In one word: pointless.

I trudged through the tedious and aggravating 'stranded in space' campaign which consists of building barely viable vehicles to push around rocks to unlock new parts so you can build bigger and better but still barely viable vehicles to push more rocks for more parts. At the end you blast off into space. Woohoo.

I got this game for the building potential, and while there is a lot of potential there, I quickly became bored because there's nothing worthwhile to do with anything you build outside of the campaign (unless you're into racing), and the campaign was dull. On top of that the selection of blocks is very limited and there's no 1x1 blocks at all. Cosmetic blocks are locked behind coins that you are barely rewarded with for repeatedly performing tedious, boring tasks.

The physics are kind of aggravating, and the blueprints the devs added generally work terribly as well. You know there's a problem when the devs can't even build vehicles that work well. If you build a car with the center of gravity off to one side the car will literally spin in a circle at a standstill.

People have uploaded some amazing builds to the workshop, but there's nothing to do with any of them.. drive/fly around in creative mode for a few minutes, get bored, call it quits. To make matters worse, you're not going to be able to actually build most of those things unless you have ALL of the DLC.

I found that the majority of the time when I closed this game out after a play session I just wasn't happy, I just wasn't enjoying it no matter how hard I tried.
