amazing cardgame roguelite, got nothing bad to say about it

great graphical art style but the game feels buggy and unpolished. also it shamelessly rips off every single aspect from stardew valley and innovates only on the diving feature, if you can call whacking at trash with a scythe innovative at least.
hell, even the music sounds like a direct copy of stardew's Overture or another track i cant recall the name of right now.
it copies the same tiers of qualty of products, same type of artisan products, same type of crafting machines, same type of community center like system, same type of cave mining progression... it would probably be faster to make a list of what it doesnt copy from stardew valley. like this is a lawsuit waiting to happen

crazy addicting stardew valley-like with much more content and better pixel graphics. i also love that a lot of things you do like eating food you prepared, permanently increases your stats a little with diminishing effects. that makes me way more motivated to cook all kinds of recipes. great soundtrack too.

one of, if not THE best space game steam has to offer

great game with stunning visuals and countless hours of content. after 50 hours i havent even touched the main quest yet because some of the sidequests are very entertaining like the vanguard missions.
i just wish they would optimize it more, the min-recommended system requirements are nowhere near accurate

edit: Todd said this game is optimized for PC and the response from fans has been great. so im turning this negative to let him know its not all that great... having to run the game at 720p or lower on a rtx3060 on low/med is ridiculous

edit: ok so after having played 200 hours and having played trough a lot of the mainquest which i initially ignored.. i just burned out, the main quest is so incredibly boring and so are all the companions of the lodge that i just lost interest in even completing the game. the more i played this game the more i came to dislike it

This is one of those game i didnt know i needed in my life but im happy its there now! 40 hours in and i dont think im even halfway there yet. Beautiful artwork and music with countless of cool little gameplay mechanics that slowly get introduced to you throughout the game including lots of humor make for something that could easily become my game of the year.

the devs seem great people too, they listen to everyone's feedback and are planning to patch in many quality of life features the community has been requesting!

easily one of the best games i've played this year, making me hunger for more of this type of gameplay after finishing it

fantastic game, can't say anything bad about it, its 3d factorio with many unique features only possible in a 3d world. beautiful environments and music, exploration, automation and a little bit of combat. cant wait till i can start creating some crazy factories as featured in the many inspiring trailers this game has

great puzzles and hilarious voice acting by Stephen Merchant.

fairly similar to Stardew Valley but has far, far more content and complex systems hiding under the surface. theres over 40 different things to level up that all contribute to your characters hp/stamina (rp) and other stats, a very indepth crafting system with tier bonuses depending on the total level of items you have fused together with a weapon or armor. any monster can also be tamed and used as a battle companion and aparently it will receive the stat bonus of any item you give to it daily besides growing more friendly, other creatures are better suited for their daily item production to help you with crafting again like eggs or milk.

theres a big main story quest and each character has smaller event/quests related to them, you can marry one of many characters and even have a child.

the farming system is fairly complex too with many things like soil quality or soil hp to take into consideration, at some point you can even grow swords or entire dungeons from your field.
but theres also plenty of regular dungeons to complete and areas to explore

i tried it before but never got much further than the first 3 or so days before quitting, but im happy i returned to it and now consider it one of the better games ive ever played
