What players say

Players are split on Starminer. Many love the ship builder and slow, solitary mining that evokes Eve Online without the PvP, but nearly as many find the controls clumsy, the pace grindy, and the automation nonexistent. Technical issues and vague objectives frustrate even supportive reviewers, who hope updates will add depth.
