This game sounds incredible but after around 5-10 hours you will of experienced everything the game has to offer and what it does have to other is arguably dreadful. 18 quintillion planets: the first time you set off in your first spaceship is easily the best part of the game i have never experienced anything like it and it was the thought of taking off from one planet and landing on the next seamlessly which was the reason i bought the game and the first couple of times you do are amazing...but... then it becomes the same. All the planets have the same (to all intents and purposes) the same topography the same resources the same looking caves. the only noticeable difference is the color. The plants you can ananlyse look all but identical. And the animals look like spore creatures but with much worse textures. They don't do anything they just walk around. The same goes for the aliens they sit or stand and do absoloutely nothing interesting apart from giving you useless technology you can't be bothered to create. All planets have identical looking shelters drop pods and alien bases which look exactly the same!!! Every single spaceship has the same interior the same layout everywhere looks the same. There are no planets which stand out or planets where you can say that planet was so cool it had this .... amazing feature. Every planet gives you the same experience as the last one. Mining: most of your time will be spent pointing a laser at a rock to gather resources, selling those resources to buy other resources to power your ship to get to another planet to mine more resources to sell to get more resources etc.... You do the same thing all the time you mine the same exact things sell them in the exact same location from the exact same aliens (and there is only 3 races in an entire universe, 3) there is no story or real quests the game was created to explore but when everywhere looks the same there is no point. The combat is dull and pathetic. DO NOT BUY TRUST ME
