Despite these issues, the developers are responsive, and the game shows potential for improvement in future updates.

    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is criticized for its poorly designed and bugged quests, particularly during the tutorial missions that keep players grounded on Earth without a clear progression to space. While some players found enjoyment in completing basic missions, the overall experience is marred by technical issues and confusion regarding mission objectives and leveling up.

    • “(Second time around I saw it and that's where I got the mission to go to Mars).”
    • “Horrible and bugged quests (missions).”
    • “I started to play this game and put only a couple of hours into it playing the lagoon training missions.”
    • “Never made it off Earth (1st tutorial mission).”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the depth and thoughtfulness in the crafting system, but many find the grinding process tedious and frustrating, particularly when trying to build items. The complexity of the blueprints adds to the challenge, leading to a mix of admiration and annoyance.

    • “It is good that this much thought has gone into the crafting of items, but it gets tedious when trying to build something.”
    • “Again, thanks that I endured my grinding of teeth, but the print and pick up blueprint was mind-boggling.”
  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users highlight that the game offers a dynamic experience with endless possibilities, particularly in multiplayer mode, which can evoke strong emotions. However, some elements are considered pointless, and the interface may also contribute to the emotional experience.
