I bought this game 3 days ago and I already have 22 hours played. I just can't stop playing. I dream that I'm floating through space and taking apart ships for crying out loud. This game has consumed my soul.

Pros:
-Extremely cathartic and relaxing gameplay
-Music and atmosphere blend perfectly (Gives Firefly vibes)
-The game is not mindless. You do need to approach the scrapping with some thought
-Despite being Early Access there are not as many bugs as I had expected
-There's also interesting pieces of lore that you find in game which pique my interest.
-the graphics of the game are pretty solid. Explosions are beautiful.

Cons:
-At the time of this writing, the game is in Early Access and the selection of ships seems to be pretty homogeneous. There is some variation but I would love to see a wider variety of ships in various shapes and layouts.
-The furnace causes a bit of lag if you try to scrap too much at a time. I've actually crashed the game by trying to smelt around 20,000 kg of aluminum frames and panels
-The audio logs are mostly voiced by two separate computer-generated voices.


All in all, I would say that this is an amazing game and I can't wait to see what the developer does because if this is Early Access and they only consider the game version to be 0.1.0 I can only imagine what the game will be whenever it's fleshed-out more.

Previously I enjoyed this game but with some of the more recent updates the game is nearly unplayable.

Below are some of my gripes:

1. Melee hitboxes are ridiculous.
- The game forces you into melee combat right off the bad which is ok for most games but here it is difficult to hit anything that isn't on level ground. I'm looking at you wall climbing skeliopods.

2. Mobs spawn way too often when mining and resource gathering.
- I understand that adding difficulty will increase the experience but it is immersion breaking when you so much as tap a banana leaf with your tursty rock and have two mobs pop up out of nowhere whereas the area was clear not even 2 minutes prior.

3. Progression is grindy and not really fun for me.
- I love tech trees. They give you something to work towards... however, when I have to smack a tree for 10-15 minutes to get the points I need to get a 3d printer something has got to give. Don't get me wrong, I might be missing something, but it takes away from the experience if you have to grind for something you don't even need just to get the points required to stop yourself from dieing.

4. Why the hell did the pistol get nerfed? Why don't Engineer and Scientist spawn with one?
- The pistol was perfect before. Unlimited ammo and a painfully slow recharge between shots. Now that it requires ammo (which requires a boatload of science) and a 3d printer (also requires a lot of science). With the state of melee combat as it is, janky as hell, a pistol is pretty much required. Ammo is ok, but having it locked behind so much research is a bad choice at this time.

5. Why am I constantly stubbing my toes?
- When navigating up and down the many hills in this game I seem to stub my toe often which causes me to freeze in place for a couple of seconds. When trying to chase down a mob THAT YOU CANNOT HIT or, more often, running away, having to stop to contemplate your navel really gets bothersome.

I have more gripes about the game but these 5 are the major issues I have with the game.

In closing, in it's current state I don't believe I'd pay full price for it. Does it have the content to cover the full price? Yes.However, the gameplay issues and design choices far overshadow the current available content.

While I enjoy the story of this game I cannot overlook the constant crashes and bugs that abound in this poorly ported title, especially given the $25 USD price tag.

My game freezes about 5-10% of the time when checking side quests.
Random freezing during loading screens.
Performance issues on a beefy rig when running windowed.
Unable to interact with required doors/objects during certian missions.
Issues while driving that cause my tires to sink into the road bringing my car to a sudden stop.

Also, this game is locked to 720p which can be fixed with the dpfix mod but installing that brought about an issue where the game freezes when I tab out.

If my friend did not want to watch me stream this game I would have already deleted it within the first hour of gameplay.

TL;DR : Great story, amusing characters in this Twin Peaks inspired game but bugs and crashes make the game nearly unplayable. Not worth the price. 3/10
