I've actually just recently come back to Astroneer, nice to see ya playing! Really is such a fun game. Didn't see any hoverboards or personal air generators in the footage, looks like you still have to see how good that endgame-ey stuff is. A couple QT-RTG's, jetpack, hoverboard and infinite air - whoo boy now you can go anywhere, and FAST

@PlayGames_PG Жыл бұрын

Yeah loved the hover board, I generally stop recording footage before I get to the late game as to not ruin things like that for my viewers.

@@PlayGames_PG Oh but it's such a game seller! I could totally imagine seeing video of flying down a cavern on the hoverboard being what sells me on the game. No, but totally get it and appreciate that. Cheers!

Looks interesting especially the cave exploration. Reminds me of the claustrophobic caving exploration videos on KZfaq.

I think exploring the planet crust is what made it for me, was really interesting.

I agree with the fonts, I wish they would not do that in any game. I am 45 years old and my eyes are having trouble reading on the screen when it's very small. Love the game, thanks for the review.

I think it is common with people who develop games on PC, they often sit on top of the monitor but fail to realise most people play games on a chair or soft that isn't on top of the monitor.

This seems like a Live-Service-Game/Game-as-a-Service title. Can anyone confirm if it is or not please?

@PlayGames_PG 6 ай бұрын

Not really, it's a survival / adventure type game. It is one of the best of it's kind, give it a try.

@justb_za5215 6 ай бұрын

@@PlayGames_PG It looks like it could be fun, but I'm severely allergic to the Live-Service cancer the is plaguing the gaming industry. First thing for me is to make sure that it is not, then (this is going to give my age away) I have to also make sure that you can invert the Y-axis of the mouse (yes, I am indeed that old ;-)

Reminds me too much of a poor man's No Man's Sky. Hell, even the Outer Wilds. Good review though.

@PlayGames_PG Жыл бұрын

I played over 100 hours of No Man's Sky and the two are very different when you play them. No Man's Sky was more about space travel, Astroneer is more about colonising and exploring the few planets. Really enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.

More like Subnautica in space tbh.

@EddyGeheim 6 ай бұрын

Hello is there an endgame or story to work towards in this game? Or only building and exploring

@PlayGames_PG 6 ай бұрын

There is a task driven type of progression, not so much a story in terms of classic adventure games but enough to justify what you're doing and it can be quite mysterious too.

@EddyGeheim 6 ай бұрын

@@PlayGames_PG thank you for your answer. The game looks kinda fun and i like the aesthetic but idk if i will play it because i do like games where theres at least a goal of sorts that you can feel like you finished the game at some point.

@S0n0fG0D Жыл бұрын

This game proves that a game doesn't need combat to be good. Its relaxing, it's big, looks beautiful and lots to it. Also do materials respawn or dropped materials stay there forever? Also how the fuck do you only have 15K?

@PlayGames_PG Жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching. I think with death and respawn items, when I reviewed it your backpack was there to be found, I played again the other day and I think it was only a few items from the backpack where you died. I think they just stay there but I've never gone to get some of my backpacks as they were in a hard to reach place. 15k has been hard work to achieve, I can only do my best and keep plugging away, thank you for the support.

@Abuhan47 Жыл бұрын

I love space exploration but get so bored from nms. Yet astroneer totally immerses me. Idk why. I think it’s the constant running from sentinels when I just want to explore around and discover new things. Also the base building always frustrates me in nms.

@PlayGames_PG Жыл бұрын

I agree that Astroneer captures something unique about exploration and adventure that NMS didn't. I like both games but for me this one was a better game, there was something amazing about digging down to the core of the planet and when you got there it was mind bending!

@Abuhan47 Жыл бұрын

@@PlayGames_PG yeah, the first time I played astroneer I made a tractor with a drill and rtg attached. I didn’t realize you could just fall into a giant cavern and got completely lost. I reached the core but had to let myself suffocate to get back to the surface. The whole experience was so surreal. I don’t get those moments in nms.

Astroneer is a more focused game when compared to No Man's Sky, like it feels as though you have more purpose. No Man's Sky has a larger scale but for me I'd go for Astroneer.
