Astroneer is a simple space game with low poly to enable lower end systems to run the game smoothly. The worlds are procedurally generated and for the most part, I haven't discovered a large amount of game breaking bugs. The game runs well on multiplayer, however if I could make a suggestion - include a textual progress to show us the downloading of the multiplayer world file so we're not looking at a frozen loading bar and assuming that we lost connection or something went wrong. That loading bar for multiplayer will go half way and then get stuck in position until the entire world map is downloaded.

On another aspect, the game's Official Discord server is completely full of spam, which is encouraged because people are rewarded based on how much they post to the chat rooms rather than on the contextual quality of what they're writing. Many people like myself went there looking for information on the game, and gave up and joined the trolls who are there because, basically, the discord is completely full of useless chatter. To add insult to injury, the worst spammers are allowed to continue doing this over and over, while someone who might have a minor disagreement with a moderator are banned outright on the spot. While I understand it's a private company and this gives them the right to act like this, it's unethical and farther enforces my belief that there is no ethics in business. However, I will not leave a negative review over the choice of one moderator. The game is an absolute marvel and I am looking forward to its continued development process.
