Fascinated by the gorgeous artwork and intriguing story and by how much love was put in this project by the devs, as soon as I saw this game, I had to buy it. It was a no brainer, all the fun one could have in this game, all the stories and eastereggs you may unveil, how somebody can resist this urge to explore is beyond my comprehension. You start off easy, pick your crew, each member has a speciality, one may do well in the lander, the other may help you communicate with aliens, maybe someone will even help discover what's going on with some of your 'friends'. Next choose colour, ship and lander. As with the crew, the ship and lander define how you'll play. You can go with light manoeuvrability, a solid middle ground, or slow but sturdy. After that, and be sure to choose wisely, you set your seed which determines your universe. If you are an adventurer like me, you'll probably play the same seed over and over again until you have seen it all. Then you probably move on to the next seed to discover even more. While gathering resources and a quick way home should be your priority, make sure to contact all the benevolent aliens there are and seek out any chance to look at shipwrecks, ruins, etc. The interaction with other aliens and their stories is awesomely implemented in this game. The dialogues are witty, well written and funny. Of course there are dangers out there everywhere and you will often find yourself stuck in a situation where there will not be a right answer. Amazingly you will find yourself pondering how to further proceed quite often. This might put you off and this game surely will not take you by the hand and lead you home. You are often lost in translation and will die often. That's what you take with you for the next run, knowledge what's not working. Repeat and succeed. Let's face it, this game is not like modern games, it is much more, with a lovely soundtrack and the possibility to explore on your own, what is out there and what you can do.
