I’ve played many games and been a big gamer my whole life, some classics I enjoy are sonic, Zelda ocarina of time, Dante’s inferno, dead space, Halo etc etc etc.
I bought this game as I was starting to get really bored with a lot of stuff out there just being reiteration after reiteration of the above classics, and I was doing heavy searching for something new and exciting... well what did I find...
I found a game that I played for 48 hours straight the first day I started... it’s super amazing game with a lot of moving parts and learning involved and I’ve not even scratched the surface!!! I’m at 100hrs so far and I still feel like every day is a sort of progression in the game, there isn’t any real “progression” system or quest etc. but trust me this game has a progression system... it’s called learning how the hell to make ships and designs fly how to manage resources and collect more faster etc etc... the other day I just learned how to program drones to go mine for me and dig straight holes that tunnel down! 10x my resource collection just because I designed something efficient enough to do it! I felt like I had leveled up in the game haha.... and I have my first large shop design I created freestyle in survival mode on an official server... I didn’t get the air tightness right on the ship but it flys and I made it to space and it’s actually a really cool set up, but now I want bigger and air locks so I have a next goal. Another guy on the server is gunning for me and we are playing cat and mouse which is also fun as hell.
So what I mean to say is it’s one of the best games I ever played... came out 2013 and I feel it’s ahead of every other game that’s come out this year and it’s 2019 about to be 2020 after this month. I hope you get this game and play the hell outta it. You won’t regret it. I’m personally working on creating an esports esque game mode with much faster resource collecting rates and small planets that have a timer on when every teams gps coordinates are broadcasted to others on the planet for a battle royal death match! This game can still and will go a lot farther!
