Hydroneer

The reason why this game is rated as Mostly Positive is that its developer intended it to have near-broken game mechanics that are never improved or fixed even after I waited 6 years for it to be finally released. Save your money and find another game. There is nothing to see or enjoy with this one.

it is a very fun sandox and adventure game, you should try it!

For a game centered around automation and building no inventory system. One item in your hand at a time is mind boggling in a building game. The game turns more so pick up and put down simulator than anything. Don't get me started on the drop system too. Items can overlap at certain times but have hard collision boxes as well. This game could really use some quality of life changes. -10/10 really wanted to like this game and see its potential but in this day and age I really don't want to play another game that just feels like work. Wouldn't recommend this to anyone to be honest.

I really really want to recommend this game. It can be a lot of fun! But that's the thing.. it CAN be a lot of fun.. the early game is horrible. Many pointed out before that you have either a shovel to gather resources or other items to move terrain that just destroys the resource. but, get that first drill and automate your 5 stupid water filters and you essentially won. No joke, I had this automation set up, built it up until I had 5 basic drills and then accidentally left the game running while I did some other stuff, only to return and have enough money to not know what to do with. Which gets us to the 2nd issue. The lack of content, especially endgame content. There is absolutely no incentive to get any of the better items cause if you did, you would just be making this fatal ending come that much quicker. Not to mention the performance issues.. Once I had auomation set up a bit I found out that sometimes things get stuck between conveyor belt and sorter which leads to pile ups and your machines breaking. The lag I had when trying to move my thousands of gems that accumulated.. Well, let's just say calling it a slideshow would be generous and I run with a 3070 and 32gb of ram.. I should not be having those kinds of lag spikes if the game was more optimized.. it's sad to see a game with such great potential fall so flat. If there were more expensive things, or actual things to strive for, it would be much better. but in the current state, it stops making sense to play after quite a short time

No inventory so making anything is a running back and forth simulator and controls are so annoying that there is an item in the game to make it less annoying

i gotta say something about it but am too lazy its a good game.

Even after losing an 11 hour save file to bugs on my first time playing, I couldn't help coming back the next day to get back on the GRINDSET. Fun game
