Horribly unbalanced to the point of being unplayable in the beginning, but once you get past that it becomes enjoyable. You get three duct tapes at the start (sometimes two) and you use one to repair your suit first thing. So, you've got one or two more.

Literally everything breaches your suit:
Monsters (who you can't fight anyway, not in the beginning)
The wind (seriously)
The plants (again, seriously)
Looking the wrong way
Not looking the wrong way
etc

... and you can't make more duct tape until way later in the game. I managed to survive on my fourth or fifth attempt because I got lucking and found a crate with a bunch of duct tape in it right at the start of the game. Beyond getting really lucky like that, your only hope is to turn the chance of suit breaches down.

That's easy to do because you can customize a whole load of settings. I found this really awesome and hope this stays in the game even after the development is done. This allows you to customize the game to suit your tastes. For instance, I really don't like those survival games where the day and night cycle happens so fast you can't get all the way out of bed before you have to get back in again. In this one you can customize how long the day lasts (to some degree) or turn off nights all together. Night doesn't offer any additional challenge in this game, no zombies coming out or anything, it's just a long period of time where you can't see what your doing ... so turn it off I say.

Anyway, I enjoyed this, and got my money's worth out of it.

so far i love the game i felt like i needed to comment something positive after reading other negative comments but the truth is its not a perfect game and it never will be you can look and play any game in this world and even if its beautiful and bug free it still will be imperfect and thats not a bad thing there are hundreds of hours being put into this project and let me tell you its a blast i can wait for the next update to come out and ive not even left the planets surface yet people need to under stand that a game cant be rushed otherwise it will be like dead space 3 where even though it was a fantastic game it still had issues and never reached its full potential and EA dissolved the company soon after. my point is you dont need to rush the game development and people just need to give the company a reasonable amount of time to finish the game even though its been 6 years that just means i have somthing to look forward to. anyway the game is amazing for being in early access and i cant wait to play the new update.

Absolutely its a thumbs up!
This game is a Survival game. So for those complaining about giant crabs, really? Not now or ever have i had an issue getting away from any creature. There are settings to adjust every single feature essentially letting you turn it into a creative sandbox if you wish. So cant complain about balance. The fact that you find derelict bases/vehicles and scrap them or make them your own is pretty cool. Ever since Fenix Fire bought all rights to the game its taken off IMO. After all, most developers of games develop games from their own vision not the players vision. Do lots of research before buying games might save you time and money. Plenty of content creators out there to get an idea of most games. This game however IMO is worth the money for sure. (keyword IMO) for those that don't know (In my opinion)and that is all that is. Everyone has their own idea of value. I don't recall running into any game breaking bugs. As a matter of fact i might even play again since 1.0 is coming in 2 stages. and so what if it changes. I haven't even been to space yet except for back in the day when mining asteroids was all there was. Unless you are the type of person who plays 12-18 hours 7 days a week this game has many many hours of game play to where one could say .50 worth/hr and i have x amount of hours. is 35 bucks worth 700+ hours? To me it is and then some.

Still in development but it has a good solid base and is constantly expanding. Pick this one up for good crafting and survival with a pretty epic scope!

A pretty good survival game. You are on an alien planet and you have to find materials to craft items to survive. Not real difficult in the beginning, but you have to think, scavenge and travel about to find what you need.

This game has come a long way, and still pushing more and more updates. It feels like the devs actually like what they are creating here. Im very excited to see this game at completion.
A good sci-fi survival / craft / build game where you craft your own tools, build your own bases and vehicles. You start on an alien planet, and eventually make your way to space!

A game with great potential that I personally enjoy, mostly. However, the game is still half baked. It has serious performance issues and is in need of optimization. Frame rates routinely dropped to between 15 and 20. In 3rd person, it's worse. I run a GeForce RTX 3080, 8GB GDDR6 vRAM, i7-10875H 8 cores/16 Threads, with 32 GB RAM on a 2TB SSD and nothing else running (for clarity's sake). It's not my computer...

Based on what I've read and found online, it looks like this game has fallen into production hell and will not ever be truly finished, but they leave it in "EA" to provide a cushion for expectations and get you to buy the game at full price. It is not worth the full price which is why I do not recommend the game. I bought it on sale for like, $10 I think. And I also think that's about what this game is worth, IF you can handle frame rate drops. In it's defence, turning down the graphics helped, but the looking pretty is literally part of what got me to buy the game. Turning down the graphics definitely fed into my thumbs down.

Good game, but third person is a little buggy and is quite annoying running around the map early game looking for resources. Other than that it has great base building, space tech and crafting/survival mechanichs

Delle(DK)

I think its a nice but hard game.
You land on a planet and then have to salvage things and find resources to build crafting stations, base and machines
that can help you to survive.
You can also get into space and other planets but i did not try that yet.
I found it a bit hard to survive since the enemys are rather tough and i also wasted quite allot of materials on tings
that did not work correctly in the game due to it being in early access.
But its a beautifull and interesting game, and there is caves and secrets here and there to be found.
All in all the game have potential but also quite allot of bugs.
I can recommend the game but maybe wait until it leaves early access.

Actually one of the worse games I have ever played on Steam. It took 10 hours to find the massive bugs in it, can't even get a refund because of it. This game should be removed from Steam.

Newest experimental branch.

Game has gotten completely ruined after last update, custom game is gone which allowed players to remove some of the annoying things this game has. Last update put the otherwise good work they had done so far so completely behind, its like development went backwards

I'm done with this game. I've owned it almost since it first came out. It used to be quite captivating, and with much promise. Where has it gotten the game, 6 years later?

Still buggy, dropping frames non-stop. No story. Horrible combat, horrible monster animations. Bunches of pointless items you will never craft because the furnace is all you need to stay fed and watered. And if you die? IT MEANS NOTHING. You spawn back at your base with all of your stuff. It's almost like a built-in fast travel system. I played on a normal difficulty so maybe you lose your stuff on harder difficulties, but that would just make it worse tbh.

Compounded by the horrible back and forth of developer drama, I don't care that they're releasing a 1.0 . Why ? Because there's so much game missing for this to count it as a game, that I don't see how they're going to get it to where it needs to be in such a short amount of time.

Long story short, this game is a waste of time, don't bother. Get Subnautica. Or Empyrion. Or some other game that actually has story and mechanics that matter, and combat that sort of works on some level.

