Steam reviews

What players say

Reviewers from the last year are split: many enjoy the Subnautica-style survival in space, but many find the prologue too short, unclear and unfinished.

Many players say the prologue feels like Subnautica moved into space, and they enjoy the scavenging, base-building and floating exploration. Several praise the graphics, sound and movement physics, and some say it runs smoothly. Recent reviews are more divided than Steam's overall totals. Many report unclear progression with no tutorial, vague quest markers and hard-to-find early resources such as silver. Some criticise the inventory, which does not stack items, along with slow movement and short oxygen and battery times. Several find the game too similar to other survival titles, and the planned story and atmosphere are not yet present. A few mention blurry graphics or a slow start, and some worry about the early access state.

Praised

  • Subnautica-like survival feel

    Players who know Subnautica find the scavenging, base-building and floating exploration familiar and enjoyable.

    Many players
  • Graphics, sound and physics

    Players praise the visuals, environment design, sound and the way movement physics feel.

    Some players
  • Free prologue to try

    Reviewers value that the prologue is free, letting them test the systems before buying the full game.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Unclear progression, no tutorial

    Players cannot tell what to do next, how to use power cells or oxygen tanks, or where to find key resources.

    Many players
  • Silver and key resources hard to find

    Players could not find enough silver or coal to progress, which blocked them early on.

    Many players
  • Unfinished, too short prologue

    Reviewers say the prologue is too short, feels unfinished and does not show what the full game will be.

    Some players
  • No stacking, limited inventory

    Players are frustrated that items do not stack and that storage crates cannot be emptied easily, so inventory fills quickly.

    A few players
Who it suits
Players who like Subnautica-style survival and scavenging in space, and who are happy with an early access game that is still developing.
Who should skip it
Players who want a clear tutorial, a story or a finished game should skip it for now.

Short vs. long playtime: Players who stopped after under an hour mostly report confusion and missing guidance, while those who played for many hours more often praise the crafting and exploration loop.
