The Planet Crafter

My first review! This game just keeps getting better and better. It had everything that I wanted that I felt was lacking in No Man's Sky, and the game constantly unlocks bigger and better things so you never feel stuck. It make you feel like a logistics and terraforming master, and man, I cannot tell you how it felt when I played this blind and unlocked some of these top tier systems for the first time, I thought this was just another survival base building game like Subnautica. Completely blew me out of the water, the demo doesn't do it justice. The world is hand crafted and I can feel the love and beauty poured into each area, instead of being forced to hop between dozens of barren boring one-note procedurally generated planets looking for a single ore. So many mechanics like [spoiler] teleporters [/spoiler], [spoiler] supply drones [/spoiler], [spoiler] auto crafters [/spoiler], and [spoiler] portal generators to take you to random faraway wrecks for loot [/spoiler]...literally every single mechanic that I was yearning for or popped into my head while playing blind, they were one step ahead and actually implemented it. I love how most of the resources I thought were rare end up becoming so cheap later on you can just spam building and feel overpowered lol. There are some nit picks like UI selection could be made a bit easier and such but it pales in comparison to this absolutely stellar experience. And the automation is absolute chef's kiss, it's what truly made me stay while I quit No Man's Sky after grinding cooking and money like a madman for hours. It is done extremely well and it's the first time I've thoroughly enjoyed automation/afk game, nothing felt like grinding only pure fun, my previous experience with automation were far inferior like mobile cookie clicker games or some crap. This game opened up a whole new genre for me!
