Astroneer
Sorti le 6 février 2019, Astroneer est un titre développé et édité par System Era Softworks, disponible sur PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch et Xbox One. Classé dans les genres aventure, simulation et indépendant, le jeu repose sur l'exploration d'un système solaire méconnu composé de sept corps célestes, chacun explorable de la surface jusqu'au noyau. Les Astroneers, formés à un entraînement rigoureux pour explorer les frontières de l'espace, utilisent un outil Terrain permettant de creuser, récolter, façonner, construire et colorer l'environnement à leur guise. Ils peuvent bâtir des bases personnalisées via un système modulaire intégrant automatisation, stations d'artisanat, centrales électriques, collecteurs de ressources et installations ferroviaires, tout en cherchant à percer les mystères de mondes parsemés de structures et artefacts étranges et de communications déroutantes. Jouable seul ou en coopération en ligne avec jusqu'à trois autres joueurs, Astroneer a démarré en accès anticipé en 2016 avant sa version 1.0, et le studio promet des mises à jour de contenu gratuites et régulières.
L'accueil critique est mitigé mais globalement favorable, avec un score Metacritic de 71 et un score OpenCritic de 75. The Games Machine a salué un simulateur de survie spatiale offrant une expérience riche et colorée fondée sur des mécaniques intéressantes, tandis que Shacknews a décrit une expérience généralement thérapeutique et peu stressante, tout en relevant que le jeu n'est pas parfait. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic regrettent un titre extrêmement peu intuitif qui cherche à confondre le joueur, quand d'autres parlent de « cinéma absolu » avec beaucoup de contenu et un beau design, et des avis Steam positifs évoquent un très bon jeu ou un jeu sympa avec une bonne durée de vie.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Astroneer is a survival space simulator that offers a rich and colourful experience based on some interesting game mechanics. »
« It provides an experience that is generally therapeutic and almost never stressful. It’s not a perfect game, but it’s the kind of game that could be perfect for certain situations or groups of gamers looking for their next adventure. »
« Astroneer is a limited but attractive survival game, a little colorful charm that shines in terms of crafting, vehicles, exploration and cooperative. »
« Astroneer is definitely on the soft side of the survival spectrum. It looks inviting and fun, whether your lone explorer is bounding across the colorful landscape or mining deep within underground caves. Collecting resources and crafting them into new tools is the main focus, and Astroneer falters in not having more interesting things to find within each planet. In the end though, it's a lovely little game if you want to survive without all the pesky hunger and thirst you find in other games. »
« Although there is no particular story or purpose to follow in Astroneer, a very deep gameplay along with entertaining multi-player and stunning visuals are enough to make it worth your time and money. »
« Astroneer is a nice and relaxing survival game that does away with some the typical mechanics of the genre to offer an experience that's mostly based on exploration and crafting. The basic gameplay loop is very engaging at the beginning and manages to carry the game quite far, but the complicated controls, especially on pad, and the repetition, which will eventually set in after a while, damage the experience a little. Still, Astroneer is a very solid game that no fan of the genre should pass on, especially if they love outer space settings. »
« Quotation forthcoming. »
« Astroneer is a great adventure if you play it with someone, since playing it alone makes it quite simple and repetitive. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Extremely unintuitive game that does its best to confuse you and force you to figure out everything for yourself. While it may sound intriguing, I mostly found it just annoying »
« Absolute cinema. Lots of content, beautiful design and music. Wouldn't necessarily reccomend Megatech yet, but the game is amazing nonetheless. »
« A direção de arte do jogo é muito interessante e as mecânicas são bem legais, dando uma sensação de exploração bacana, mesmo com a simplicidade. O problema é que não me pegou o suficiente pra investir muito tempo, algo que estou evitando no momento (já tenho o Fortnite e o Fallout 76 pra isso!). Acredito que o jogo brilhe mesmo no multiplayer, pois a experiência solo me parece que pode ficar bem repetitiva com o tempo. »
« I technically have more playtime as I've tried this game twice more in the past, but I really can't bring myself to enjoy this game. Everything in this game is a bit bland and repetitive. There is no sense of fulfillment in playing. According to my friend too the whole game is just going to different planets, and power up the planet core. The best part of this game to me was just the roundness of the planet (as Ive never gotten to space). But again, I'd rather just spend my time on another similar type of game as this feels like a time dump game with receptiveness at its core »
« Astroneer, tatlı grafikleri ve uzay temasıyla ilk bakışta ilgi çekiyor. Ancak oyunda yapılabilecek şeylerin sınırlı olması, 2-3 saatlik oynanıştan sonra “şimdi ne yapacağım?” hissi yaratıyor. Açık dünyada gezip keşfetmek ilk başta keyifli olsa da bir süre sonra sıkıcı hale geliyor ve oyun amacını kaybediyor. »
« Oyun gerçekten çok tatlı bir hayatta kalma oyunu. Pusula gibi yeniliklerin eklenmesiyle birlikte oyunun en can sıkıcı olayı kaybolmak aşırı kolay hale gelmiş. Artık hiçbir türlü kayıp olmuyorsunuz. Gerek grafikleri gerek oynanışı olsun muazzam bir oyun. İkincisi duyuruldu merak ile bekliyoruz. 1 puanı kırmamın nedenine gelecek olursak oyundaki bazı animasyonlar örneğin yörünge animasyonları çok vasat bu kadar fiziğin mevcut olduğu oyunda daha güzel animasyonlar beklerdim bazı fizik motorları ve craft sistemi de aşırı karmaşık hissettiriyor »
« Astroneer is a survival game with few genuine dangers mainly, you need to be cautious about running low on oxygen and a couple of hostile plants that are simple to manage. It's quite challenging to die, so the game emphasizes exploration and construction rather than survival. The game continues to receive regular updates, and a new version is coming soon, which I will certainly purchase and play. The gameplay isn't groundbreaking, but playing with friends is quite enjoyable – you can create various systems and automate tasks such as collecting resources or conducting research. It's not as intricate as Minecraft or Satisfactory regarding automation, yet it still provides an enjoyable experience and ample opportunities for creativity »
« The game itself is great, but it's just full of bugs. My friend spent a lot of time building a digging machine, only for both the machine and the character to get stuck in the planet's core. That would've been fine—I could at least dig down and rescue them. But somehow, the character glitched into outer space, leaving the vehicle stranded in the core. »
