Astrometica, a No Man’s Sky-Inspired Survival Game, Debuts to Positive Reviews on Steam

In the vast expanse of space, silence reigns supreme. Yet, there’s nothing quiet about the thrill of scavenging for supplies or navigating your ship through a field of asteroids. Enter Astrometica—an exploration game that takes the essence of No Man’s Sky and introduces a spine-tingling twist. And the best part? It’s available right now.

Survival games come a dime a dozen, with many offering engaging experiences. However, Astrometica is quickly proving to be a standout. This new PC title casts you as the luckless survivor of a mishap on a mining colony, forced to escape via a solitary pod.

Now, you find yourself in the boundless and daunting emptiness of space, relying solely on your instincts and a few rudimentary tools. It’s a familiar setup: start with the basics and explore your surroundings to uncover rewards, intriguing artifacts, and the occasional existential threat.

The game carries a distinct horror vibe, making it a true nightmare for anyone with a fear of wide-open spaces. The sensation of floating in zero gravity echoes the eerie ambiance of deep-sea adventures like Subnautica, leaving you feeling both small and vulnerable. Yet, it’s your cleverness and ingenuity that will ensure your survival.

If you’re curious, there’s a free preview available that gives you a taste of the full game. You’ll get a glimpse of what to fret about, from power management to vehicle upkeep, and of course, the intricacies of crafting. It’s the perfect opportunity to see if this blend of sci-fi horror and escapism suits your taste.

Astrometica is currently up for grabs on Steam, and you can dive into Astrometica: Prologue without spending a dime. For more upcoming releases—whether they’re grounded on Earth or set in the stars—make sure to check out our list of forthcoming PC games.
