The Planet Crafter Review - The Final Verdict

[@markusbrunner5706]

Ive been playing this game since it dropped in early access and I love it. It gets addicting. Its like having a planet size garden. I aslo like the progression watched it go from barren red dirt to lush and green filled with lakes and blue skies. its very satisfying.

[@Sumanitu]

Reviewer very much dropped the ball on this video. Not showing any footage of the many later terraformation levels makes the game look bland and barren. They also complained about crafting not pulling from storage containers, which is in the game with the autocrafter. Which unlocks much sooner than the teleporters that they also mentioned

[@morijin4958]

I agree because after this video the game looks pretty boring. Might still give it a shot though.

[@Selatapey]

The game is great but really lacks polish, it’s noticeable everywhere (eg: grass turns darker suddenly when you get near it, things float, etc). It also lacks some really needed mechanics like the ability to remove material whilst building, which makes base building a nightmare when it’s not perfectly flat terrain

[@ShadowRam242]

Whoa dude... what's with the 150 FOV Quake I settings.

[@DanielFrost79]

Yeah, i personally hate it...

[@jjbshank]

[@RomanGalon]

I was about to say, i dont know how people can play like that it looks like shit.

[@khoric751]

Game is a lot of fun. Will definitely come back for a play through now and again

[@LegoFortnitee]

When I save from the game, after exiting the game, either the screen turns black or I fall from a height, and nothing can be done, please help me

[@Craxin01]

Any plans to port to console? My PC sucks for gaming and I'm not looking to shell out a couple of thousand for a shiny gaming PC.

[@averageodd]

Just build one for like 600-800 bucks. Would be fine for games like this

[@jackhughman7961]

I ended up trying GEForce Now just to play this game with good quality, and it’s been great.

[@Craxin01]

@@jackhughman7961 That's the off-site gaming service you can use on other devices? Tried those, don't like the level of ping and input lag.

[@Cruzan9]

​@@averageoddI was just about to suggest the same thing.

[@domedsky]

This makes me want to play Space Engineers

[@sneakydoodle]

I can see why ppl would love this, an acquaintance has dumped hundreds of hours already, but it's just not my kinda game

[@Bronko_]

Are there no dangers or combat in the game at all? Right now i can't imagine just building along fun.

[@Warblade1977]

Played it, and loved it!

[@caiochiavegatti8732]

Still have a lot of potential

[@montywalton7108]

Subnautica in space!

[@AnimusZen]

First 90 seconds of the video is spoiler spam. Gee thanks, I guess I'll go play something else now.

[@UnfilteredMedic]

My 1st is far along and TI has slowed for now. When base building, placing a floor should/must flatten the terrain or however. NOT having items stackable is done on purpose to keep people playing. If those devs read this, if a game is good then purposefully making it a time sink won't make it good. Limited backpack spaces make sense. Upgradeable equipment, YES. I think resources should be limited to storage in a certain diameter space in one's base/habitat. Making something from resources IN storage should be a standard.

[@khoric751]

You unlock a lot of this as you go deeper into the game.

[@UnfilteredMedic]

@@khoric751 I'm currently in the Amphibian stage but can have Fish in the Aquarium via eggs. Not sure how that is meant to work.

[@Jenkins808]

Seems like a very cheap 'No Man's Sky' Ripoff...

[@souran1321]

Little more than a glorified cookie clicker. Anyone that actually likes this is insane.

[@wentoneisendon6502]

Stick with your call of duty and GTA little timmy

[@jays7761]

I was wondering why the opening was just nothing for 30 seconds... so I immediately checked the video length and yep, just over 8 minutes to get that youtube revenue pumpin. Downvoted and blocked.

[@witchdoctorteepo]

Looks extremely boring and bare bones. Idk man, Subnautica probably spoiled me.

[@zainmalik9666]

I like it more than subnatica

[@witchdoctorteepo]

@@zainmalik9666 To each their own I guess.

[@CostelloDamian]

@@zainmalik9666 Sell it to me. I am thinking of buying it but It indeed looks like iwannabesubnautica v0.5.

[@HuginMunin]

The reviewer did the game a pretty extreme disservice not showing what the game looks like with complex bases and after some terraformation, the vibe is completely different.

[@wentoneisendon6502]

​@@zainmalik9666 same. It's amazing to see your progress actually change the planet

[@Tw1sted_Torture]

i would be ashamed of this reivew

[@Cybo-Man]

Lol this looks bad. There’s other games that do this game loop much better and more fun. Try Subnautica or No Man’s Sky. This game looks so basic. I see heavy repeating textures, bland textures, a completely static arm sticking out.

[@markusbrunner5706]

Those are good but so is this game. I've played it every step of its growth and no it may not have the visuals but the gamelplay is solid and it has very living devs

[@markusbrunner5706]

BTW those aren't really like this game lol. The building in subnatica and planet crafter are similar though

[@zainmalik9666]

Planet crafter has an infinitely better gameplay loop than no man’s sky

[@O_Obsidious]

yeah im not sure why they didnt show the planet at high Terraformation.. it gets crazy! you eventually get to fuse different DNA types you find in the world and whatnot to make Bees, Butterflies, Fish, Frogs, and eventually even Mammals. the cool part imo is that there are a few secret areas on the map with truly amazing seeds/larva/eggs that pertain to the story of the planet and how it maybe USED to thrive long ago. the game is so dynamic imo with you being able to make dense golden forests out of any bit of land, and the cool part is that any insects, plants, etc that you generate at your base are generated elsewhere around the world, making it look more and more lush and detailed the more love and care you put into your world

[@dobber213]

I like alien finds in no man’s sky. But I can see this game has more options on habitats I think. Also like how you can travel from planet to planet and landing and searching in no man’s sky. How is it in this game for these?

No wonder it looks like crap its from Microsoft Windows.

A couple made it though haha

huh? its made by Miju Games. Microsft Windows is what he's playing on. PC.

⁠@@CarlPearceshhhh… some folks have never seen a real PC. They still play those app crap games on cell phones. You can give them the world at their fingertips, and they’ll never once bother to learn a damn thing about it on their own.
