Any game with the core loop of "explore, collect, craft, repeat" will probably hook me pretty well, so this one definitely did. I finished a full playthrough (main goal is to survive for 28 days on a moon) in about 3 hours. I clearly enjoyed it enough to keep playing, but having finished it now, it's easy to see that it definitely has its flaws and isn't really a complete game yet. A lot of systems are very shallow, and I probably made it through all the game's core content in about 10-15 days of ingame time; the rest was just messing around and building a bigger base.
It's got a good core loop though, and it's still in early access while getting a steady pace of new content updates, so I expect this to be a really solid little indie survival title once it's ready for a full release.
