Its good now, but not $40.99 good.
Its pretty decent now. I got it at GOG at $16 bucks, and i am enjoying it quite a bit. I wouldnt pay full price for it, as it still has some issues and deficiencies, but anything less than $30, is well worth it in my opinion. Just so you know what to expect, The things that annoy me most are: - I sometimes fall thru the floor and need to load a save (serious bug) but it doesnt happen too often. - It has atrocious object popping (things "materialize" near you) - No planetary map to log your in-planet discoveries (and get back to them). - Too much juggling with the inventory - For an exploration game, the "exploration" instrumentation you get is lacking. No planet maps, the galaxy map is too simple & crappy, and you get a poor excuse for a compass without heading indicator (in degrees) or even the 4 cardinal points. Just an "S" and a "N" - No joystick support! (but there is a way arround it). - Somehow clumsy UI - The devs are apparently mute, or cant type. they never communicate with the players. Not even to give news on upcoming improvements, nothing. But then again, i dont think anyone expects too much from these particular devs*cough* Sean Murray* *cough* liar *cough* hehe On the other hand, what i like most is... - Tons of fun to explore the planets, they do feel different and diverse (for me at least) - Simple, but still fun space combat (specially if you have a joystick) - Good, sometimes beautiful visuals. - Nice and fun base building. Not lego block based like empyrion or minecraft, you build whole rooms, corridors, etc. - Awesome feeling of freedom, to go wherever you want, nothing is out of your reach (except the suns i guess hehe) - Quite a lot of things to do. missions, building, farming, exploring, gathering tech, combat, etc. - Its immersive, allways being 1st person, with nice enviroments, etc. - Music is nice IMPORTANT: this is all from a single player perspective. I have no idea how good or bad multiplayer is.
