Very solid open world space survival base building and crafting game that provides the option for Online Co-op. It features terraforming mechanics and the ability to travel from planet to planet via spaceship. Items to collect and discover in the game present logistical challenges depending on the storage and transport technology the player is currently utilizing. This gives progression in the game a more meaningful purpose. Power and oxygen distribution are also key elements that the player needs to manage in order to safely traverse the various environments/biomes.

There are plenty of gadgets, buildings and vehicles for the player to unlock and use to continue their quest of progressing technology and uncovering the lore of the universe. What's particularly satisfying is the capability to make a mobile base such that vehicles and ships aren't simply a faster way to traverse the planets you explore. Not to mention the fact that you can fit ground vehicles with mining drills allowing you to excavate tunnels and collect resources at a much faster and efficient rate.

The cartoony art style and color palate might be a turn off for some players, but the content and gameplay loop of Astroneer is certainly top notch, especially for players that want a more chill exploration and survival flow to the game that isn't constantly bombarding them with enemies to kill or raids on their base(s).

If you're into survival crafting and base building games set in space, Astroneer is certainly worth giving a try.