I purchased this game a long time ago when it first came out because it looked promising and the idea of being in space and the unpredictability of how space really is intrigued me. But the issue is the game doesn't even go anywhere, I start a new game, select the character and the attributes, launch the game and then it freezes or crashes. Whether it's on high settings or low, I cannot get past this point as shown in the picture below before it crashes or freezes.

Early access for six years and the game still feels about only a 1/3rd finished. It has a lot of potential, but it is definitely only worth it if on a big discount for a steam sale.

If you want space adventure/survival, just play No Mans Sky; at least the devs update that game properly and in a timely manner

This game is 7/10 only because I believe in it;s potential. This is the most grittiest space survival game I played. I love the perks and progression system and the amount of things you can unlock. The world itself look cool and has a few memorable things in it, but it does need work in that department. They have kind of a teaser story going on and I hope they continue it and make it more interesting, and a boss fight that was exciting to find. Overall, I'm gonna wait for this game to be fully finished or close to it so I can have the full experience.

At first, I struggled with this game for a long time. It's a game meant for hardcore survival game fans. If you are the average player, this game is NOT recommended. That being said, if you love space exploration games, base making, fighting monsters and so on, this is the number 1 survival game for you. I love every moment I'm playing and would recommend this to any fans of survival games in a heartbeat.

The game is great as an open world sand box. I think the crafting side of thing need a bit more of a balance/or maybe more broken screen/circuit boards in game to find and broken wire

Run low on money so you decide to put a half-assed update to get more poor schmucks to buy the game? Redemption can only be achieved through diligence and genuine effort. Put out a few more meaningful updates inside a year and ill change my review. Until then its very empty- hollow world - need more back story

I'm really really enjoying this game so far. There's a few minor graphical bugs that I've experienced, but that's about it. The world is beautifully detailed and the combat is far more engaging than what is found in no mans sky. I really enjoy exploring the planet and gathering resources. I'm looking forward to building a solid base and then traveling into the stars.

Played this to see what it is like since I play a lot of other survival games as well as space games. The game seems to currently have a very fast progression rate which is probably because it is early access. Which means after about 2 days worth of game time you will probably feel like you have done most of what the game has to do.

The graphics are good, not great. Sound is ok but they really need to get some sound balancing done. Spaceship engines are super loud compared to other sounds, so is the multi-tool.

The only reason I'm going to give this a No on recommendation is because I noticed the game release date on steam is Sept. 28, 2016. Which means it has been in early access for almost 5 years 11 months as of this review and yet their is only about 48 hours worth of content and a ton of stuff incomplete. However, the game does show updates almost every 1-2 months and current, so my best guess is a very small design team that might be taking on something to big for them maybe.

Some things I didn't understand were things like suit temps. I really hope that was external suit temps, because at 99.9C if that is the internal suit temp then your character should be cooked like dinner and the characters blood would boil which is what I experienced on the planet you build a planetary ship / station for (which they still need to finish doing a lot of programming for).

I'll probably come back to this game in a year or so to check progress. But for now I would either suggest people wait unless they just want to support a game that I'm not 100% convinced will be completed because I'm not sure how a company can sustain development for so long.

Brutality for survival. Once overcame the rewards of achievement are there. Harsh starts, but resources do pay out in the end. From what I know, the support was abandoned, but I'm seeing new updates. If you're here for end-game, as far as I knows it's being ghost-ridden. Glad I bought it, had some good survival encounters w/ pick-up friends & for that I can say there's elements in the game that are rewarding. We've all asked for more, and the devs had an update. . . where that will go; i don't know.

This is the space game I wanted. I have tried No mans Sky, Elite, Empyrion and several others. Here is what sets this apart for me:
-Good graphics - none cartoon
-Fluid movement - 3rd or 1st person
-Nice music and effects (didn't notice the volume issues others reported).
-Creepy underground experience. Where I "NOPE"'ed a few times and ran out of there.
-Good exploration though this could be better with more to explore
-Salvaging of things is hit of miss - some you can, some you cannot. Seems silly.
-Quite hard fights at the beginning. If something is bigger than you - run! (Speed + Stamina FTW)
-Nice skill and progression
-Good solid crafting and construction
-Scanning mechanics is good.
-Robots + vehicles!
-saw a ghost?!

Improvements needed:
-Melee - as others have said it is clunky and all enemies move the same weird crab like way and sometimes zoom around too fast. But it is manageable.
-Caves need to be more varied
-Dead astronauts should have loot (guns or ammo at least).
-More above ground variety and structure

I have not made it off the first planet yet so I cannot comment on space travel etc..

For early access this game is amazing. Only bug I found was getting stuck under building while hiding from giant spiders.

The game has gotten better and better with every update that has come our recently.

If you like a survival horror game with a good deal of resource management. This might be just the game for you.

Also if you wanna get terrified by a spider like monster in the pitch black darkness of night, while you are trying to figure out how to get a slightly better tool, then the game certainly is for you

This game has been around for a good chunk of time.

Like 2016 chunk of time.

Nearly 6 years, which is around when I got it and while I do see that there has been some updates and clear progress after jumping back in from sheer curiosity, you have to look really hard to see that progress. It's almost nearly identical in terms of game-play, visuals, the experience as a whole from when I first came across it. Animations are still rough, resource allocation in terms of the system you run it on is AWFUL when things get busy, falling 3 feet still seems to nuke your knees for whatever reason, the catwalks in the mines have no collision model (aside from the rails attached to it..), models in general are a hit or miss (literally, you can walk through the wings of the Condor)..there's not much to see.

I think I saw some space station build stuff though? I might dabble in that after I let my system, which should NOT be having this much of an issue, have a break. If memory serves, I'm pretty sure there's even another planet too I remember eventually getting to but the experience on that planet was basically more of the same.

There's some new things but I hope they focus more on the technical side of the game before they add too much more. The collision model thing is more of an issue than just it making the visual experience bad, it can get you killed EASILY in game without even really trying. I saw a possible good game when I first found it and I see a good game in the future even now after picking it up again. I'll probably keep an eye on it.

