No Man's Sky

Just bought this game and I'm loving it so far. Especially the recent expedition with corvette building.

Same. Being able to walk about your ship, even while it's flying feels very novel.

The combat could do with more work, but it's serviceable.

Played it recently because I got it for free:

Played No Man's Sky for a while(got it for free), it's decent enough with some cool systems(freighters, fleet, etc., especially so.) But it feels a bit pointless because nothing pulls it together into a whole. Felt very negative after I got done with a long session playing it and uninstalled.

A lot of the game also felt like it obviated itself. You can quickly and easily transport between systems, making credits becomes very easy. You can also buy your materials this way. So what am I exploring planets for? Just going to POIs, might as well be playing an ubisoft game.

I'd say the weakest aspect of the game is the planet themselves. They're just… nothing. Completely uninteresting. I'd imagine I'd have enjoyed it significantly more if it was mission-based(e.g., mass effect, warframe, etc.,) , which ironically means most of the game itself wouldn't be used.

The core game itself is just… not good. They've put a lot of work onto something that just fundamentally isn't that great, and it's kinda good with a lot of cool features but they never fixed the core game itself just being not good.

Another critique is that the UI is made for consoles with zero thought for PC users even all these years later. Hunting for items between storage containers is a massive pain in the ***, there's no search feature, etc., Having to scroll through pages 10 items at a time is ridiculous, no way to sort, and so forth. No idea how that has gotten a complete rework.

I played some more NMS because I just wanted to get lost in a game for a while and had nothing better, tried to start over in survival and meh… I walk away from the game feeling like the experience was a complete waste. It's not particularly enjoyable, you don't feel like you're engaging in anything. It just feels like a treadmill with no interaction, and really, no goal.

The game is designed for consoles through and through which creates a ton of UX issues, but even still, the core game is fundamentally not good.

Uninstalled it.

I don't think it's for me
