One Lonely Outpost

This game looked so cute and promising.. I guess the cute part still stands, tho.. but its biggest problem is: it's so cluncky... the pacing is horrible. Game only starts moving after day 12. From day 1 to day 12, all you do is run around and mine rocks. And then, everything becomes about which event is gonna unfold the next day. Because there's nothing really else to do: you attend to your cultures and just... skip to the next day. Theres this constant feeling of being stuck. You only unlock new blueprints as events unfold, and events happen like every other day. Your farm is very non customizable: you can only build around your ship, unless you want to spend extra resources to build solar panels to power your workbenches. And you can only grow crops at predetermined locations. Even the economy is weird, since you CANT SELL anything until after day 20 (about 6+ hours into the game). And there's multiple comments on how the profit you make from farming isnt sustainable. So yeah, the early game is just a giant drag... grasping for things to happen. It has its plus sides, of course. But all the problems mentioned above overshadow a lot of the good stuff. Honestly, it doesnt make me wanna keep playing it.

This is both an easy and hard game to recommend for a variety of reasons! What I like about it is the setting! Seeing the planet you're on slowly terraform into a breathable livable world is rewarding, the use of technology to catch bug and fish is unique and fun, the ways you interact with plants and recording info is also new and refreshing. I even like the resource management with the solar panels, water pumps, sprinklers, etc. And if you are a completionist, it'll be a dream since you not only need to grow plants but actually kill them to fully fill out the dex. However, outside of that it's.... lack luster. There's a few tiny glitches here and there like doorways not working unless you walk away from them that are really negligible. You end up using Reddit or Wikis more than the in game information to learn a lot of things that, while may be explained by walls of text, are not explained in an accessible way. In fact there's a lot of things just... not hidden but kinda hidden? Or quests that start and you think you should be able to finish them but alas you have to wait an in game season or so to get the character who you have to do a quest for to unlock something that'll let you do that original quest. Character's aren't too much to write home about, but they can be fun. Just repeat dialogue a LOT. There's good and bad. But I think if you like the Sci-Fi setting, you'll like the game. However I do feel that it won't be my most played Farming Sim, even if Sci-Fi is my favorite genre.

This has been an amazingly fun game to play. I was glad to support it and have very much enjoyed interacting with the characters and learning about the world. There are still some very frustrating bugs to fix though. Very VERY regularly I will lose the ability to see tooltips when hovering over things which means I have to have a wiki open unless I want to reboot every five minutes and occasionally I will lose the ability to actually click on any decisions so anything I can't do with the arrow keys and enter is just impossible until a reboot. The game is really wonderful, it just needs some TLC and more bug squashes. I look forward to the day that is done.

Нет русского языка. Игра сама по себе пустая. Интуитивно не понятно что делать с некоторыми механиками, например как набрать воды в поливалку. В общем: ходишь; собираешь; спишь, и так по кругу

Feels like it wanted to be Stardew Valley but missed the mark. ITs a interesting game and I have had fun, but... It lacks polish. Wait until its on sale and its worth it, but... Buy Stardew Valley instead when not.
