Like the title, the game is one of the few space exploration gems made thru the years.. Crafting and resource gathering is the first part focus of the game. Exploring shelters and landmarks on planets. rewards with blueprints used to upgrade the space suit (exosuit) and the spaceship. That does push you to stay on a planet or in a system a while to discover things about the alien race that once lived. Still haven't tried space combat or smuggling. As a X3 Reunion / Evochron mercenary / Pioneer fan, i say this game takes a little of those games good sides. Technically: The game runs smooth on my system, full HD , maxed game settings, FXAA, Vsync at 60FPS, haven't dropped under 60FPS once. Yet is one of the few games that push my modded zotac GTX 970 almost to the limit (70-85% average GPU usage, 100-130% power draw, 60-80% CPU usage). The game, at 1080p maxed settings uses around 3Gb of VRAM and 4,5Gb of RAM. My specs: - i7 2600k@4.2 - 8Gb DDR3 1866 - GTX970 zotac amp extreme (modded with raised powerlimit and fixed 3d clock at 1056 MHz GPU and 7 GHz on the VRAM)