In their video, they have the Airlocks facing forward with the forward doors removed and covered with a glass canopy....I'd really like to know HOW they did that as I've spend hours trying to get them to face forward like they have it. Also, I've noticed graphical glitches and FPS slow downs when my station was completed....oh yes, won't forget to mention that fact that I was flying the shuttle, hit a floating rock and it flipped upside down and went through the world. Ended up using Task Manager to kill the game as nothing i did ever fixed that problem.

I would recommend this game at the start because it was challenging and the scenery looked awesome when run on my new PC build, but been having problem with game play as I progressed further into it. Still hopeful that somethings can be fix and ironed out.

were do i begin you read reviews and watch vids and the game seems ok for being developed. Wow you can build a space station so you sink hours building it when its done it don't work. Well what did i do wrong and you find the dev stoped it from working and the planet you made it to go too is out of game.So ok lets go to the test server and see whats going on and you find a mess your tools break in 5 hits you run out of oxygen and die if you run or gather thing in about 7min. i know the game is to be hard but come on. So i go on and build a habitat and a sand storm hits even with rock walls you lose your containers and half your habitat so you spend 50% of your time dieing and repairing you stuff good fun lol. After 6 years people i talk to say the game has went backwards the last year alot so i will uninstall for a year and see if it gets better. save your 35 bucks and move on people

I'm sad to say that this game has become even closer to NMS than ever. Not only that, but the entire game is simply less rewarding and it can't reach the technical capability of the Hello Games team. It's not TERRIBLE, but it's incredibly buggy and grueling. I wouldn't recommend this game to anybody and, considering it's coming out of early access soon, I doubt I will ever be able to recommend this game. It's awkward, ugly, repetitive, boring, unsatisfying, and now it isn't promising at all anymore. All I have to say is this game was pretty fun for a high schooler in early-mid 2017 for about 6 hours, and that's a really low bar... and it only seem to have gotten much worse since then.

The first time I played this game and 2020. Then I finished playing because I finished all missions and all the research just for 43 hours. Now I decided to look at the changes that they made to the game and what I saw just upset me. The whole landscape has changed not to the bad side but to the worse side. For 9 hours that I played now it seems to me that I just lost time. I'm just stuck on a simple task to make a chisel because I need pipes but I haven't found how and what they are made from. I went to explore the world then and after 30 seconds, two huge crabs appeared in front of me and I with a damn knife, how do you think it ended. Well, how can I miss these flying rocks from Avatar or Shai Hulud from Dune where or how without them. They have removed many objects, but the map still shows the silhouette of the already non-existent plant. But made me stop playing this time another thing and you can't even imagine. I cooked meat when normal food ran out and took it with me on the next raid. I was on the other side of the map when the hunger began and ate this meat 6 pieces did not have enough to half correct the situation but there was another problem with thirst and I came back to base and discovered that the storage where was water had just disappeared. I know Russian and decided to check the translation, well, in general I thought I knew it and when I showed it to my friend who knows Russian better than me, he just rode on the floor with laughter, most of the words have nothing to do with Russian

So let's summarize their two-year work:
1. landscape made worse
2. with missions full mess
3. large predators are generated at the beginning of the game and chase the player without the opportunity to escape from them
4. buildings disappear

if I forgot something, you can add in the comments
I'm done with it.......

Sci-Fi survival as it should be. A perfect balance of difficulty, reward, ambience and immersion. But the most impressive thing about this game is: they've achieved it with a fraction of the game data volume of what the modern, usual game, tackling the same toppic usually would have. Please continue developing this game, people.

Osiris: New Dawn is a dope game, highly recommended if you love space survival games.
However, the Controller support is a bit annoying. Would be nice to have full Controller support
When I open the menus, always needing to use the mouse to navigate is a bit of a hassle.

This game could also benefit from having more character customization options.
Such as, Face Models (with an Opening Helmet Visor.) Different Suit Designs and Skins.
I'm sure there is plenty of more ideas within the community that could help keep the growth
of this game a journey worth being a part of. I'd even happily spend money on additional DLC
to help the development team and support the game and the future growth of it.

Can't wait to see what the Dev's have planned for this game, I find it to be very enjoyable
after a long day at work. my only issue is the controller support and that is minor.

First off this game was really fun in it's early stages of development.

Latest update has caused so much trouble with the game that it's not playable for me.

1: Other players bases are glitched into my location on (SINGLE-PLAYER) Mode
2: Graphics have become disoriented
3. Lags like a mother even with a really high rig
4. You can delete and steal resources and bases of other players in Single player

I would stay away until the game addresses these issues. it's a good game just needs to be polished better

Good game, even with the bugs its still enjoyable.

Space flight is my least favourite part, when leaving a planet the altitude for "Press Space to Leave" should be higher - and show the prompt earlier - atm my space ship just goes idle it just ruins the vibe as its not like leaving a planet at all. Then when you actually get to space all your problems start. The map system is either doesn't work in space or the tutorial isn't clear enough explaining it.

I think there should be some kinda visual barrier too - in space I mean!!!

This game is awesome. It has a lot of good things going for it. Where else can you build and ride a giant mechanized crab? I also like how there are bases and vehicles scattered around the map you can repair and use, or scavenge.

There are some early access bugs, but I've been reporting them to the developer in the pause menu and none of them seem to be game breaking. There is a lack of direction other than what to craft, which might turn off some people, but I'm ok with it. I couldn't figure out how to craft wires from raw materials for the longest time, but you can scavenge them from the bases and vehicles I mentioned earlier. The map doesn't seem to change when you start a new game, but maybe that will be in a future update.

Graphics are pretty good. The crafting system is robust for early access and there are many types of ores. I'm about 20 hours in and I haven't left the starting planet yet. There are a bunch of space ship modules to build so I can't wait to explore space, but I'm still having fun cruising around the surface on my buggy. The music is grandiose, but I haven't listened to it closely enough to say whether or not it's repetitive. I haven't tried multiplayer, but it sounds cool.

Bought this game years ago on early access when I saw potential for a decent game eventually. It has not gotten better at all. actually seems like they took out more than they put in. There is no proper direction and more bugs than game. Adding more locations would be a good thing, if you already made the starting one interesting. I would rather have an isolated location that had an actual driving point. There is nothing, I repeat, nothing special about most of the world. Its just someone hitting the "randomize" button over and over. Don't waste your money. Just wait for a new game from a more competent company. This is a poor sham and a shame. I apparently have hundreds of hours in this game. I'm sure most of that was starting new worlds and playing multiplayer years ago. I have no memory of anything significant happening in those hours that does not happen in the first hour.

