This game is basically a very simplified version of Starbound mixed with Elite Dangerous, emphasize on VERY simplified. Please note that this opinion was made after a 2h playtime in a VERY laggy and almost unplayable game. From what I've seen, both in my game and from streams and reviews, all the planets are mechanically the same. Color is their only true difference. All of the vegetation and animals are useless, they all yield the same material (carbon, and carbon only) every, single, time. Their general shape might change but they are really exactly the same and of no use and effect. Every single planet seem inhabited by outposts, that are always the same, in which you find always the same three types of material, isotopes, oxides and neutral elements, that you find in the exact same containers everytime. Your inventory is also very limited so a game session is usually 15 minutes of gathering to fill up your space, 5 minutes of travel to the nearest spacestation, then you sell almost everything, leave and repeat. Once you got enough materials, you upgrage your ship and leave to the next star system, in which you'll do the exact same thing all over again. The procedurally generated world adds nothing in my opinion, the changes are exclusively visual since every planet is the same earthlike rocky planet with lakes and grass of various colors, that don't affect gameplay in any way. There is also zero variety in buildings and outposts. I hoped that I would be wrong but this game is exactly what we all knew it would be. A poor game under a pretty mask.
