The vast majority of the positive reviews are from pre-1.0. Why would I listen to reviews from what the game was prior to the 1.0 release? That is an inherent, glaring flaw with the Early Access system, where reviews just keep on keeping on while a game is developed. The negative reviews are seriously in depth about the issues following 1.0 as well, whereas the average positive Steam review is about six words and a joke, which lets you know there is legitimately something to complain about here if Steam users actually care enough to type out their thoughts in full and then hundreds of people procreed to agree with those thoughts. These aren't all people with two to ten hours either. These scathing reviews are people with hundreds of hours who have been following the game for years.
So yeah, I feel reasonably comfortable trusting these people who trusted the developer enough to follow the game for years, enjoy what it turned into, only to have much of that ripped away because apparently it wasn't deemed functional enough for a 1.0 release.
Granted, I accept that much of the agreement may just be initial backlash, but paying attention to the actual content, the game as it was right up to 1.0 sounded like a treasure. 1.0 sounds like a polished turd trying to appeal to the lowest possible denominator.

Some of the content that didn't make it didn't entirely make much sense or fit into the play style for some that would otherwise be barred like I had mentioned before. Back in early access I found it insanely frustrating at having to slap down a campfire every few feet or I'd freeze to death on practically every planet, even deep below on a desert biome. Then of course there were those planets where you couldn't dig too deep or you'd burn to death, this is why we have suit upgrades and we still have those to this day to survive elements like radiation, airless moons etc.

Woah, when did this happen? I played when keeping warm was a factor, but not exploding from reaching the center of the planet. Maybe I never went too far in due to being cautious. Though it is pretty easy to die close to the center if you carelessly fall into lava...
