Steam review snapshots
While it is light on the hand holding (which I prefer) it also doesn't feel particularly grindy (which I appreciate).There are many things to do and places to explore and things to find and craft and build, with more and more…It turns out that I bought it during a very brief period when it was unstable and saving wasn't possible.Has not crashed, feels good, works well and I am definitely enjoying this space (mystery?) adventure.Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure, simulation filtered by single-player.
