Yes!
I was trying a demo of a similar game and my friends kept saying "Try Planet Crafter" and I'm like, I will. Then I try it. Dang it, I can't stop now. lol I have 48 hours currently.

(Should be mostly spoiler free)

It is beautiful in here, even on lower graphics, or lower wattage to your system. :)

It's fun to explore, though I don't like the regular settings. Things fall too fast so survival for me is a bit easier since I pretend I'm with an elite squad that have great gear that doesn't allow my needs to fall too fast so I can focus on exploring and creating, my faves. ^.^

There's things in here that are fun to watch progress. Like hope filling a dark void. It's a beautiful game of survival and progress. I'm soon to be seeing more greenery but I'm still early on.

I try to not learn too much about what to expect as the planet changes so I can watch it in awe instead of in expectation.

My friend joined my game and suddenly she had achieves for things she did not do. Sadly, she's an achievement hunter so this did not turn out well. She did find a way to reset it.

If you are an achievement hunter and want to do all of it on your own, you may need to take a few extra steps of precaution so you don't find yourself suddenly with achieves you did not accomplish.

There are bugs. The terrain is sometimes able to be seen through. You've probably seen that with other games. Cut outs in the mountains or ground/ clipping and such? You may also get stuck. I recommend saving so if you get stuck, you can just reload.

The options available are nice. They also notify you if the options in the game will affect achieves (like unlocking things in advance in custom mode). I like custom mode to make sure when I die, I don't lose everything. I hate that in games lol. I wouldn't mind if I could just loot my body but it's not quite that easy.

Everyone has their own play style and I think this game offers up many options so that many types of players can find enjoyment in this game.

It consists of survival, base building, gathering and monitoring. Growing and producing.

Water will rise if you do it right. Build high. If not, your equipment won't work under water and you'll have to break down the materials and relocate, which isn't too big of a deal if it's a small base. I kinda like having an underwater base. :D

Note: You can use notes to put your coordinates in, then pin it to your screen to always see it.

F2 for FULL SCREEN (no overlay, except for pinned recipes you may have up). Great for taking screenshots!

One last thing..... ♥
Those asteroids. They kinda hurt, but they hold a secret. Are you brave enough to let one hit you to find out what the secret is? haha

I'm an amateur reviewer, average gamer. I write reviews to share my perspective, to be combined with other reviews to get a better view of what to expect. Please read other reviews for more experiences. Sometimes good to check the discussions area and announcements area for more info on problems and updates. :D

Thanks for reading. Happy Crafting!
