy focus on logistics, and a lot of your time will be spent just trying to design and redesign ships over and over again (not a bad thing if you enjoy that).

Despite being early access, a lot of the features of the game, specifically of the shipbuilding, feel surprisingly polished and in-depth. HOWEVER, the campaign gameplay is fairly weak, mainly focusing around just making bigger and bigger ships with not much of an end goal.

If you like building ships with complex logistics, interesting design choices/tradeoffs, and maybe some big lasers, cossmoteer is a good game for you. Just don't expect a ton of interesting gameplay from the fairly formulaic campaign.

This game is amazing. If you like platformers, this game is for you. Even if you are like me and don't play platformers often, I'd still definitely recommend this game. The levels do get a bit tedious at times, but it's still overall a good, fun challenge. This game also tackles deeper topics like anxiety and depression alongside its generally fairly lighthearted mood. It also has awesome pixel art, and a great soundtrack by Lena Raine (the same person who is now making the newer minecraft OSTs).

As long as you have a bit of patience to get through some of the tougher levels, I'd absolutely recommend this game, and for anyone who wants to complete the game 100%, it provides a good challenge to collect all the optional stuff.

if you enjoy exciting platformers with unique obstacles / gameplay mechanics and some quality pixel art and music along with some good story stuff, just get this underrated game, you won't regret it!

great game with great shapes and great beats

Sure, I agree that the devs should put some effort into adding more free things to the base game as opposed to exclusively making DLC like they have been. However, I personally really like this DLC and am surprised to see the mixed reviews.

While the devs should work on the base game, I'm reviewing this DLC for what it contains as opposed to what the devs should have been taking their time to work on, since this isn't a workshop page to discuss and criticize their prioritization.

I like to create industrial-looking creations. Industrial-ness can give off the impression of raw power and utility. Going in order for each new reskin / item, these are my OPINIONS on them. You may disagree and that is fine with me. Rating them out of 5 stars for how much they add to a more industrial aesthetic.

- The large magnetic plate can look good in larger builds where the normal landing gear could look a little small, however it is a somewhat rare use case. (3/5 stars)
- The beam blocks are great for making builds look sturdy and help to make builds look more detailed. (5/5 stars)
- The pipes may be my favorite parts, as the default conveyors can sometimes look a little odd with how square they are. The pipes fix that and can make builds, especially industrial ones, look so much better. (5/5 stars)
- The cylindrical column is fine, it is nothing particularly special but does help add a bit of structure and detailing. (3/5 stars)
- The vertical button panel is okay. There are situations where it works but in most cases you will probably find more use out of a more standard button panel. (2/5 stars)
- The large hydrogen tank reskin can be a little awkward to work with. It has only a third of the default's conveyor ports and not many mount points to place other blocks on it, and it does not always work amazingly in builds. However, I definitely think it has some good potential depending on how you use it. Also spherical shapes help with structural integrity, so it could be a practical design if that mattered in this game. (3/5 stars)
- I like the large cargo container reskin. It looks heavy and, well, industrial. It may not always be the most useful (especially with 2 less conveyor ports), but I think it works well and definitely adds to the industrial aesthetic. (4/5 stars)
- The assembler and refinery reskins have a great level of detail and can add quite a bit to a build. They don't always work as well as their normal counterparts, but when you have room to spare they definitely add to the industrialness of things, especially when combined with catwalks. Plus the devs added little hatches to access the inventories from the catwalk areas, which is nice. (4/5 stars)
- The industrial hydrogen thrusters can look very nice in the right builds and certainly make things feel powerful. However, just know that if you have OCD and care a lot about symmetry, those things are not symmetrical in any way. (4/5 stars)
- The hazard armor paint skin is quite nice, and it can be used in a lot of places, not restricted to just industrial builds. Unfortunately the skin isn't actually applied to most types of blocks, its mostly only armor blocks that actually get affected, which is unfortunate. For that reason I can't really give it a 5/5 rating, but I still really like the pattern and its nice that you don't have to stick to a yellow and black design but can also do other stripe colors alongside the black stripes. (4.5/5 stars)

Good DLC, though the devs still need to work on the base game more. At the very least they added a couple blocks to the base game alongside this DLC, the armor plates in particular are wonderful.

Such a great survival game. Story is great, survival elements are great, overall experience is great, highly recommended.

If you like vehicle-building and large space environments, this is definitely a good game. It has a lot of possibilities for what you can build, and a number of options for what to do. The building system also isn't as hard as building a spaceship may sound (gyroscopes make things so much easier). It isn't a perfect game, the survival modes do get boring in singleplayer and the building can sometimes be a little tedious, but I still recommend it, and there are a lot of mods to get to make the game more interesting.
