So lets get this out of the way first, The game is a buggy mess some times but so is space engineers. The game was very much not finished before development ceased and it does suffer from the weirdness that all voxel games have with terraforming. I've not played with mods but i do play it every so often just for the sake of making fun castles and junk. if there's one mod i have played with and recommend its the water mod. I wish keen would take a second shot at the concept. It's nice that the experience they got from trying to build this game helped make planets and survival as big a part of space engineers as it is now. Combat is simple but surprisingly fun.

I'm running a Rocket lake era CPu and a rtx 2070. The game plays well enough but i do have some graphics issues. that's to be expected with my setup though and apart from that the game is fairly stable. I have experienced some glitches with the controls that could maybe be explained by using a ps 4 controller which isn't properly synced to my pc's blutooth adapter. Honestly the fact the game runs this smooth at all considering how jank my pc is really does impress me

still needs a lot of work. at this point it's 50 dollars wasted. poorly optimized and the graphics settings seem to do nothing. feels like it's trying to remind me of how little there was to do in ksp beta... while still being in alpha

I do actually recommend this game unironicly. War mechanics are a bit to obscured and the AI has some teething issues. I had a game as texas where america forgot how to general. Other then that i've found it to be a solid take on paradox's Victoria franchise. It has the industry managment that i wish hoi 4 had and a combat system that (while i wish it was easier to parse what is going on) does offer a surprising amount of control and strategy potential. This game is in a far more playable state then Imperator was and even has more then enough going on for it that to have been a more complete experience then ck3 did at day one.

There's room for a great game in CONCEPT at least. One thing that will really need to be done is fixing pathing for technicians when you're switching floors. They seem to get confused by any number of things and overall ruin the crew managment part. Would also like to see a timer for "Permenant" maintenence rooms to get a rough idea of how long i can safely run that room with less staff should say 4 other rooms need repairs at once..
