Good game, it's easy to tell that a LOT of attention to detail was put into this. It's very hard sci-fi as far as I can tell (admittedly I haven't gotten terribly far) and uses very grounded and realistic physics. It's engaging and feels rewarding to play. The gameplay loop is pretty simple (at least so far) but still feels fun. I also greatly appreciate that the devs built in native Linux support; even though Proton is rather advanced nowadays, it's still good to see devs that go out of their way to support open-source systems.

There are a few downsides, though. The tutorial is...not very helpful. It shows you the controls, yes, but it doesn't really explain much beyond "Shoot rock, hold enter to absorb mineral". Manual control can feel very finicky even if you understand the physics at play (Tip: Hold right click at all times if using manual control). It also does not feel that well optimized - while admittedly my GPU is rather mediocre (only a GTX 1660 Super), it lags a lot more than I'd expect. It's not unplayably laggy or anything, but it is noticeable.

I'll fully admit I bought it just because of the blatant furbait DLC. However, it's still enjoyable, despite the flaws. Solid 7.5/10 game. I look forward to seeing how the devs improve upon it.

EDIT: Changing my graphics card seems to have fixed lag issues. Either my card wasn't good enough for the game, or it was just nvidia being terrible about their drivers on anything besides the spyware masquerading as an OS that is windows.
