The gameplay is dull, shallow and technically flawed, and its not like the story is super engaging either. Theres the occasional small-scale encounter that works well, but these alone arent enough to warrant a recommendation. I told one of my friends this afternoon to avoid buying the game, so not recommended seems about right. Hell, the fact I stopped playing after only 6 hours should give you an idea of how quickly this game loses its appeal. Its a shame because I know how good space games can be, its just that this one didnt quite cut it. One day, man, well have a No Mans Sky that doesnt suck”
