The verdict
A relaxing, combat-free terraforming survival game with very satisfying visible progression. Skip it if you want depth, polish or challenge, since the late game turns into waiting and grinding.
Great for
Players who want a chill, no-combat Subnautica-like crafting game, solo or in co-op
Main risk
Mid and late game becomes a repetitive grind of waiting for numbers to go up
