"The Early Access market is absolutely flooded with survival games in this post Minecraft, post DayZ world. The genre is rife with fun-sapping activities with no rhyme or reason to do any of it. It’s a heartbreaking thing, indeed, but there are exceptions, and Astroneer is one of them."
While initially released on PC in early access in 2016, Astroneer was eventually released on the Nintendo Switch in 2022. It was a long five years looking at this base building, space flying, survival game, and knowing it would fit so well on the Switch. Was the wait to launch into space worth it?

Space base-building with some rough edges and a lot of chill.
Danny Martinez of The Koalition writes: Developed by System Era Softworks, Astroneer was originally an early access game on Steam in 2016 with its official launch in 2019. Through those years, it has developed quite a community that enjoys the game. Once I landed on my first planet, my first impression of the game was that it’s No Man’s Sky Lite.
Love the game
