How it feels

You carefully manage a dilapidated spaceship and a dysfunctional crew while scraping by in a harsh, unforgiving solar system.

What players say

Players are torn on Ostranauts, many love the concept and potential but feel the game is unfinished and broken, with the developer prioritizing roadmap features over polish. The inventory system is widely criticized as a nightmare, NPCs often die from basic issues, and despite deep systems, many mechanics feel half-baked.
