Despite what some say, this is not a dead game. Developers are active, as is the developer discord channel. I've been enjoying this game quite a bit.

Be careful. No news from the developers for almost a year. I wouldn't recommend buying this game since the endgame is broken and most of the important features of the game are left at a broken state. DO NOT BUY.

Perfect example of what No Man's Sky might have been had the developer not given a damn. It is a crime that Steam and the publisher are leaving this up for sale given that it has been totally abandoned by the developer for years. Stay away unless you just like wasting your money. Unfinished buggy mess. Broken AI for NPCs and unobtainable items in game (literally called unobtainium in game). Just go get No Man's Sky.

Abandonware, avoid at all costs! The game is unpolished and runs like crap, features are underdeveloped and the gameplay loop is basic. A survival game is made great if it has great progression or unique gameplay, this has neither so it's not even worth checking out. This is no untapped potential, it's just no potential and i regret the time and money i spent on it, don't make the same mistake as me and avoid this …

Do not buy, the game is unfinished and never will be finished.

26% of the 181 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Outpost Zero. The complaint that keeps coming up: game is abandoned with no updates since 2019. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

There's no immediate apparent way to opt out. This is completely unethical and reprehensible. Gamers must be aware of the dangers of installing this harmful software and should avoid this completely. Outpost Zero is an older, abandoned game from 2019. It's a venerable 5 years old at the time of this review. It's got a very compelling pitch, as most…

