    They have NMS running very well with billions of planets. They should be able to make one good planet. Gameplay is where this game will succeed or fail.

      They have NMS running very well with billions of planets.

      Eh, more like 10, each with a couple of variations: grass world, toxic world, radioactive world, ice world, desert world, scorching desert world, volcanic world, dead rock world, anomaly world, swampy world.

      I also distinctly recall the game’s framerate taking a nosedive with nvidia drivers 421 or newer, some years ago. Standing still and moving the camera around would freeze several times. Using older drivers made the problem go away.

      Yeah, if it has the same base gameplay loop as NMS I already know I won’t enjoy it, no matter how many features are built on top of it.

    I think that the reviewer is missing the point that this is still just no man’s sky with a few tweaks and a different set of inputs. I look at this and the bones of no man’s sky are plain to me, the flesh there to see, just… tweaked.

    It’s fair to expect that all the lessons learned from no man’s sky will probably be applied here.

    I’m in. I’ll risk a broken heart for this.

    At this point everyone should know they just lie to see what they cam get away with and then see what actually needs to be delivered in the next years only to still have a boring game