The Developers response of my review:

"We take offense to this review. Everything written here is incorrect. How is this not blatant defamation? And knocking us because "we're still in EA" - If you took a minute to read through the build notes you'd see that we've lovingly added 1000's of hours of development time, features, content and improvements to the game. EA is not a race, when it's done it's done, and costs you nothing. We simply ask you try what we've created and listen to your responses across our platforms to improve the project and make it the best it can be."

shows just me exactly why it deserves a negative review. This game came out in 2016, still in very early access, and my comment is the issue. Well done.

even for an early access game this thing is a disaster. There are so many glitches, multiplayer and single player are literally the exact same thing, and development has been so slow. I played this game a year or two ago and all they did was add broken space travel and vehicles

Just a colourful cash grab. youll drop this game after several hours of gameplay. better off switching to something that is similar and has more content like "satisfactory".

In good faith, I could not suggest you buy this game. Its very empty bare bones and...well boring. Granted I only have 2 hours but in that 2 hours I engaged in combat and crafting. The AI, or lack of, are buggy and very poorly animated. The crafting/looting is well very dated. I have yet to find any humanoid AI or items to loot off bodies outside of crafting materials. NO one....I mean NO ONE is playing this game on multiplayer. The Redditforum is a good place to check. This COULD of been a cool game but the planet is lifeless and really boring.

TheLudicSelf

This game has heart, and an obviously passionate dev team, so I really respect Osiris, but I don't think it hits the mark, and I have serious doubts it ever will, it feels like the foundation itself isn't there.

Osiris has all the right things in the right places: mining, exploration, fantastic ambiance, beautiful vistas, and base building but unlike many other survival game there's little to do; sure resources need to be found, collected, and used to build bigger and better stuff but there's no real way to express yourself, no real "projects". That might be okay if there was a compelling story, but so far in EA it's a very, very empty universe. There's some creepy bugs and... that's literally all I saw in 30 hours and two planets. It's a shame too, because the abandoned sites and mines and whatnot are genuinely compelling, but it's so much set dressing for more swinging chisels at chunks of shiny rock.

Aside from that the other aspects of EA raise their heads: The progression system is wildly out of wack and mostly inconsequential, lots of scripting bugs and from what I hear Multiplayer is still quite a mess, but I never tried and stopped checking the multiplayer servers since I never once saw anyone else on.

Honestly, this is just a (arguably) prettier but far less robust version of Empyrion, and I can't deny I just kept thinking I should go play it instead. Maybe the devs will turn it around, and I might check back in a couple years, but as it stands there's not enough to recommend here.

I love this game, and it has a ton of potential if the devs stick with it. It's got a unique atmosphere that blends science, fear, wonder, and exploration across some beautiful worlds and a motivating build tree. It certainly doesn't hold your hand too much, but the satisfaction of getting the walls on your first hab after surviving terrifying nights in the exposed environment or finally creating a pistol to even the odds against maurading creatures is deeply satisfying.

Do play: you love survival, space, science, and like figuring things out yourself
Don't play if: you're looking for polish, big multiplayer, or traditional 'kill and skill' xp trees

It's in EA and seems to have been revived by a passionate group of devs after a long pause (first bought it years ago), and there are still plenty of rough edges. To go the distance the game needs a more compelling progression pathway, either in the form of a storyline, or a progressive series of challenges unlocked by better gear such as "boss" fights (Valheim style) or increasingly challenging biomes (Subnautica style -- my personal preference). Likewise plenty of bugs and edges to smooth other.

However regardless it's a rare gem in the survival category and a beautiful game that has a ton of promise. I'll be revisiting often!

Personally, from the first time I played it's come a long way. Some graphic issues and stuff like that but for still being in early access it makes sense. Great gameplay and GOD I JUST LOVE IT!!! I've been craving an open world gameplay that's also survival and stuff. You can choose first or third person so don't worry.

This game has added nanny state style building restrictions (It is not safe to build at this altitude) (12 feet is unsafe?) that try to protect me from my own fun on SINGLEPLAYER! This developer will not attract players with unfounded restriction to protect you from yourself?

This game has came a LONGGGG way since it first came out. While there is still literally tons of potential for this game to grow and become better, it is honestly pretty good where it is at right now. And the developers show no sign of slowing down, at all. One thing that definitely needs some work though, is the multiplayer, but other than that, great job so far guys, keep it up.

This game is great so fun to play by yourself and with friends, but there are a LOT of bugs that need to be patched and if those are patched I think it could be amazing.

I love this game and am excited to see what they do with it. I understand it has been in early access for a long time with different companies producing it.

Highlights: The first planet has 2 maps, we can travel to outer space to mine asteroids, build a space station, and visit a couple other planets/moons. There is defiantly a lot to do in the game and a ton to explore. Different tools yield different results from items. A tree can offer fruit, bark or tree sap depending on the tools used to harvest it. Also, if you enjoy multiplayer, a good amount has recently been added to benefit that. Extra seating in the space ship and rovers with mounted guns to make use of extra riders. Finally, they have a large variety of difficulties, including creative if you are just interested in building massive bases and exploring different worlds.

Concerns: when playing a single player game, once I went into space I got bumped to a public server. When I returned home, my base had been raided. If I had wanted to play on a public server I would have started a game on said server. I chose single player for a reason. I am not sure if this was just a bug but it was a bit frustrating. I later started a new char on a private server and have not had the problem occur since.

Possible update: I would love to see more with the custom building. At the moment, building a custom base is pointless because many of our building items (like the fabricator and kitchen) have to be built in a habitat. It would be nice if we could have the ability to build a compactly custom base with all the trimmings inside without having to attach a habitat, barracks and bio-dome.

Additionally, there is no real story line. There was one or the beginning of one in the past but it seems to have been sidelined for the time being. While I do enjoy a good sandbox survival, there is a lot of possibility to learn more about the expedition, the crash and what happened to abandoned habitats.

Long, Long Time ago. This game came out in early access when Green-light was still kinda new, when it first started it was rough, strange and possibly the longest running Early-Access game I have to this day.

