ASTRONEER for Xbox One and PC
If Pixar made No Man’s Sky: The Movie it’d probably look something like Astroneer – a cross between Minecraft and Wall-E set during an interplanetary goldrush in the 25th century. With pound signs in your eyes you’re fired off into space in the hope of hitting the jackpot, with a galaxy full of procedurally generated planets to hop between and plunder. Fortunately you’ll have more than just a shovel and the pockets of your spacesuit at hand to help you gather your extra-terrestrial booty.
You’re armed with powerful tools that let you tunnel down into the surface of each planet, forge bridges out of space rock to help you reach previously inaccessible areas, or flatten out locations in order to build bases on them, which will allow you to store resources and accumulate wealth. While No Man’s Sky is a largely solitary
experience, Astroneer promotes drop-in/ drop-out co-op with up to three other
explorers. You’ll be able to climb behind the wheel of a buggy to traverse the ground more quickly and find somewhere to lay down the foundations for your base – or seek out any hidden artefacts that could help your quest to colonise space. How long do you have to wait till you
can blast off on your first exploratory mission? No time at all. It’s out on Steam’s Early Access and Xbox One’s Game Preview Program right now, with a proper release to follow later in the year.
