    Forgot the link!

    It's actually a good article that can serve as a review as well:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comme...on_a_big_list/

    It breaks down all the things that were marketed that are not in the game. More or less, the entire gameplay was fabricated in the marketing. What was delivered is just not really close to the game that HelloGames talked about at all, except visually.

    It's now 4 player co-op. Its a bit of a grind to start because use you have to do a lot of mining and refining to maintain and upgrade your ship but I've just had one of those punch the air gaming moments which I haven't had since Mass Effect 1.
    Great game IF you have the time.

    Anyone still play this? I was very late to the party after picking it up last year on Steam but it's a pretty decent game when I'm in the mood to play it, I never saw all the early bugs and what people were saying were broken promises so it didn't sour the experience for me. You definitely get a sense of wonder at times when you first hurtle through the atmosphere and land on an undiscovered planet, exiting your ship and taking in your surroundings before exploring. It's just a shame there isn't more going on with each planet as they are often quite samey with variations of the same creatures and plants. I've got a HTC Vive VR set up as well so playing it through that adds even more to it, it's pretty cool just coming to a stop out in space and sitting there looking around your cockpit and at the planets or starships around you and asteroids floating past.

    I can imagine that with a VR set it's a pretty neat break. But the repetetiveness was so apparent in the first release that I don't think I'll ever be able to come back to it and enjoy it.
