I've been following this game for years, and I'm a huge enjoyer of the base game, so naturally I was excited to see a new planet DLC and at a reasonable price! Getting right to the point, it's good. Solidly good, assuming you like the game already. For the most part, it's Planet Crafter on a new planet. There are a couple of new additions with the ore crushers and some new resources, but mainly it's the same game, so if you want more, this is for you.

IF you're expecting a completely different experience, you may be disappointed. The map itself is nice. About half the size of the main map, but fairly densely packed, and there is a bit more noticeable change as you terraform the world. The biggest downside I would say is the story feels undercooked. Obviously the base game isn't what I would call a narrative masterpiece, but it's enjoyable nonetheless. In Humble, you get some light lore and worldbuilding messages that give you some hints and explain what's going on in this new landscape, but that's about it. I found the ending a bit underwhelming as well.

Negatives aside, it's a nice DLC, and for $8 I found it to be fairly priced. It's worth noting too that only one person needs to have the DLC to play it in co-op, which is a pro-consumer move I very much appreciate. It's a solid and good DLC, but I do hope if they do another one they push the envelope a little more.