NOTICE: Developer has moved onto Co-Found a whole different company "Studio 369". THIS GAME IS NO LONGER BEING DEVELOPED! THIS PROJECT IS COMPLETELY ABANDONED. Game is for the most part BROKEN. PURCHASE AT YOUR OWN RISK
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is Abandonware. There hasn't been any updates or any developer communication in years. DO NOT BUY Unless you see some sort of progress being made in the development of the game after the date of this review. It honestly should be illegal for them to still make money off of the game that they have not done anything with and never got finished. It may not have an Early Access label anymore, but it 100% is still in the Early Access development stages of the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game abandoned. really enjoyed this until the dev gave up on it.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is abandoned since 2019, Don't buy this game. The developer left the game broken AF! What a shame, it started so good..
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →why is this for sale? its abandoned since 19.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandoned dont buy
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is abandoned. Symmetric Games has been shut down and the developers work for a different company now. Steam should stop selling this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Devs abandoned the game, was a really good concept and I had fun, but the devs just dropped it and didnt bother to tell anyone, dont waste your money on a dead game it isnt worth it imo
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →dead game don't buy
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dont waste your money cuz this game is abandoned. Pls dont buy it. No updates since December 7 / 2019.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Seems to be abandoned, no updates since Dec. 2019, not even status updates or team updates. Even a monthly blog would be nice but they have not even done that. DO NOT BUY until the devs show commitment to the title.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →came back to see if this game had gotten better sense purchasing it... only to find that is is abandonded.. wish i could get my money back
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had high hopes for this game a long time ago, but it seems to have been abandoned.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandoned game, DO NOT BUY
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played this game for a while and its a grindfest. Levelling is incredibly slow (doable if you're very patient) but the killer is that you'll get so far into the game only to find out that the devs haven't actually finished the game and end game ingredients are not actually written into the game. Sad to say that i'd advise you to save your money. Videos promise so much but the game fails to deliver
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Could have been such a cool game! It has some neat mechanics for survival games, like auto-resource mining and pipelines to move goods from resource nodes to your base. The real problem is that the game was never finished. The world is more or less empty, there are roughly 5 different kinds of creatures running around in the wild, and while there are AI Pirates that attack your base, they always land in the same spots and are easily dealt with. It is a game that had a ton of potential…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game was abandoned by the developers. And they didn't communicate about it until someone asked them about it over Discord. Source: https://steamcommunity.com/app/677480/discussions/0/2566438792556860284/ It's sad because it was really an interesting concept.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This would have been a wonderful game if they'd finished it. Fun idea, though! Maybe Steam should stop selling abandonware for a profit, and stick to selling games that were actually completed or still being worked on, at least.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it was fun untill they stopped putting in time to give a good final product. Do not spent any money on them.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game was very interesting and I played it here and there. Was surprised to find that it is no longer in development and is now abandoned. I can no longer recommend this game as such.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was such a great game with so much potential unfortunately it seems the devs have abandoned it due to lack of income from it. Its a shame really, I was looking forward to this games future.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →unfinished! stay away from this and its developer!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They Abandoned game !!!!! no info or so
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was alot of fun until all my robots decided to suicide into an enemy monster +500m away. Like seriously I put all my bots on passive even. No one to fix it either, Devs abandoned this game in 2019 when it made full release.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is fun for a while but has a ton of bugs. It's a shame. I can't recommend it. It was abandoned by the developers. Don't buy this and don't give them any more money!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I did enjoy the game off and on for a few months but as it seems to have been abandoned I can't recommend it. It's a shame really as there was a lot of potential in the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I put a fair amount of time in 60ish hours and a few restarts over the course of this games short early access. This could have been a really awesome game, it had so much going for it and then just up and abandon. What they had was really fun, except for the waves of dumb bots that would attack that was more of a chore and really did not offer anything unique from that part of the game. I think it could have if it had not been abandon and it could have turned into something really really fun.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This could have been a great survival game it is just beautiful but as usually a pvp concept and guess what the game went bust I am so shocked and amazed the game is dead. If this game would have had a pve survival concept it would have taken off like a rocket and you could throw in the option for people to pvp if they want on a server them make fine, but no they went with you are some kind of robot that deploys to the planet and you fight other robots pvp blah blah blah so the game went bust.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had high hopes for this. it started so well. but this project now seems to be abandoned. hope they breath some life into this in the future.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For what this game is. It was a very fun game to play and is an interesting approach to base building and fighting. Though it seems the game was abandoned by the developers because it has been a long time since the last update. The endgame and some mechanics of the game is unfinished and broken. I would not recommend wasting your money on this game. It's unfortunate that this game is no longer getting updates and bug fixes. I wish steam would stop allowing games to be sold when a developer…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good Concept, dont buy not worth it in current version. Was abandoned . Check one of the other reviews for the posted discussion from discord...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Graphics are poor, game play is OK but random, story non existent.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game with a great idea and very good potential, even to be better than satisfactory, but very sad, that it was dropped and left in a very poor QoL state, as it's pain to play as it is.. :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game has been abandoned. No support, no news. Game is still alpha.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandonware Broken Game I wish I could refund
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →NOT WORTH BUYING! (unfinished and abandon) This game is hardly a beta-version of a game. Alot of parts are simple not finished and the basebuilding is kinda "basic" what every other game had and is not working correctly. All appeals as the game is quick put together and thrown on the market!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yet another game that got abandoned.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is unique in design and game play, However, the developers have abandon further development and bug fixes. Don't expect this game to get any better than it is at it's current state. For the most part, the devs are mute and the only players left are the ones who are committed to the game and basically don't want anyone else to participate and will destroy you on contact, If you buy this game, expect to enjoy it for a few hours and then get bored, the content is limited, the players are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hasn't gotten an update in ages and feels meh to play. Definitly not worth it. The last update the developer branch of this game got was 4 years ago. The fact that they relased this out of Early Access is a scam.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →All the ingredients were there for great potential, I love the bots concept. They've came so close that I'm amazed this got abandoned, alas in it's current state it's simply unfinished. Rarely I've felt so cheated as by this one, supporting it in early state. The fact they do still sell it here after all these years instead of an refund, nor even an apology or decent patches tells me to never trust these Dev's again. (Can't even find a website of Symmetric Games)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a shame, I've had this game for a while... I just checked to see if there have been any updates to get back in the game but nada. I wish I could get a refund for games that developers abandon. We support games in early states and this is what we get. I'm never buying another game from Symmetric Games or tinyBuild.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was my first experience with the survival genre, and maybe that's why I liked it so much. This game was also abandoned, and left riddled with bugs that break the game, and maybe that's why I can't recommend it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →don't buy this game. it is abandoned since 2019! the dev is a scumbag the game is broken af! Just don't do it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandoned never finished
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Devs have abandoned the game. It still has loads of bugs and problems but devs have left the scene and are not even responding on the forums any more. Not even half the content that was promised at the start. Shame really because it WAS a good concept.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →PROS: - Pretty nice visually - Concept is cool - The idea of automation via AI bots is pretty cool - Automating supply chains is also pretty cool - Building is varied and pretty neat. CONS: - Poorly optimized. Appears to be locked at 60fps and dips down sub-30s on a RTX 2080 Ti/Core i9 9900KS/32GB RAM. - The entire map looks the same. Very little variety. - The grind is real. - Vehicles are locked behind a multi-hour grind. - All creatures act the same even though they look different. - Pirate…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great concept, sadly full of bugs and barely functional. It seemed like it was rushed for release in a bad state, and only one developer was left trying to make it something decent. Seems that he gave up and moved on eventually as well.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game had so much potential but the project seems to have been abandoned by the developer in January of 2020 when the CEO of the development studio went to work for Studio 369. Don't bother buying this as it will not have updates.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game appears to have been abandoned. Don't bother until you see updates start happening.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Seems to be abandoned, had some potential though.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Having played for quite some time now and I change my initial opinion on this game. It is still somewhat terrible but it is enjoyable. Game runs smoothly and it does not hinder any performance on my pc so its good. However, it is crucial to note that there are not many things you can do with this game. The plot and the concept is really decent but it lacks on the execution part. There just isn't enough content to keep me excited for a long time. There are no re-color options, no character…
