Lacuna Passage Reviews

It's a good game for what it has, and I certainly enjoyed it. It's sad to see that it's not going to have a story mode, but it's still pretty good with what it does have. Good luck on your ventures dude. Godspeed.

I have had very positive experiance with this game... I am deeply encouraged by it's active growth and fantastic content that this will be a tremendous game. yes it is in early access, it does need time to grow but I have been playing for a week now and I am never bored with it. the Lacuna Passage is first and foremost a mars survival simulator.

I love this game! Played 8 and a half hours of it so far. I’ve been wanting to play a Mars survival game that feels much more like a simulator then a fast paced unrealistic video game. This game is awesome! I love the fact that its like a Mars simulator. The game is still in Early Access, and so it still needs a lot of work. I encountered a bug, where I hopped out of my rover, and then it wouldn’t let me walk around. So I had to close and re-open the game, and then it was fixed. It only happened once though. I lost some game progress though, because the game only saves once you sleep. I find that kind of annoying, because if I have to stop playing for some reason, it only saves your progress when you slept last in the game. I wish it would save your progress every time you quit the game, or maybe had an auto save every minute or so. The sound design and music are amazing as well! I love how it randomly starts playing ambient space music when your walking around or exploring. Really adds a lot to the game. Its also really cool that you can walk around and use your data pad at the same time. Mouse sensitivity was way to high on default, but it was easy to turn down in the settings. The visuals are pretty good. When looking out at larger surface areas, I can spot a lot of texture tiling. Like, I can see the same texture pattern repeated over and over again. So fixing that would be a nice improvement. Again, I know this is in early access, but I had some cool ideas on how to improve the game. So if the game creators read this, maybe they could use some of these ideas: 1. The Rovers could have a solar mount, so that you could add a spare solar panel on top of it. That way the rover batterys can charge when its daylight. 2. I also think adding Multiplayer to this game would be really cool. 3. When I was filling up the spare battery's and oxygen tanks, I thought it would be nice to see how much of the Hab’s resources I was using. Once I charged a portable battery, but accidentally used up all of the Hab power, and had to quickly transfer some from my suit to the Hab. 4. The Mars bases need way more solar panels. Realistically, a Mars base would have a large solar farm, but the bases only have a few small solar panels here and there. So I think it would be more realistic If each base had at least a small solar farm. 5. I’m sure there are plans to add this, but it would be great if there was a way to make food. Currently, if you run out of food, your dead. There’s no way to make more food. 6. I find maintaining your base is kind of annoying. Every couple of days, I had to go around and repair the slots of all the components. It seems unrealistic that you would need to to that every few days. Things should break down over time, but not in just a few days. You have to constantly be checking up on the systems, if you don’t want a part to break. 7. I think it would be better if the game would save every time you quit, instead of only saving when you slept. 8. I think it would be cool if you could run the system diagnostics from the Hab, so that you don’t need to do an EVA to check them. 9. I would like it if you could have multiple game slots, because currently it only allows for one game slot. And overall just adding more to the game would help a lot. The story mode also sounds really cool! I hope there able to create that sometime as well. Overall, if your looking for a Mars survival simulator game, then I highly recommend this game. Although keep in mind that the game is still in early access, so there are still so many things that could be added to this game. But so far I think its off to a great start!

No more infos from the devs. No story or at least a storyline for the gameplay. You just run around and try to find stuff so u can run around even longer. I was very enthusiasctic about this game earlyer on. But now I am quite disappointed and sad that I baought this game in the early access state where you just got scammed by the devs.

The game looked promising, then was openly put on hold, I check from time to time, appears that it's been almost a year on hold, I'm only giving it a thumbs down because it appears at this point in time, there's no future for this game. I will certainly change my review if the game receives future updates.

2 years now since last communications from the developer. Oxygen supplies have long since depleted, and only his desiccated remains now poke through the drifting red sands of a lifeless Martian landscape.

So far so good. Very different survival where you have to think. No weapons, no enemies, no animals etc. Just you, alone, trying to survive a little longer. Artwork is awesome and I have been able to figure out a lot of it on my own. Look forward to every update.

I'm just about six hours in and I have to say I like it! My main base is up and running at high efficiency. I have found one of the other bases, looted it for spare parts and took all of the stored food back to the main base; almost ran out of oxygen trying to get back! Contracted some radiation sickness on a long expedition but found some anti-radiation pills to get me back to health. All-in-all, if you want to be Mark Watney for a while, this is your game!

Abandoned game, they promised an update for years and now they officially announced they leave it. The game as it is doesn't offer any more than a few hours of gameplay, after that not much to do since you can't avoid to die of starvation. DON'T BUY THIS. It should be removed from the store. Don't give money to scammers.

The original developer sold it to other people who was very enthusiastic at the beginning but soon lost their momentum. Now it is completely abandoned: no news, no updates, no game, actually.
