Overview

Ostranauts is a detailed simulation of owning and living aboard a spaceship, in a solar system where honest living is a slow death sentence. Set in the NEO Scavenger universe, where Earth has suffered cataclysmic collapse, the rest of the System lives on in a state of capitalistic dystopia. Players will create their captain, build or customize their starting ship from the spoils of their career history, and find ways to keep fuel in their tanks, food on their plates, and the debt collectors at bay.

Reception

The game has a lot of potential but the Quality of Life isn't there. It feels rushed putting this into 1.0 whenever you have so many core mechanics that feel super clunky. I'd recommend that the developers play one play through where they kind of wander around and do beginner salvaging for a while and take note of all the little inconveniences in the...

I want to recommend it, but I can't. The game is simply unfinished, it is an insult to a proper 1.0 version. Tons of desperately needed QoL is simply non-existent which makes the gameplay often a chore or mess. Mechanics aren't properly thought out. Especially the fire hazard at the starting stage is just... a mess still. The simulation speed will crawl...

I can't do this anymore. The game isn't finished, it's not even close. The devs added more content for 1.0, but I don't care. The base game is one of salvaging derelicts and building up your own ship, and this system BARELY WORKS. The logic involved in hauling anything you strip off a derelict is terrible. The logic for transporting items to construction...

Single-player SS13 made for/by insane people. First off, a lot of the criticisms floating around this game are 100% valid, quality of life is very much an afterthought especially once you get into automation, and a lot of systems could use a second pass or a better tutorial. Still, it's in a very playable state, and i've come to love the jank of passion...

I just wanted to leave this review because there was so many mixed reviews and that made me almost not buy this but I am quite happy that I did. This game is a ton of fun for those who enjoy a chill, deep sim type game. The ship control console and everything is so immersive. The friction most people are running into is that the game is fairly complex,...
