They say this game is an alpha, but it has more polish to it than a lot of games when they are green lit for retail. I wouldn't give a lot of thought to any of the reviews giving this game one or two stars. The game is still in development and is an alpha and I'm not surprised that there's no tutorial yet - it should probably come after more of the game is finalized. The base building is an absolute blast and it does remind me of FTL. It also reminds me of a few other survival games, well, almost all survival games reality. but it does have something going for it that a lot of the others don't have or fail at and that's the interactions between your crew members. If you don't manage their mental health as well as their physical health you're not going to survive. I would say that as far as direction goes this game has more promise than any other game I've played in about 5 years. That doesn't mean it's the best game or that I think it's going to be the best game, it just means that at this stage in an early alpha as they say, with some of their best features still not incorporated into the game, and I'm having this much of a blast playing it, I don't think I've played another game that has left me so optimistic.
