The hottest of garbage and dumpster fires.

343i is just treating this as a quick cash grab, every game so far has released with crippling issues, and they arnt getting fixed. Such as the inability to pickup weapons in H:CE if you arnt on a certain version of windows, or Halo 2 where the audio is simply not functional.

You would honestly have a less frustrating time going to a flea market finding a working Xbox and playing the games on their original releases.

This game, Oh man this game.
It dosent look like much, and there isnt a whole lot to it. But this game was my life when I was a young kid.
That may be sad or humorus in a "at-my-own-expence" kind of way. But this game was fun as hell for me.

Every waking moment not spent at school was spent playing this game.

If you want a game that throws you into itself with no fanfare, barely any guidence or explanation, and expects you to sustain yourself by looking for trading opportunity to scrape together pennies. Eventually you will run your own buisness and overthrow the other players who setup buisness before you. Then other newer players will trade with your buisnesses and scrap together their pennies to eventually try to overthrow you.
its a big metaphorical ocean of oppurtunity. The only question is, are you a Minnow, or a shark?

It cannot be stated enough just how bad the tracking is in this game. So many other games I havent had any problems with so it isnt my Controllers HMD or sensors. Additionaly the game is one of the rare few that nauseate me. Shoppe Keep did the same thing so its a wonder I even gave this game a shot but thats just me.

The game itself is fun, although it hardly presents itself in a playable manner. Very little is told to the player and the controlls for movement... Rotating your perspective and repositioning yourself should not be on the same thumb stick. Tilt the stick just ever so slightly and you change facing completely. Plus if you reposition yourself out of the area the game wants you to be in the video blacks out, good luck getting back to where you need to be now that your blind.

Overall the game is entertaining when everything is going according to plan. Unfortunately for me and my Occulus, it never does. Might be better for you guys out there with an HTC Vive with its superior tracking capability. But if you have an Occulus, or something with even less tracking ability. Give this a pass.

Everything you could ever want from Minecraft with the tedious landscaping and pointless thrid dimention stripped out.

Mine resources to build parts of a factory, to build a factory that builds parts of a factory. All to make make an even bigger factory.

Shallow, lacks variety and every major patch they get rid of more features and make more terrible design choices.

Plus now it seems the moderators on the fourms are jumping at any chance to perma ban people without warning who criticize the game.

Compared to actually going fishing this "simulation" is a painfully obvious video game.

Just go get a real rod and reel and get some fresh air instead of playing this.

Nope.
*slide whistle*

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ its good.

An absolute Gem of a game dispite being one of those that flew in way under the radar.
If you like Managment tycoon games you need to add this one to your collection. Just check the fourms if you dont belive me, people are BEGGING for a sequal.

Post v1.06 Update:
Derlict games (a community team) has picked up the task of fixing what Doublefine left for us.
Progress is slow but allready with v1.07 and v1.071 the game is noticably improved. Many bugs are fixed and there are quite a few new structures avalible.

Unfortunately becuase Doublefine only released the Lua Scripting what can be done is very limited in nature and many aspects of the game are being rewritten from scratch to make them more eaisly worked with.

I dont reccomend buying Spacebase DF-9 yet. In time that will change but there still are better games out there like Startopia.

Origional Review:
I previously had a negative review of the early access for this game due to various bugs, quicks and gamebreaking issues. I went into 1.0 with the intent of viewing the game as a clean slate and giving it a fair chance at a positive review.

Unfortunately though nothing has changed.

The AI is terrible, and incapable of even the most basic levels of prioritisation. Crew will get stuck behind objects which is a new issue for the game this sort of thing wasent a problem in previous alpha releases. The initial seed powering system is still buggy. I had to rebuild the room around it 3 times before it registered leaving me with very little resources left to actually continue my station. The predicted resource gains from mining is completely inaccurate. It gave me an estimate of around 1000 or so and i got maby 200. The event system is still stupidly unforgiving and 9 out of 10 new game attemps will fail because of massive ammounts of meteor showers hostile invaders or generally just incompetent AI.

The only thing i can tell they did add was a tutorial that nobody wanted or needed. For all intents and purposes the description of the 1.0 update is nothing more than a lie, there have been no bugfixes, there is no new content.

Do not buy this game. No matter how much of a fan of this genre you are this game is not worth the cost. Dont make the same mistakes myself and the rest of the community that bought into this project.
