No character customization and very little visual progression so it can all be sold to you later in MTX in a game that costs $65... and these make the game unsatisfying and leaving you very little objective. Also, if you use a town portal it resets the map you were in including all the exploration you did so wtf that makes it not a town portal doesnt it?

Game feels a bit janky and amateurish but ultimately has the spirit of what makes these games good and satisfying and keeping you coming back. I think its probably slightly below subnautica and Enshrouded but still amazing. I wish they slowed down how fast the planet was turned green though. It doesn't feel challenging enough and the greenery comes too soon and too much of the game is spent once the game has already been terraformed. You also can start to breathe air and it really messes with pacing and the world no longer feels dangerous. I think they need to spent way more time and content before the planet is green like 70/30 but isntead it's the opposite about 30/70. No MTX so they get huge respect and a thumbs up.

Easily the best survival crafting RPG I've ever played. Last time I got this hooked was TESIV Obvlivion. fantastic. Also, no mtx. I wish the levelling were much slower and the max level would allow for every skill to be obtained. There are also lots of ingredients that arent really useful and they shower you with far too many bones, linen, scrap, etc.

The UI is just too poorly implemented and there is far too little guidance on how to play.

Can't even beat the first boss because the games parry and off balance system makes no sense. Playing as the guy who starts with nothing because why would i want to start at anything other than level 1 and with a bunch of gear? that makes no sense. The boss is literally impossible as this guy.

No tutorial, the game just plops in and youre suppose to know what to do for some reason?

Even aside from the HORRENDOUS performance on PC, bugs, lack of FOV, lack of HDR, lack of ultrawide, lack of gamma slider, and rampant wokeness etc. The game is just bloated, aimless and feels like a chore. The environments are so massive and mazelike, with floor to ceiling of clutter. 95% of my play time is staring at the ground and desks for what things I need to pick up and what I don't, more is NOT better in this case. 80% of the junk laying around should NOT have been able to be picked up. Being over encumbered is just a way of life in this game. There are far too many gun drops that are mostly garbage but even the ones that aren't are only ever partially better is some ways but worse in others which makes it completely unsatisfying. The armor/weapon modding system may as well not even exist since I don't see why you would ever mod a weapon when you'll be getting showered with dozens of them. You'll have so many quests so soon and suddenly you'll forget entirely what they even are. The scanning of planets, resources, and flora/fauna is painful and poorly implemented. The inventory management between yourself, companions and your ship is tiresome and far too difficult. The pacing is just all off. Easily Bethesda's weakest next to F76 obviously. UPDATE: oh ya Barrett is gay....because of course he is. Also, the game has WAY too much meaningless boring dialogue. Every time you visit a new city or planet prepare to sit through hours of dialogue and conversations. It's BORING.

Dev studio has been shut down due to this disaster and it's now abandoned.

mtx galore

After decades you STILL can’t effectively play this game at anything higher than 1080p. You can’t resize many aspects of the UI. Item icons? Nope. Item tooltips? Nope. Character panel or bags? Nope. For any new player playing at anything above 1080p it makes it impossible see a damn thing. Can’t believe such a glaring issue still hasn’t been solved despite so many crying for it. It keeps me from playing or recommending the game.
