Hydroneer

I really wanted to love this game, but the controls are terrible, and the gameplay itself just isn't intuitive. Half the time, when you try to click on a piece of ore, the game selects the object behind it instead, usually a conveyor belt or another building. It gets incredibly frustrating after a while. And the controls? Let's talk about them. - No inventory. You have to pick up every single piece of ore one by one. - No tool belt. You can't carry multiple tools or lanterns with you. Instead, you have to pick one up, put it down, and then pick up another. Sometimes it doesn't even work properly. For example, with the shovel, you might not have enough space to drop it. - Dropping items is awkward. You'd expect the item to be dropped where your cursor is, right in front of you. Instead, it's dropped on your character's shadow, off to the right. - You can't carry more than one piece of ore at a time. This ties into my first point, but why can't I pick up several pieces of ore at once and move them somewhere else? - Also, having to slowly walk around town to buy every single item, like conveyors, machines, and everything else, then load them one by one onto your tiny cart, quickly becomes tedious. It all comes back to the lack of an inventory, but being able to craft at least some of these items yourself would have been a much better design choice. As I said, I really wanted to love this game. It looks like it could be a lot of fun, but the lack of basic quality-of-life features makes it hard for me to fully enjoy it. Such a shame.
