Steam review snapshots

It's a well-made survival and base-building core featuring a non-RPG, barebones, top-down shooter, and a rather disappointing exploration.
Exploration
Granted, a little 'quest' memo here and there and some rare attempts at hiding the upgrade schematics in **** spoiler alert :)…
Deckbuilding
[b]On the other hand the the base building[/b] seemed a well-thought-out part; all the designs I unlocked, all the researched better versions…
Base Building
So engaging, so full of mystery, and fun.