Is it still alittle rough? Yeah there's some spots here and there, some "Tree's" float (small bushes nothing big, easily forgettable stuff) the game has gone through alot of major direction changes and it was noticeable when it was growing up.

Its an alright survival game, the horror elements are pretty good, the resource gathering is simple (bash rock into other rock get ore)

Its downside is the multiplayer atm, I'm not sure if the servers are slow to refresh, or if its something else but sadly there just isnt alot of people playing (servers seem empty) if your looking to play this with friends, its a good game for recording or streaming or just a dedicated group run. As it is now you probably wont find randoms to join.

There are serious game breaking bugs, and combat is VERY janky. Loosing your entire inventory in a survival crafting game due to a bug in crafting is obviously one of the worst bugs you could have in a survival crafting game. Not being able to attack enemy players or npcs in a survival open world game is very bad. Game has been out some 5 years, they've added some very good aspects to the game, but the bad aspects are game breaking. Maps are well polished, graphical issues from map design are at a minimum. Has very bad framerate hits in spots (I was getting 20fps looking in one direction while 60+ looking everywhere else. Snow biome was unplayable) Early game is too slow. Guns and gunplay are worthless; I would recommend upping damage and adding low tech long range weapons. Vehicles are great, but its a pity that they unlock so far down the line that most players just wont get to the point of using them before they quit. Spent a whole day grinding from start to finish and I just unlocked vehicles. The game looks very ambitious and I look forward to seeing if it gets better.

very cool crafting/exploration game, i suggest playing on easy to get the hang of it all first, as it can be too much to deal with with all the suit/health upkeep for the realism effect of the game. it's a time sucker game tho, it takes a while to gather/find stuff to craft, so its very addictive. cool graphics, cool concept....love exploring the unknown......says it a early release game, but as to my knowledge its been available for a while now, and they are still working on it.....slowly i guess.......but i do think you should check it out, get it on sale!!!

Invisible_person
Invisible_person

For an early access game it's quite well put together from what i've seen thus far, when hiding or running from a giant rock crab/spider monster the adrenaline certainly starts pumping, however if you're not the detail oriented sort, you'll likely be a bit out of sorts (luckily i am that sort). and a note, it seems to me a bit of general-scientific knowledge is required as well, mostly basic high-school level chemistry/engineering/metallurgy as far as i can tell. all in all i'm loving it so far.

Having played for only four hours in single player, I can tell that this game was so close (SO close) to being the next Subnautica. I can tell that a lot of the ingredients are there, but they're either not always blended correctly or missing something. I would love to see this polished, because you can tell that there is a vision for what the game wants to be.

I recommend it in hopes that, if it starts getting recognized again, maybe--just maybe--the polishing will continue.

In short, it's just not fun. There's no guides at all, nothing is explained, melee combat is awful, and the key bindings are unnatural at best. When I can't even kill basic enemies with the weapons the mission tells me to craft, then what's the point? I played on Normal thinking that might be a fun balance of challenge and building, but it just turned into a nightmare of dying constantly because I couldn't find any water and I couldn't kill anything.

There's probably a good game in here somewhere, but the frustration just isn't worth it. Maybe once it's a little more polished I'll come back to it, but for now, it's just not for me.

This game was quiet good before devs decided to remake it years ago.

There are way better games on the market and for similar price and they are much more complete.

yep... honestly this is my take on this game id rather play the version from 3 years ago when there were not like 24 ores and a ♥♥♥♥ tone of unnecessary Alloys WHY CANT I JUST BUILD WITH TITANIUM AND AULMINIM WHY DO I NEED LIKE 7 DIFFERENT METALS AND TO MIX THEM ALL TO MAKE A CORRIDOR SO I CAN PEE IN THAT INSTEAD OF THE COMIDOOR BECAUSE HEY THERE ARE NO TOILETS IN THIS GAME AND IF THERE WERE ID NEED 16 DAM DIFFERENT METALS SCATTERED ALL OVER THE PLACE TO MAKE ONE AND IT WOULD HAVE NO USE anyway well joke aside i hate the fact i need like 18 different metals all scattered across the planet to make a base and then i need to smelt them into different 10 alloys its just TOO DAM COMPLEX WHY NOT JUST BUILD WITH TITANIUM STEEL AND ALUMINIUM?... well... because if building was simple the playtime would be very short because most of our time is just spent gathering 16 different ores to make one ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ base :humanjester: dont get me started on the lack of POI's and creatures and exploration why go to other planets when THERE IS LIKE NOTHING INTERESTING OR UNIQUE TO EXPLORE OR FIND THERE AND I HAVE LIKE 24 DIFFERENT ORES ON THE PLANET I START ON AND I CAN SPEND 6 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ HOURS GETTING ♥♥♥♥ TO BUILD A BASE... like exploring and not finding uniqe stuff...? PLAY THIS GAME want to like find unique stuff? well maybe just PLAY TERRARIA?!?!? ... BECAUSE I ACTUALLY GET UNIQUE ITEMS FROM EXPLORING IN TERRARIA THE UNIQUE TERRAIN AND IT ACTUALLY HAS A PROPER GAME PLAY LOOP YOU KNOW.... THAT THING THAT MAKES GAMES FUN TO PLAY... :mm_miner: in short remove 16 out of the 24 ores because they are just so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ unnecessary and just add stuff that makes me want to explore please and DON'T JUST OVER COMPLICATE CRAFTING AND BUILD TO COMPENSATE FOR A LACK OF UNIQUE CONTENT AND THEN TRY JUSTIFY THE TIME SPENT ADDING TOO MANY ORES AND OVER COMPLICATING STUFF TO RAISE THE PRICE OF A GAME BETTER OFF WITHOUT THAT ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ IN THE FIRST PLACE.... if i used the assets to make a game id do this instead: put some ores on different planets maybe have a planet that is close to the sun and has radioactive elements and a volcanic moon that has lots of diamonds gold and copper a gas giant that you can have a space station that collects gases from it a planet with unique plants that can make drugs and chemicals a small denser planet made from iron and nickle and finally a medium planet with titanium and aluminium maybe you start the game in an asteroid field with all of these but there is limited stone and you need to refine and break down the rocks to get small amount of ore and ice to start out and you would need to explore the planets and automate mining stuff with drones and stuff that bring items to you main space station but meh too bad there wont be any game play reasons to visit other planets but point is the game suffers from over compensating for lack of meaningful content by having like 24 different ores not even terraira has that many ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ores... what is this some overcompensated modded mine craft pack yes basically just is but its 50 Australian dollars now not 40... :humanjester:

I don't normally leave reviews, but I find the morality of the developer's on this insulting. This game released into early access 6 years ago, still feels rather early access, and has had rather scarce updates. Yet the most recent update on the game's status is that the developer's are raising its price because of all the work they claim to have put into it.

