The gameplay of "ls" features base management, exploration, and crafting, with a unique heat management mechanic that requires players to build pipes to regulate temperature. Players can recycle materials from the environment and enemies, adding depth to resource gathering. While the game offers around 4-5 hours of engaging content focused on crafting, much of the remaining gameplay consists of free exploration with limited objectives.
- “The recycling mechanics, using blocks you find in the world or from enemies to extract materials, is interesting.”
- “Currently priced at 11€, ls offers about 4-5 hours of gameplay to get to the bottom of each crafting tree and resource to find; the rest is just free exploration without much to do.”
- “The gameplay of ls is divided into base management, exploration, and crafting.”
- “Heat management is also a mechanic: building pipes from the furnace to other parts of your base will diffuse heat, preventing freezing.”
