Astroneer, obsessively. They've finally given us a game-changing update that breathes whole new life into the game, so much so that it's been the only thing on my mind for weeks now, playing or thinking about it pretty much every chance I get.
The update itself is the addition of trains, and why that's so game changing is that so far we've been able to automate pretty much everything except for transport and logistics... until now. Now we can automate our mines and manufacturing to a whole new level with networks of trains and train stations, set to automatically load and unload cargo etc. The trains are also great for exploration and even better enjoying and re-enjoying the vibrant scenery of the game in whole new ways, whether that's with a journey to the centre of a planet through colourful caves and caverns, over steep hills and mountain tops, or even just your own private roller coaster (though more likely a mixture of all three )!
So yeah, I've been waiting for an update that would bring me back to the game and keep me there and I really think this is it. I've started the game from scratch and it's just a whole new experience with trains, and just basically exactly what this game needed to make it more long-term viable, so yeah, very happy right now.
