I bought this game soon after its launch aware of its limits and prepared to enjoy the zen experience on its own merits. I was one of the few who enjoyed the original version, although I did reach the 20 hour burn out stage, and thereafter I only ran it for the occasional chillout session. But the new update looks promising, it definitely looks better, and I'm seeing more diversity of life and foliage around the planets. With the addition of space freighters the space battles seem a bit more important and the need to upgrade your ship's defense/offensive capabilities is becoming clear. After this, I'm hopeful there's more to come from the development team and looking forward to playing more and seeing what the next update brings. Also, I wavered on whether to get the GOG or the Steam version, and now I'm really glad I stuck with GOG; it streams well through the Nvidia Shield and GOG Galaxy works brilliantly for me.
