What players say
Players are split sharply on Hydroneer: some find a peaceful sandbox, but most describe it as a frustrating, tedious chore due to the lack of inventory and having to move one item at a time. The item dropping system is widely called broken, and multiple reviewers report save files being randomly wiped even after years of updates.
