Fantastic but needs work.

Addicting. Pretty. Imaginative. Imperfect. This game will get you hooked immediately. The further you go the better it gets. However, on the xbox anyways, the more you introduce into your world the slower the game becomes. This is truly a masterpiece in the making, but you may want to consider saving your pennies for at least the post-alpha release. Assuming that day comes.

Glitches but keeps me playing

Expect to die and lose your loot a lot. This game has intense glitches that will randomly shoot your character in and around the globe. From developing land to driving rovers or gathering resources, there is a chance of instant death. There is lag but it gets even worse when a sandstorm rolls in. The rovers are also extremely unstable. They cannot handle full speeds and at random times will throw you off and float through the air until the demon decides to come back down. Hilarious if you dont mind instant death. Even with all these problems, the game is pretty enjoyable. The colors are beautiful and the music is relaxing. Its great for chilling with a few friends but I think Astroneer needs a little more work.

Best Game of 2017

This game is amazing but does have some lag. The only thing I realy think they need to fix is the way you delete saves. Other than those 2 problems, I think this is the best game I have and ever will play in my life. I love the variety in the resources you collect and the way the game is textured and everything. This is just such a beutiful game. It also has a lot of room for improvement however as the unviverse and vehical range can get much more expansive. This game will definentaly become the next Minecraft.

Great idea, great graphics, awful control

ABSOLUTELY LOVE the idea. Space travel and exploration with a "survive/gather/build" almost Minecraft-esque gameplay; however the controls and camera angles frustrated me. At least half of my trial experience was running back to my shuttle until I figured out that the tethers were to help explore. Pretty much just gives some basic tips on how to play then casts you off to figure it out. Some sort of tutorial would've been nice. Especially how to extract and use the resources you find. The camera also frequently gave me some issue when using the terrain tool. I didn't enjoy that the camera didn't have an option to snap to where my character was looking or that its so sensitive and the moving rate was so high I would have to barely move the joystick to edit terrain effectively. The backpack inventory mechanic also has no quick drop feature and it moving with my character instead of being able to use the joystick to select things was awful. OVERALL i still loved playing.

Amazing Pre-alpha Game

This game starts off a bit slow, since there is no tutorial or instructions. There is a page that shows the controls, though. After you get a vehicle bay and a shuttle, the game gets alot better (and more laggy). The framerate of this game is not the best, either, as a mere sandstorm or you placing down alot of tethers will drop it down to around 5fps at the least. Other glitches are prominent around Astroneer, such as falling through the ground when you leave a shuttle to deformed landscapes, its all there. If you like casual games with a bit of difficulty and don't mind it being an unfinished game, then get this game.

Stunning game and idea, but it could use some tuning

The game is a must have for those who love space exploration and construction type games. It gives you a minecraft and no mans sky feel as you're playing. this is a game that could leave you sitting for hours on end with all the different areas and planets to explore. I reccomend playing the trial before you buy because you may not like some bugs and glitches although they rarely appear in some situations. If you are still unsure wether to buy it, watch some gameplay.

So very beautiful

I love the game's mechanics it seems so easy to play but it gets really challenging but that's what makes the game fun. The colors are so vibrant that it makes you feel like your in a entirely different world and that's what a great game should seem like.

great looking game and idea. Bad controls

it looks great and is a fun idea, but bad controls ruin the experience. also oxygen should last a lot longer so u can enjoy exploring and not running back every 20 sec. 1 button press would also be nice for moving inventory items instead of the slow cursor. please fix so i can buy and play this otherwise 5 star game