The game stared out promising 6 years ago and if the developer's had kept up with the projected update scheduling instead of just stringing people along with the promise of update's that took years to finish with minimal content.

At this point in time the game still feels like an early access game that was released in 2016. There are plenty of better space survival sims you can get for cheaper now.

Don't waste money on a game that will most likely never be truly finished, where developer's lie about content update release's constantly, then when the finally do start to release new content they raise the game's price.

6 years of development later, and they've only accomplished to...make it less unstable.

Avoid at all costs. Your chances are better with Star Citizen than this.

Edit:
brian, brian, brian. Wanna talk stats? Let's.
207 games in library, 43 reviews, 10 recommended, 33 not recommended.
Either I've only bothered to play 21% of my library, or I only write reviews to exceptional products. It is evident you didn't make it past the first page of my reviews profile, but I can't hold it against you. Seeing the game's track record, doing things half way and releasing them is your MO.

The fact is, I paid for this game 6 years ago. The fact is, all it takes is a quick youtube search to corroborate everything I said. You don't even need to download the game anymore nowadays. Welcome to 2022.

Crappy hostile developers like you do not belong in our platform.

And, as this is 2022, I will leave this here in case you realize what a great move your little outburst is and decide to walk it back. https://i.imgur.com/yCas493.png

Edit 2:

fair is fair. brian wants me to try out the game myself instead of relying on empirical information available for anyone, so I have dedicated it about 15 minutes, download included.

Yup, 6 years of progress, no doubt. Enemies still fall through the ground after being killed.

But kuddos to you guys, it didn't crash.

Final Edit 3:
Those screenshots display items as I found them. I didn't harvest anything. All I did was run around, and killed some horseshoe crab looking thing. Harvested and killed are not the same thing, important detail to note. But sure, I'm a Steam troll, and it's absolutely not a case of your game to have made very neglible progress in 6 years, as documented by your own patch notes.

https://www.osirisnewdawn.com/updates-list

68 months, and only 13 "major" updates. An average of an update once every 5 months, and nothing has fundamentally changed.

Stay mad brian, that will complete this project, I'm sure.

This game suits me perfectly. Survival, gathering resources, PVE, aggressive aliens, base building, crafting, exploration, some research tree, interplanetary flight, it has them all.
The game has been bought back by the developer in order to build on their initial project, and avoid confrontation with the original publisher. As a result, the game is in the middle of a major rebuilding process. And it shows.
I sincerely hope they'll be able to keep working on the game. It is in a rough state now, but updates are frequent enough, and the game already offers some interesting game mechanics to push me to recommand it.

Team Fortress 2
Team Fortress 2

A perfect example of yet again an early access game being early access for way too long. Any potential the game had has been ruined by it's extremely lazy developers. The developers for a time didn't even bother updating the game until no one was buying it anymore because progress had completely stagnated for more than 8 months to over a full year in some cases.

Now the developers have made a habit of releasing numerous 'updates' disguised as 'experimental builds' as if they added something new and exciting. Instead, it is 99% of the time just doing minor bug fixes that should have been implemented years ago.

The game has had severe FPS drop when in certain areas or looking a certain direction, numerous game breaking bugs, literally any bug you can dream of can be found in this game many of which have existed for more than 5 years. The gameplay is extremely repetitive after a few hours and there is little content overall. The only good thing about this game is it's good graphics and stunning visuals at times, both of which are completely ruined when your game is running at 20 FPS because the Devs still don't know how to optimize their game.

I once again must reiterate that the developers are shameless lazy hacks that spend more time arguing with bad reviews in the steam store than they do updating the game. I love it when they say shit like how it is 'extremely insulting' to say that all their updates are recycled(which they are, its all the same minor bug fixes presented in a deceptive manner). The developers simply are spewing nonsense when they say stuff like that. To feel insulted is to imply they had any sense of shame in the first place or any sort of pride in their work. The former is highly unlikely while the latter just proves that the developers are not only highly incompetant and lazy but delusional as well. How could anyone ever feel pride in a game that after more than six years of early access somehow is still as devoid of content and runs just as shittily as it did upon release?

If you want a fun exploration game, get Subnautica. It was also an early access title but it followed the update schedule. It is fully released, very stable and highly optimized. All three of those things sadly cannot be said for Osiris: New Diarrhea.

This game had some much potential, but unfortunately the developers totally ruined it (at least for me). This game has been in early access for last 5+ years, with soooo slow development. I've waited far too long for this, now I'm giving up. I don't think I'm going to play this much now.

It looks like a great framework for a game, if this just came out in early access id be anticipating updates but as it is I've had it sitting in my library for years and there has been no significant changes since my first playthrough. It has perhaps 2 dozen hours of (rather grindy) content and the graphics look pretty good but it feels extremely unpolished and at this rate it never will be.

Scorchedsabre
Scorchedsabre

There is so much that I like about this game. I enjoy the weapons and the base building; walking around and coming across an abandoned base or vehicle is always interesting; and the flora design is really well done and some of the fauna are quite nightmare inducing.

However I can't recommend it as it has been in development for 6 years and no sight in end for it. When it fully releases I will most likely switch this to a recommend.
Why I can't recommend it: It's buggy. Like bug bugging out on a dune buggy, buggy. From enemies levitating or just vanishing to vehicles dancing on the sand as the flip all over the place, its got bugs. The caves are samey and massive and easy to get lost in, they are very copy pasted with the same couple enemies over and over and over again.

Things that I think for quality of life for players are easy to improve: its hard to move your stores of harvested materials to your floating palace in the sky, so make the modules that deal with inventory both easier to use and make it so they can fit more stuff in it; storage in general needs a bit of work.

TL;DR: I can't recommend this game unless it's on a crazy discount on steam at the moment.

