Astroneer
Explore and reshape distant worlds! Astroneer is set during the 25th century Intergalactic Age of Discovery, where Astroneers explore the frontiers of outer space, risking their lives in harsh environments to unearth rare discoveries and unlock the mysteries of the universe. In this space sandbox adventure, players can work together to build custom bases above or below ground, create vehicles to explore a vast solar system, and use terrain to create anything they can imagine. A player’s creativity and ingenuity are the key to thriving on exciting planetary adventures! In Astroneer you can: Reshape the ground under your feet as though it were made of clay. In Astroneer, players use their deform tool to dig, collect, shape and build anything they wish. Use this ability to dig to the center of the planet, build a ramp into the sky, or make megaliths just by using terrain! Survive on and explore carefully crafted planets that can be entirely deformed and traversed. Our vast solar system includes 7 wondrous planets that players can travel between and explore every inch of, from the entire spherical surface, through treacherous layers of caves, all the way down to mysterious the core. Each of those planets has unique and challenging surface and cave biomes that offer a multitude of challenges for players on their journey. Snap together components and objects to build bases and vehicles.

I know on steam it shows but 92 hours played, but I have far more on a different platform. This game is phenomenal. It imposes basically no limits on how you wish to play other than basic progression, and, of course, its progression is superb. The main reason this was my 'favorite' game for the longest time was its MUSIC. Oh my god the soundtrack is transcendent, I adore it. Exploration is nice with vibrant biomes and planets. There is also a cutesie side quest with like, space snails, which are wonderful and I will kill anyone who merely alludes to an attempt to harm them. Well, enough yapping. I should sleep, it's 5 am :3

It's a really cool game that I'd recommend to anyone who likes space exploration and survival games.
Though there are a few parts late game that can be annoying and make you less motivated to keep playing but overall it's one of the best games I've ever played!
PS: It is NOT worth 30£. Wait til it's on sale if you plan on buying the game.

I've spent about 60 hours playing No Man's Sky on the Nintendo Switch, and I absolutely loved it! Astroneer feels like a "No Man's Sky Lite." My biggest gripe with the game is its lack of guidance. It doesn’t teach you how to interact with its systems, and that’s a problem. The game desperately needs a more detailed tutorial instead of the barebones one it currently offers.
I understand that Astroneer has come a long way compared to its early versions, but that’s irrelevant to me as a player today. Even with my extensive experience in this genre, I would have been completely lost without my friend, who patiently acts as my sensei, walking me through all the mechanics. And honestly, that's the saving grace for me. Playing with a friend is incredibly fun and engaging, and I genuinely enjoy the time I spend exploring and learning the game with his help.
Despite its flaws, I’m giving it a thumbs up, but only because the multiplayer experience makes it worth it. If you’ve got a friend who’s willing to guide you, this game can be a blast! :)

I started this game thinking it was a cute little exploration-focused survival-crafting space game.
The longer I played, the more amazed I was. The heart that was put into this is not something I can properly describe. As I made my bases across every planet and felt satisfied by my resource collection, I was able to get sweet moments with funny little slug creatures, I was able to theorize about the strange monuments across the solar system, and I was able to form a deep emotional connection with this game and the way it tells stories. It's just so charming and delightful, it's calming for most of the game and it's chaotic and funny when it needs to be. It really made me want to complete everything.
Even with the missions done, I feel like there's so much left to do - and also, I'd be okay to put it away. For now. It's fun. It's mysterious. It's bittersweet. And I'm afraid that I'm going to lose some of that feeling if I keep going. I probably will play some more anyway, though. My galastropods need me!
RIP Paul Pepera, the co-founder of System Era. He would be so proud of this game.
