Eden Crafters is a solo or co-op open-world survival, crafting, and factory-building game where you transform a hostile planet into a habitable haven for humanity. Build, automate, and terraform. Control the climate, create a breathable atmosphere, and turn toxic lakes into water: shape a new world!
The game loop is basically as follows:
- Explore the planet on foot, by car, ship or spacecraft.
- Gather resources.
- Build the next tool that enables you to gather more or different resources and put it to use.
- Sometimes: Build a special device to advance to the next stage of terraforming the current planet.
Repeat.

I really enjoyed this game. Is it janky, oh yes. But that does not hinder the playability, and like I have seen others say, is kind of charming. If you want to make a beautifully built factory, this is not the game for you.
To address the other thing that people hate about this game, yes it is a Satisfactory + Planet Crafter mash up, but the one thing...
This is a neutral review. It's neither positive, nor negative.
Although I loved the demo, I find the main game just... tediously grindy :
