  • CygnusZero4-1

    NMS is fun for about 5 hours, until you realize the gameplay loop is just collect resources, travel, collect resources, travel...

    There's not much to do here. It's a good framework to be used for a sequel where they make an actual game that is very fleshed out, but right now it just seems like a really big tech demo.

    This is an indie game made by only 15 people so Im not going to knock it. Its not a big AAA title like GTA that has up to 300 people working on it for 5 years, but there needs to be a LOT more to do to hold my attention for 30+ hours.

    • Also there is really just a set amount of planet types. Its not limitless at all. And the fact that youre doing the same thing on each one...CygnusZero4
    • ... im really looking forward to the sequel now that they have the foundation built. Needs to be tons of more mission types.CygnusZero4
    • Right now its like a really big version of Mass Effect with significantly less to actually do in it. Very big, not much depth to it.CygnusZero4
    • This is exactly what I feared. And I dunno why anyone else doesn't think it was going to like this from day one.dopepope
    • I hear 'limitless universe' and I hear randomly generated from preexisting set of variables. Everything is basically the same, maybe dif color.dopepope
    • Sounds fun to me and should never have been hyped to be more than a fun indie game like journey.inteliboy
    • Well the planets arent just palette swaps, but they are definitely limited in what youre going to see. Limited amounts of wild life types.CygnusZero4
    • The foundation is very cool, but there needs to be a LOT more of everything. Planet types, creatures, missions, secrets...CygnusZero4
    • you feeling okay CygnusZer04? unlike you to give a reasonable review? :-)Bluejam
    • I don't think they intend to do a sequel, just build upon this massive canvas of a universe that they have created.Bluejam

    • weird, it seems like you ignored all the stuff elahon enjoyed about the game, from interacting with locals, trading, etcmonospaced
    • Of course theyre going to make a sequel.CygnusZero4
    • Agreed all around Cygnus, was really cool for about 15 hours, now is kind of underwhelming

    • Also, agreed about the mass effect comment
