So as someone who has played the game like yourself and appears your enjoying it, what are favorite things about it? Is it as glitchy as others say? Any negatives or drawbacks? Feel free to tell me you anything you want. I like reading user feedback.
I like to consider myself a more mature gamer and I don't need the latest Call Of Duty to entertain my needs. I was on the fence with this game, but now I plan on purchasing.
Thanks for your feedback.
I'm playing on PS4, and as I understand it, the PC version is currently a wreck. I haven't come across any bugs/glitches yet. There is hardly any hand holding in the game. I think the controls are poor, but maybe I just need to play more to let it sink in.
This is definitely a slower-paced game. It's all about the atmosphere (no pun intended), exploring, and crafting. If you're looking for action, this is NOT the game for you. I haven't even fought anything except for some sentinel drones, and that was because I was breaking into a colony outpost. As far as I'm aware, there is no in-game map. You get objectives and waypoints, but you will most certainly never beeline to them, because you'll come across all sorts of weird things you just want to "check out for one quick second." Next thing you know, you're 15 minutes away from your ship...
I really dig the art style. It's very vibrant. Keep in mind I am still on the first planet I start out on, because I'm just taking my time. My planet looks like it's from a Dr. Seuss story. I'm exploring plants, animals, and structures.
The music, in my opinion, is excellent, and perfectly suited. It's very prog-space-rock-style. I thought my special edition came with the soundtrack, which is something I would have listened to, but I must be mistaken.
Currently, I'm working on learning the Kovox language so I can interact with them better, and working on upgrading my exosuit, ship, and multitool. The multitool is used to gather resources (think: Minecraft). There are weapons, and the weapons can even be used to break up the planet if you get stuck somewhere like underground. With the special edition I believe I received a better ship with a hyperdrive, but I have not redeemed that yet because as I understand it, if you leave the first planet without learning how to make a hyperdrive, you could get screwed later on. They announced a big patch coming very soon -- guessing that addresses that because some people are currently stranded like Matt Damon.
My interaction with life forms has been limited. While I do approach any intelligent life forms to see what I can learn or trade, in terms of animals, all I've done is fed a few some iron here and there. None of them have attacked me yet. I'm working on the Kovox faction, for what it's worth. I believe there are 3 languages to learn?
You'll uncover monliths that you can learn from, some stones that will teach you single words, technology to discover, outposts to name, and more. I think the scope is much narrower than everyone believed initially, but it's not a bad game at all. I think you just have to accept it for what it is -- a game about exploration and crafting.
