A game that started off as an absolute mess but is actually pretty damn fun now. It also looks amazing if you have a rig that can handle it.

How does New Vegas work but FO3 takes an act of god to get running for more than 5 minutes...

Ah well.... anyway...

It's great. Maybe one of the best. If you haven't played it and you like this sort of game... looting, exploring, questing, lots of dialogue options... this is for you.

It's a good game that feels like it's missing some of the soul of it's predecessors. The dialogue system is lacking, they've sincerely harmed their own mod community, and some of the games longer loops are tedious at best, like setting up and managing settlements, a process that has a lot to it but doesn't feel in any way satisfying to do.

For the price it's going for these days? If you haven't played it it's definitely worth it, and the story does have some interesting parts to it. If you're a fan of the series, it's got plenty you'll enjoy despite it's shortcomings.

No controller support. No good.

I started with a positive recommendation for this game.

Then EA laid off most of the team that made it.

There was already the issue with most of the multiplayer maps being average at best, balance issues with guns making it so that you could either look up the best kitting for your gun or suck wind, but now? ♥♥♥♥ em.

Don't support the greed, especially not that it's being upkept by a skeleton crew that are less and less likely to fix the game and more and more likely to just put out battlepass driven cash grab garbage.

That team gave you a huge release. 7 million copies sold in 3 days and now up to 20 million sales... and you thanked them by dropping people on their asses.

Shame (rings the bell). Shame.

The game excels as a resource harvesting, base building and crafting kind of game.

The sort of game that goes:

"Hey, you need to get the carbon to make the SUPER carbon, which you'll add with this other metal to make this new metal, and then you'll take that new metal and add this OTHER metal to that... and boy... that's when ♥♥♥♥ really starts to pop off..."

If you're into that sort of thing, then ♥♥♥♥ me, No Man's sky is going to blow your mind.

Just don't expect the fighting to wow you, because they linked power scaling to enemy power, meaning the stronger you get, the harder your enemies become, which is just the most idiotic ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing ever. If you don't get why, do me a painful favor and buy the game, find the best weapon in the game, get it as strong as the game will allow, and then fight an enemy. Now grab the worst gun you can and fight the same enemy and cry over how much easier it was with the janky gun you found in the dumpster vs your god tier masterpiece you spent a ridiculous amount of time working on.

^ that ♥♥♥♥? That ♥♥♥♥ right there? That ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks, Hello Games.
You gotta work on that.
That's poor decision making, regardless of the reasons behind it.

Anywho, it's still a good game, and it goes on sale regularly, so I'd grab it when it does. The rest of the game has a lot to offer, even if that one decision makes me curse the sun for the day it shone it's rays on the earth and gave possibility to my existence.

Climb mountain.

Get items.

Climb more mountain.

Avoid the cold maybe?

And climb more mountain.

Reenact The Lion King.

Climb more mountain.

Bring friends.

It's fun.

Climb mountain.

Coming in fresh to golf games, it's fun.

It's as grindy as... well what do you know... every other ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sports game around these days, so don't be shocked there.

New club? grind for it.

New ball? ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ grind for it, you stupid ♥♥♥♥♥.

That's really all the game is. Go out, play a round, get some coins for it.

Go out, play a challenge, get some coins for it.

Go out, find some cheaters in the ranked play. Get some coins for it.

It's really that simple. Enjoy it for what it is, and don't expect them to do anything about cheating just like every other multiplayer game in existence.

It's golf. Whack the ball. Suck at it. Whack the ball again.

The hell? When did I play this game?

I... Uh... putting... friends... golf.

It's fine.

It's not worth 240 gigs of space. I wish they figured that out.