This game strikes a solid balance between great fun in multiplayer as well as singleplayer. The game is challenging, but does not feel like a constant death grind. The developers are very active in updating and putting work into the game. The community is thriving and has been since the start of the project. In total this is a very good game and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys survival/exploration style games.

The frames, the frames are falling! parts of the game are like trying to play skyrim with ultra settings on a nokia 3310, they go into the negatives. i can tolirate the other bugs, but my god it is unplayable when you get the lag/frame rate flatline, even on the lowest graphic settings it happens. mainly when you leave the planet and come back it just stright up dies on you. i have had this game for years and recently gave it another go, while it is better it's still unplayable

no early access game should cost this price especially one that's been going 6 years

Everybody has their own gripes about how a game should play and feel. This game is Fairly enjoyable every second i spend working on the progression and the unique feel this game has keeps me playing. I Love the fact that for more or less you are just dropped in to this world without much explanation and not everything is handed to you. I am currently enjoying this over No mans sky because even that game becomes repetitive because you get rushed along through the tutorial before you can even do much. Great game and still waiting to see what more comes of it.

Tennyson98

I dropped about 50 hours into this game. First off I found it super frustrating to get started. The interface is not intuitive at all and the "letters" used for different tools, objects, and equipment are not the same and universal. Two things that are super easy to fix and that would help with the frustration. Once you get started everything tries to kill you and nothing makes sense. There is a lot of room for improvement and a lot of room for more equipment to build. Having a drone system to pick up ores from mining sites would be awesome. But once you get past all that and get into the game it's a solid game. The layout is amazing, the landscape is well done, and the gameplay is solid. Hopefully they add more mobs and even random base attacks to add to the reason for defenses for the base. I think that if people play this multiplayer it will really add to the experience. I would give this game a really good 7/10.

Ok so I kike the game. It is still far from polished game needs a lot more work yet, it need improvements to performance. Load times very if you play multiplayer. Still some bugs to work out.

But the game is different. nice that it is multiplayer, also nice the multiplayer is severs not someones personal computer hosting like some other games.

Bought this game because I love space and exploration. Currently there are very few planets to "explore". Have not visited some yet but based on what I've heard from others it isn't worth it to even spend the time to. Another reason I thought this game would be intriguing was the idea of being able to make a customized space station. I loaded up a creative world and tried to do this. The spaceships are very buggy. I get that with such a small team you can't expect triple A quality, but after SIX years in early access, at the very least, a large part of the game being functional ought to be expected. For $35 I could've bought a way better game. To finish this off, don't buy this if you want a space exploration game. I think I got scammed, and I hope anyone reading this doesn't.

The game will not start, everytime i start it through Steam i get failed to launch error and told to launch it from Steam. Sounds like the devs do not know how to make a game run properly, also their discord and help on discord is not there and the devs would rather play games then help people fix the issue.

I actually am enjoying this game very much, from the start it was challenging to get a base setup and i spent a lot of hours gathering materials to make even the most basic of shelters. I know its early access but i wish it had more than 3 planets that i could investigate. I mean they are like a big square map, i wish each planet was much bigger.

I give this game a 3.5/5 so its not bad its very fun.

Karma Drak

4/10

This is a 'MEH' game.
Will not refund because i did have some fun hours at it so it was worth the sales pricetag.

PROS:
- it is actually a fun exploration game
- it has some well thought mechanics and diversity in materials
- i like how it visually creates mood and atmosphere
- i like the concept and idea behind most stuff
- love the setup for crafting and most survival mechanics

CONS:
Being in EA since 2016 and even having had some bumps in the road it is weird that it still shows so many weird and boring mechanics:
- resources spawn like crazy taking the fun out of exploring, you just wait or reload and there you have it: all replenished in the same spot
- resources are grouped by locations ALWAYS which is stupid and boring a spot only has iron, another only has sulphur and so on and minutes later they poof into existance again
- vegetation is well done and fast growing.
- most fauna follows the same couple of anims (junky) and it is just another version of an arachnid-like thingy or a giant trilobite that moves anatomically stupidly
- 3rd person is laughable and clunky
- combat reminds me of late 90's games

I expected much of this one being in dev EA for such a long time but it lacks most stuff that would solidify it as a proper game. I so hate the resource distribution ruining exploration and the funky combat againt arachnophobia triggering critters.

Mind you I never got to to explore space, vehicle use or ship flying.
I'd pass this one and am sad to say that.

I purchased this game at the end of January 2022 and just today decided to bite the bullet and play it (I've been keeping up on user reviews on how terrible this game is and is becoming instead of it getting better). First off it has NO tutorial, I am blindly stumbling along literally finding out how to do things by sheer luck and error. Then there is falling through terrain, I was in the game not more then five minutes when I jumped up on that pancake rock about 15 feet from the starting drop pod. When I tried to jumped down off of it I literally clipped through the rock and was stuck inside the edge. Then there is the GARBAGE build system when it comes to repairing structures and vehicles. NO WHERE does it state in a clear place that if you start a repair and then log out all of your progress and invested material is lost. That is asinine! Then there is the fall damage...I would fall in a literally two foot deep trench depression in the ground and take fall damage. What am I, a 60 year old woman with Osteoporosis? Then there are the tools..you cannot harvest anything higher then stone, plants and animals with the survival knife, stone knife or pipe. I killed six creatures trying to get hide and I tried using all three base tools and got NO hide so I could not make the leather items needed for the "Makeshift Chisel". In my opinion at this point in the games development with all of the epic failness from the development company I would rather they just dumped this game in the trash and lit it on fire. EDIT: It took another six or seven kills to get the hides. One of the mobs I hit was thrown INTO a boulder and stuck inside. I had to sit at the edge and stab several dozen times until I got lucky and clipped it, knocking it out of the boulder.

Decided to check the game out after looking up gameplay on youtube I found from a year back, it looked neat. But after playing it's current state?

...I wanted to like this game, really I did, but after almost 9 long painstaking hours scouring the main revealed map area east to west and back as well as the poles just to find the ores I could actually claim with that rudimentary chisel, I was still no closer to having any kind of meaningful shelter or anything minus plopping a few cloth walls on a pre-existing hab that fortunately had enough wreckage to restore the main framework. I got as far as finally crafting a proper chisel by that time after roaming the map multiple times just to find the actual limited locations of each resource, and only then did I at long last manage to be able to operate the little buggy I found near the hab. I can somewhat tolerate the crazy back-n-forth from the craft stations given its early access still, but come on...

