What players think
The recurring themes across 236 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
This game took great steps in its art style, music and physics but took 10 steps back everywhere else.
Overall, if you are the type who plays games like say Shadow of Mordor and instead of following the quests in order at the onset, you wander off to explore and fight orcs for 20+ hrs until you get stuck ( ←- looking at yours truly) , then you’ll likely enjoy goofing around in Planetoid Pioneers.
This game was definitely designed with multiplayer in mind and probably(likely) console release.
The racing planetoid and Carnegoid are primarily focused on Local Co-op (online multiplayer is something the devs plan to add) The coloseumoid is a non-interactive pit fight between random AI opponents, the blank planetoid is for making your own scenarios using the SUPER expansive scenario editor (F2 ingame), and there is an incomplete planetoid, Plutas that I am guessing will end up being a smaller objective-style map similar to the Primoid (the "Main" game)
I used an Xbone controller, and it generally started off okay, but if I tried to pick a different save location on the planetoid, it was just freeze frame and squawks until it finally figured out where I wanted to go.

Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
