From a man struggling to survive, to a Freighter Captain, and Space Fleet Commander. Just a great game at this point hard to not play it.

Amazing visually, massive exploration, crafting/tech tree progression, good sense of growth for the player as you become able to explore a world larger than you can imagine. Partaking in pirate behaviour, building bases, exploring the universe, oh and jetpack jumping to your heart content.

Cons:
Inventory management system rough early
Can be a grind to get more/better ships and Freighters
Some repetitive game loops

Sadly my hype for the DLC was quickly washed out by the fact that all the QoL mods are bricked and the vanilla game is more bugged than previous patches. Just played nearly 2 hours to get an invincible Mythrix. Stealth drops are cool, but why release the DLC packed full of bugs?

Its kind of a spectrum game. You are either on it or you have a different flavour.

Huge improvement over the first title which I also heavily enjoyed. There is so much verticality in the world it feels massive. The story is wonderful but more importantly the feeling of growing stronger with your character kept me playing. Every parkour skill added was a new aspect of game play to try, each combat talent made you feel more powerful in a slow and steady fashion. With so much to explore this title has some replay ability as well. I got the bad ending as far as I am concerned but I made my choices!

Almost the perfect souls title IMO. It has all of the head bashing frustration you expect from a souls title, but with so many added QoL pieces it remains "Fun" for a less grindy player. The ability to fast travel, map markers/way point system, ball bearings from dead shop keeps, knowing NG+ offers a chance to fix that quest line/ending you messed up, etc makes this title digestible for the less hardcore player while still retaining the difficulty you expect from a souls title.

Took around 120 Hours for a completionist run. This could easily be shaved down to far less if you really push, but I enjoyed the environment, sounds, side quests, bonus armour sets/weapons, and dungeon puzzles along the way with many of my own mistakes. I look forward to running NG+ a few times to start reducing start to finish time and enjoying some PVP/Co-op with friends.

My GF and I played this through and really enjoyed. Without spoilers it is an engaging story that will have you wishing you could do EVERYTHING right. But the little blue butterfly has other ideas. :heart:

Very fun, Would buy again ;) All I can hope for is more updates post 1.0, new mobs/guns and maybe even more level options. If these things come true this title will have more than 100 hours of enjoyable content easily! Be weary this is a game that becomes so much better with a friend or 3 to enjoy it with but does offer an online match making option as well.

They have since added alot of content and I would say at least a few more hours of enjoyable time!

Have only just started myself. This title came with a lot of heat on release and many bugs. I let a few months pass and first sale grabbed the game. I know people hate triple A pricing but this is a visual masterpiece. Would recommend grabbing on sale.

Solid game steep learning curve. Lots of esports to follow for improvement

PROS

"Free"-Try not splurging when a 75% drops from the daily.

In depth movement mechanics and map traversing- ctrl,space,recycle

Gameplay builds with diverse Primary,secondary, melee, companions, frame abilities, mods, focus, arcanes, rivens and many more allowing for an insane amount of options to enjoy your play style.

Intersting Story in objective missions leading to a gradual power gain and access to various new tile sets on the navigation.

Both short and long playing sessions are of benefit. With dailies like focus cap reset, Sortie, Baro trader, special alerts, The Index, and trade limit even playing for 15-30 mins can offer up any thing from a few quick trades for platinum, Sortie rewards, Baro items, various resources and weapon blueprints, a large sum of credits in less than 1 hour.

Devs that stand behind their title and work hard to continully keep things fresh for new and old player bases

CONS
Most of the above mentioned takes time, like alot of time with a building system that can take between 12hr-72hr for weapons and frames. Blended with alot of encouragement to pay for ingame currency.

Very grindy (I enjoy but most see as a CON) Is filled with multiple resource and credit spends and lots of affinity needs meaning repetative re-running similar missions considered the best "farm"

Lack of direction. In the begining things are very much on either a research what the heck you need to be doing and how the game works or remain uninformed and make mistakes. This could include, selling items required for feautre blue prints, miss using or miss understading of how mods and frames/weapons interact, starchart clearing, affinity farming and many other time/money wasters.
