The new update finally convinced me to buy the game. After one year since release, the content seemed somewhat close to what they promised us at release. In general, I'm quite satisfied with the game, but it has some flaws. That's the reason for 4/5 stars. I didn't spend enough time with the game to write a proper "review" yet (~3h), but my impressions so far: Pros: - Well generated worlds, creatures and plants. - The quest/tutorial was pretty well done and taught me how to play the game quickly. - Interesting "catalogue" feature to collect all the planet's flora, fauna and waypoints. - Flying the spaceship/driving the cars handles well. - Well crafted trading and base building system. Cons: - The game seems very needy for resources and it feels like it would need some more optimisation (especially the LOD-popping/fading is quite annoying sometimes). - There's little bugs here and there which hopefully will be fixed soon. - As far as I can tell, the things you can do in space besides flying and mining are very limited. Spending time between planets needs to be more exciting. - The starting inventory is still VERY limited. Running around and gathering a lot of things seems impossible at this stage of the game. Having a full inventory so quickly really slows me down and stops me from just exploring more of the planet while gathering resources. All in all, the devs seem to try really hard to make this game a great experience. I feel like for everyone who doubted them (rightfully so) there might be a point sometime in the future where a patch like this one (1.3) will be released which convinces them to buy it. As always, we need to remind ourselves: games are about having fun and experiencing great feelings. This game makes me have both and that's why I like it.
