Graphics: Ugly, invisible "walled zone" appears totally black with a sharp edge. Hard to describe with words but once you see it you know how ugly it is.
Interactions: Okay...
Beginner's Guide: "Perfect", I learned how to walk around and pick up things, ONLY.
Difficulty: With default settings? Good luck and get prepared :)
Multiplayer: Can't connect to locally started dedicated server with 127.0.0.1:16261. Connection mechanics are confusing, there's no way to have a simple direct connect function with IP, you got "steam authentication" and "can't establish P2P connection" and something alike, sometimes you can't even connect to the server that is started by using "HOST" option in-game.

Played for half an hour, stopped at level Sample & Hold.
What I expected was a guide to explain to you how to build analog circuits *from scratch*, like an analog version of Turing Complete. But it just kept giving you the fundamental blocks (like NOT / AND / VCA / S&H) that you'll never know how they were constructed, this made me very frustrated and I don't think this is what developers advertised.

Idea : ☆☆☆☆☆
Gameplay : ☆☆☆☆☆
UI/UX : ☆
In-game Guide: no star sorry.

Really, I cannot understand how a game can be made like this.
Before purchasing this, I STRONGLY recommend you to check if you can stand these interaction design:
1. Use double click or number key to switch items in hotbar. SORRY, NO MOUSE WHEEL!
--
Edit: Please! Just learn from Starbound, they have the same reft/right hand mechanism which works smoothly.
--

2. Oxygen tank can be put into diving suit ONLY when the suit is in your hotbar or is equipped. OTHERWISE YOU CAN'T OPEN THE ATTACHMENT SLOT. Same for diving mask in a container.
3. This game has a wiring mechanism. When hovering on a wire in the wiring interface, the wire will be highlighted. BUT THE WIRING INTERFACE IS FORCED ON THE CENTER OF THE SCREEN, BLOCKING YOUR SIGHT. SO THE HIGHLIGHT IS COMPLETELY USELESS.
4. The in-game tutorial is a mess, and useless. Things the tutorial does not cover includes how to accept missions/ how to complete various types of missions/ how to buy at outpost/ how to upgrade the submarine/ how to do EVERYTHING.
5. I can't connect to a dedicated server launched on my OWN computer (127.0.0.1), but following exactly the same steps, one of my friend managed to start a local dedicated server and connect by 127.0.0.1. WHY?


If only I was not playing with my best friend, I wouldn't pass the 2 hour limit and I definitely will ask for refund.
That's it.

PS: Don't tell me it's early access. A beta software should be USABLE for consumers. The developers should test this ALPHA thing by themselves before frustrating players with the horrible design.
