Beyond Contact

There are lots of survival systems at play in Beyond Contact, but due to the poor functionality of the UI a lot of those systems aren’t fun. While I did enjoy the actually base building, and research systems for upgrading gear and tools my constant fight with the UI and bugs just marred each of my play sessions with the game. If players can deal with the controls, the developers are promising more planets to explore. Those that prefer the mouse and keyboard might have a better time with this one than I did with the controller.

Beyond Contact is an entertaining experience that brings together common elements from several genres to give an interesting sci-fi adventure setting.

Beyond Contact isn't the most fresh survival game you can find and, while it's not bad, it's not that good either.

If you can tolerate the controls, then Beyond Contact does have a fair amount of content with more promised on the way to give players plenty of hours to sink their teeth into. However those issues are deep and hard to ignore and console players should definitely avoid this game.

Beyond Contact presents us with an interesting survival game whose cornerstone is based on scanning, crafting and building with a simple initial plot as a trigger base and a gameplay that will make time go by very quickly. If you like games of this type, Beyond Contact is, without a doubt, an option to take into account; even more so if we like futuristic and science fiction games. A very entertaining game with many interesting options, such as its online multiplayer mode, and with a great future to come, since from options we can see how there are two other planets to explore with a great and promising "coming soon". Seeing how the product has been cared for and changed since its early access came out two years ago, it is a very promising future for this survival game with 3D graphics in top view.
