Video game thread

1. It is a near-pure procedural sandbox. It’s effectively 3D Starbound except with a decent (if equally minor) storyline. If you’re not about setting your own goals and making your own fun, it’s not the game for you.
    
2. Major - title - updates are notorious for breaking saves in some way, shape, or form. Deleting saves and starting fresh after title updates is not uncommon and has historically been encouraged. If you make it to the end of the “Artemis Path” of quests, the revelation of the real backstory makes it a little easier to suspend disbelief and understand this as part of lore canon. If you can’t accept that, your enjoyment will probably last one title update.
    
   If you like sandbox games that give you nothing and expect nothing in return (think raw Minecraft), with no linear story-play to speak of and the existential dread of playing in a universe that is larger than humanity has any legitimate chance to fully explore in a few lifetimes, then yeah it’s good. Especially so if you have a few friends that also play (doesn’t matter the platform, since it’s now true cross-platform). When I’m solo I make my fun playing the walking simulator, discovering new things and interesting permutations of environments, crawling derelict freighters (new to the most recent title update) and continuing the quest of finding my perfect planet while leaving a path of bases behind me while also seeking to discover an undiscovered “glitch” (as in a specific biome, not a bug) planet; with friends I enjoy helping them get their gear and build their bases, while knowing they’re benefiting from a launch-veteran’s experience to avoid potentially remaining critical bugs. But if you prefer clear goals or some semblance of linearity (such as the “golden thread” of quests in Elder Scrolls games) or fathomably-sized game worlds, then this just isn’t your game.

Sounds cool. And as long is it does run like a 3D Starbound, it should be okay (good god, is that game put together poorly).
