8.0I found Autonauts to be tedious at first, then really fun, then exhausting. It’s a fun challenge, but in the end, I just wanted to build a robot to tell all the others what to do so I could sit down and read a book.

Critic reviews
- Root Nation7.5Autonauts is a neat little city builder with elements of programming. Cutesy artwork, fresh gameplay loop, and easy-to-learn mechanics elevate it above many other similar titles, although finicky controls are a downside.
- GameSpace.com8.5Autonauts is a fantastic little base-builder that gives players the chance to build and program their own robots. As players progress, the hands off approach may not appeal to everyone, but the ability to make your robots as simple or as complex as you want opens up the game for many hours of fun.
- 3rd-strike.com8.5Even though the game still has some flaws, it is quite addictive to play. There is something that gives you pride in starting an automated process from nothing. When you are able to watch your robots do all the work so you can focus on something else, you feel a sense of accomplishment. The developers are also bringing out updates regularly which is always a good sign. They also communicate with their players and try to take note of issues given by players. So, if you are looking for a casual cute game to pass the time and don’t mind some crafting, then for sure give Autonauts a try.
- Critical Hit8.0Autonauts is a colourful, creative and energetic game of automation and colonisation, whose cute facade is home to some truly engaging coding that never gets too complex.
- Cubed35.0It is a shame that Autonauts has a notable bug that rapidly reduced enjoyment and led to a premature end of the game. The style and concept are well executed, allowing many approaches to completing progression goals that are so numerous completionists will be in heaven. Creating and replacing tools as they break is an acceptable part of the game, but constantly having to stop and start robots in their actions because of an inexplicable error loses the whole automated process that is central to Autonauts' functionality.
