it comes out on the 12th for PC iirc

Watched a handful of gameplay videos for it.
Still just as uninterested, if not, even more uninterested.

Didn't really expect much from this game.

I have to say, I'm thoroughly enjoying it so far. I'm usually not a big fan of these types of games, but this one is quite fun.

Someone calculated that you have a higher chance getting cancer than meeting another player in this game.

what I'm proposing, is that the Multiplayer effect is not implemented yet. two players have found each other, are on the same planet, but can not see eachother. matched their coordinates precisely. they contacted eachother when one found the other's planet, and messaged him.(I know you already knew this, just adding some backstory )

I'm guessing this is singleplayer, with the traits of updating planets in the game and showing who has discovered them. regardless, I am enjoying this greatly.

I've heard a few criticisms so far but also lots of good. Can anyone who has the game comment on these?

- Planets are different in terms of life and makeup and stuff but after seeing a few they start to get repetitive and unoriginal. Bound to happen when you make everything from the same bag of lego bricks. They push the aspect of how many planets there are pretty hard but 2^64 planets doesn't mean shit if they're similar enough to start looking the same bar a color palette change. Heard the game described as being "broad as an ocean but deep as a puddle".

- Game loop is repetitive and gets boring fast. That is, constantly having to get resources and stuff for your suit, multitool, ship. You can't just explore because these things have to always be considered and slow you down/hold you back.

- Nothing happens. Heard there isn't much story. Alien AI races don't do anything, don't interact with eachother. No wow moments.


I'll reserve my final judgement for a few days while people get into it more and I can hear how it plays on PC but if someone can comment on those things above I'd be really interested to get your views.

Well the game looks good with/without multiplayer because its all about chill exploring
and getting upgrades and stuff. there is still few exploits here and there that reddit found, and there is obviously still bugs but all in all the game looks good.

It really depends on your point of view.

I like wandering around just to see something new, but Jim Sterling's review hit me hard.
I'm really on the fence about this right now.

well 2 people were on the same planet at the same spot and they didnt see each other so yea its a single player game.
but someone had a theory that due to hyperdrive and stuff, each of them were in a different time but at the same place so yea.

i was right to be skeptical.
game is actually kind of a piece of shit
