There is so much more gameplay than what's in the screenshots!

At first I thought this was a basic Terraria clone, but Planet Centauri avoids slowing down progression with annoyances (inventory limit, hidden recipes, equipment-dependent progression, linearity) so that the gameplay can take you so much further. You can tackle bosses & dungeons in any order, completely neglect parts of the tech tree, explore or not, etc. There's just a lot to do, all the time. I've played 20 hours now, but it feels like 20 hours of continuous progress.

Some reviews complain about bugs, but I've only seen 1 minor one: sometimes my selected toolbar item randomly swaps with another item in my inventory. No item is lost, it's just momentarily confusing. Has happened ~5 times in 20 hours and has been very easy to recover from. This game is not ruined by bugs as other reviews would imply.

I'm stopping now, not because I want to, but because I need to get back to IRL. It has been a lot of fun and I really wish I could keep playing and see what's next. There's still so much game I've yet to play.

This game is epic

Has very interesting exploration, art, monsters, and items but it's way too hard I can't get past the first biomes and every weapon feels weak. Armour doesn't get better with rarer materials you're just trading serious weaknesses for new ones. Ridiculously expensive to barely make your weapons any better. No defence beyond upgrading your health pool which isn't helpful when regenerating health is very difficult and you will be killed in seconds against enemies the world seems to consider as basic. The game also does a very poor job of teaching you the mechanics or what items are used for.
