你以为的联机：分工明确，井然有序
实际上的联机：墙破了，人在哪？我死了，家没了

这游戏玩的就是这种手忙脚乱里拍桌子大笑的劲儿，通关了，有点舍不得那片被我们炸平了又建起来的外星荒地。回地球？不存在的

跟朋友联机不管是裸连还是开加速器都卡的要死，没法玩

TL;DR:
Played for 60 hours and have absolutely no standout memories—nothing that makes me say, "Hey, that was cool," or "That was fun."

The core gameplay loop is already familiar from games like Factorio. You explore, build a base, conduct research (weapons, structures, etc.), and occasionally defend your base against enemies using turrets and your own character. There is a sort of storyline included, but nothing about it really managed to hook me.

There are various planets (biomes), which does provide a bit of variety. However, many of the enemies (though not all) simply appear as different variations on other planets—in other words: "recolors" and some really minor changes sometimes.

To be honest, I didn't find the missions particularly spectacular either—though perhaps I've simply been spoiled by other games in this regard, such as AoW4, HoI4, TW:WH3, or grand strategy games in general.

I’ve now played through the game once in co-op without any DLCs, and I’m currently working through it solo with the DLCs installed (having already completed two out of three). I find the progression system rather odd, too. It feels like the tech tree serves almost no real purpose, making it feel largely obsolete. Take Frostpunk 1 as an example—a game I absolutely loved. That game featured a clear sense of progression where you had to give serious thought to what you researched; otherwise, you ran the risk of losing the game entirely. Nothing like that exists here. I can research whatever I feel like, without any guiding thread or sense of urgency—aside from the handful of specific buildings required to advance the campaign (and even those feel few and far between).

Overall, the game just lacks a sense of necessity for me. Even Factorio creates that sense of necessity by having the "Biters" evolve over time—growing stronger and spawning new species—giving you a tangible force to push back against.

Ultimately, I think the best way to describe Riftbreaker—at least for me—is simply as a "sandbox game." It’s a game where I can do—or leave undone—whatever I feel like, simply for the sake of experimentation; I can build bases just because I’m in the mood to do so, and the only real requirement is gathering the necessary raw materials to construct those buildings.


Personally, I don't think it's a great game; I don't find it fun. I can spend hours playing it—I once did 13 hours in a single sitting—and effectively kill time, but it doesn't leave me with any sense of positive fulfillment. I intend to play through the DLCs, complete the entire research tree, and see every possible ending; if my opinion changes by then, I’ll make a note of it here—though I don't really expect that to happen.

With that in mind: if you're looking for a game where you can simply kill time without getting completely bored by repetitive random events (there aren't many different types—earthquakes, meteor strikes, enemy attacks, etc.), then this is the game for you. However, if you need a sense of purpose, or if you seek the fulfillment that comes from having truly mastered or accomplished something, then I would personally advise against it.