The two biggest questions on my mind from all of this:
1. What possessed the team to make such a slow and sadistic method of progression out of what seemed reasonably functional and straightforward a year ago into this?
2. Why in the galaxy were those mega crabs given the aggro chase range of a planet no matter what tactic was used to divert them?!!

I don't know why things really had to change much from how it was a year ago, but its honestly far worse off by comparison. A nice game like Eden Star years ago wandered down a similar road of reworking the entire starting progression, but even they weren't THIS bad. The crafting was still organized and reasonable in that one for as long as the game lasted. I held off on this review until I could check the exp branch, hoping for the sake of this game that it was a few leagues better and was better in terms of progression with less cluttered confusing systems. All I see so far is just more of the same of what was in the main branch with only the same former general start location as before a year ago. I regret to say this feels like a letdown from what was presented. I get wanting to make a more in-depth progression and stuff, but without some further major improvement, I cannot in good conscience recommend this game in its present state.

This is a game in which you have to suspend disbelief to enjoy. Rocks literally float in the air, and there are rocks that are clearly designed to *not* float in the air, in which they do anyway.

The game is not focused on combat, and it shows. Both your weapon and the target work off of a hitscan method that leaves you a little window to hit your target where you intend to. In that, you do not have a follow through in which to hit your intended target.

The building mechanics leave much to be desired and I spent most of my time going from part to part of each building trying to remember what I needed and going back to storage to get those items. It would serve the developer better if you could add more tasks to your build objective so you're not stuck on one and you don't have to do any adding yourself on a separate notepad with a calculator (I don't NEED the calculator, but why would I want to do it by hand on a video game that should already have this feature?)

The skill progression system is very lack luster. I don't feel any meaningful change in my talents or choices that I pick with the exception of Science Metallurgy.

A bonus for this game is how large the maps are, and to my knowledge, there are four. Two on the starting planet, an ice/lava planet, and a lunar-esque planet. I'm trying to figure out what is causing my visor to glitch as it keeps doing, but there's no direction to tell me what is causing it and I am now at the endgame where I focus on building a station.

I started building a station in creative mode. I apparently need to build my own scaffolding. I built a habitat section, yet I don't think I could put anything in it. Didn't try appliances, but I did try custom and structure and I couldn't. So, apparently it's on you to figure out how to space walk. But then, I think the issue I am having is that you're supposed to build your space station... in space... Not in atmosphere.

Again, the game isn't very good at holding your hand, but exploring is fun, gathering materials can be a pain in the butt too. Early on I hit a catch 22 in harvesting materials. I need this kind of material, yet in order to get said material, I need to have this tool. The tool requires the material that I need.

I like it, I stopped playing, but it needs a lot of love. From what I am hearing, there isn't much going on.

I upvote this only because if more people buy it, maybe the devs will start working on it again.

After about 6 years this game sucks and it's developer is a hot-headed loser, angry most of all I'm sure at his own incompetency.

Just read through some of the negative reviews and check out this guys nutty behavior. It's really no wonder so little has been accomplished in so many years. Game should have never been released period.

In early access for over 6 years now and still no release in sight... it's a fucking scam
Buy No Mans Sky instead if you want a decent space-time experience (which you can also play with friends)

Worst early access purchase of my life

On the bright side, the official description now says this "is an unforgiving....game" so there's a little truth in advertising :-) Unfortunately, what helps make it unforgiving is the poor control interface and the buggy play. As an example, when moving along a ridge at the edge of the desert, the game map says that I am fairly deep into the desert - basically the map is decoration and can't really be used. The map will show you where resource nodes are and it's not unreasonable to have to explore them to determine what type of element they are, but once you explore them the map should update. But not here, I ended up wasting a lot of time looking for resources I had previously found but had no way of marking on a map, or otherwise saving in the game. If this were truly an early access game, these glitches and shortcomings could be excused. This game has been out for 6+ years now, so there's no way anyone could honestly call this "early access". The fact that Steam allows this to drag on so long, really doesn't speak well for the entire platform. At some point in time someone needs to say "either fix this game or kill it" but charging what they do for the perpetual state of incomplete is a scam at this point

How to tell a game is not worth your money?

-It's been in early access for several years
-It has mixed reviews
-It contains the tags open world, survival, crafting

This just so happens to have all red flags. Stay away...

This game has a lot of potential. I really like how it's not very money based, as in micro transactions and such. The fact that there's multiplayer is even more surprising (In a good way).

However, there's nobody playing at all in the multiplayer servers so that's a bummer. Although I'd like to see other players as well to support and help build quicker, having the single player option is great. Which brings me to an idea I have. It'd be cool if there were other AI space rangers also on the planet. I've seen throughout the gameplay abandoned buildings and vehicles with people in them, they appear dead. Wish we could see some of them alive or something. Because it feels very empty with just you there by yourself. And yeah I suppose one of their solutions was to create a multiplayer to counter this, but some people could just be jerks and mess around too much.

Having the AI rangers throughout the planet would be amazing. At the moment, I like how the game is right now, but I do wish to see more content or missions.

It is a game of survival and crafting. You have to gather materials, earn your way through the game. It takes time, but then that is why you are playing games anyway. There are a lot of button to try to learn as it takes more buttons than a controller has to offer, but it does have partial controller support.

Get ready for a subnautica like start, where you start out in a shack, with a rock; and everything wants to eat you,

Im gonna give this a good yes, its cool, looks great and is fun so far. If you like space survivals then youd most likely like this one too. Havent really seen any bugs yet (other than alien ones) So im looking forward to building a base and seeing what it has to offer. It says early access so i can only hope they still work on it.

kind of crap tbh. map design makes no sense, resources randomly placed around, purple ferns etc., might aswell get No Mans Sky.
might potentially be good with a lot of work and a lot of distancing from the childish/cartoony stuff that makes no sense, but until then unfortunately a complete waste of time and money

Yeah, Osiris: New Dawn is still quite buggy.. but what did you all expect from an Early Access game? It is still quite good.. There is Multiplayer now, so I can mess with my friends.

Anyways.. Overall Osiris obviously still contains bugs, but that doesn't really stop it from being a good game
I enjoy playing it..
lmao I'm bad at making reviews
