What players say

Players say Prospector is a short, cute automation game similar to Forager or Nova Lands, but it is held back by game-breaking bugs, especially an infinite respawning boss that blocks progress. The game runs about 10 hours with no post-game, and players are split on whether the simple automation is relaxing or too shallow.
