The grind is real, and fun!
TLDR: Grindy unoptimized game. Very Fun. Constant Exploration. Always something to work towards. Breathtaking and Hilarious. Requires serious playtime to get real fun. Cant wait for the Multiplayer. A great game for future modders? _ I, LOVE, this game. This is a game I bought on a whim, unsure if I was actually going to like it. I bought this game after the NEXT update was released. And as of writing this there is NO multiplayer for the DRM FREE version of the game. Let me get a few things out. This game is not optimized well. I have never owned a game that ran so poorly on my modern machine, especially for the game being released in 2016. I can see my FPS dip down to the TEENS, but they mostly stay in the 30-40 range and I've seen it as high as 71. Even with that said, it really doesn't bother me much. Also, this is a very grindy game. Some people like that and some don't. I am on the side of loving the grind. Loving the idea, having the goals to work towards. This is not a game you can pick up and play willy-nilly. This is a game you need to set time aside for and put your nose to the grind stone. There are a lot of repetitive tasks in this game. Collecting materials is what makes the game go round but its also the most grindy part about it. What this game does is give you something to look forward to. If you put in 30 minutes of grinding, you will have something to show for it (not much). If you put in 40 hours of grinding you will defiantly have something to show for it. This game does not end as far as exploration. You will always discover new planets and new wild life. After a wile the planets do all start to look very similar. Having gone to over 50 planets I can tell you that there is really only about 5-6 biomes that are distinguishable. The wild life for me is what keeps the planet exploring the most fun, from mushroom-octopi to giant T-Rex look alike with the tiniest little face. The wild life you find can be awe inspiring to bust out laughable.
