13/10 would buy again. Even for 20€.

When I close my eyes I see gems now, should I be concerned?

Guess I have to eat more garlic.

The good
+ Works great on Linux with forced Steam Play without any modification :-)
+ Very nice atmosphere
+ Great sound
+ Incredible idea
+ Looks incredible on my 32:9 screen, although unplayable without dynamic resolution switched on, GTX 970
+ Minor jump scares, which I really like

The bad
- Controls are somewhat strange
-- Landing somewhere is finicky at best, especially if you need to be quick
- No controller support
- Flying through square rings in the tutorial reminded me of Superman 64 (I'm not sure you want that), especially because I had to fly back to nearly each one of them.
- Very cryptic at times
-- It took me almost 2h to figure out I can actually scan for different things than H2O
-- Oh, it's a 'where the f*k do I have to go' kind of game.
(I'm looking at you, blue beam of death and the scrambled message including "blue -> blue")
-- Suddenly a time limit? Oh wait...

The ugly
- UI is really, really bad. Having to constantly switch with different F buttons is almost entirely breaking the experience
- Navigating menus with the Numpad? Seriously... Why?
- Following cryptic signal bars and signal strenghts as main objectives without any other visual indication is getting boring
- The cockpit seems to be a slapped-on, pre-rendered texture without any real shading
- While taking off from a surface and forgetting to set the alternative controls (especially if died before!) the mouse position suddenly changes and you will probably crash again after a second

Some suggestions
UI:
Why not have more than one screen? And i.e. a dedicated "scan" button which then tells you what you are scanning for and works all of the time, not only when you are in the "Scan" sub menu.
The mini games like drilling and fixing equipment look like directly ripped-out from a mid-2000s Flash game and are incredibly unforgiving, hence not explained in detail.
An option to lower the sound of the alarm would be appreciated, I could not hear anything after jumping because the fuel was low and there was about two minutes of "blergh blergh" from the fuel alarm in the black loading screen without being able to turn it off.
Controls:
I don't know. It just feels wrong at times. Once you get the hang of it, it works somehow.
You need to know that anchoring only works at <=20 altitude, sometimes <=30 and sometimes even <=10.
Auto pilot for landing maybe? (No Man's Sky...)

I really like this game but it needs a lot of work going forward.
