    "IT'S LIKE TERRARIA, BUT IN SPACE!!!" No, it's really not like Terraria, and it's not just because it's set in space. I've got 1k+ hours in Terraria, and I don't wanna bore you to death with comparisons, so just take my word for it, okay? If you're looking for some chill, methodical exploration with a thick-ass atmosphere, you're gonna love this.

    Genuinely I think the only way to fully enjoy this game is to download a ludicrous amount of mods that add entirely new mechanics that this game sort of half-botched or never even thought to add. The vanilla experience is incredibly slow, tedious, and frankly lacking of clear content and direction and is a hodgepodge of various ideas that never were fleshed out past planning stage. I could only ever honestly…
