Dead game, don't buy it, it's buggy and not worth the $6

So to start off with, I have to say THIS GAME IS AMAZING. Not just in a fanboy type of sense, this game manages to be a very solid survival game with a pretty unique gameplay loop and lots of variety when it comes to playstyles and environments. Sure, the grind can be a bit much at times, though it's quite a bit more forgiving than many other games, a short break is all you really need to be back to having fun in-game. The game in my opinion is best played with friends as you will all progress much faster, though if you don't have any to play with you can still enjoy it if you play in short bursts. The continued dev support 3 years after the 1.0 release has also been great as they've been adding more content to the game at a consistent pace, with each update adding new ways to enjoy the game as well as some story and free cosmetics. The inclusion of microtransactions for some cosmetics (which are not cheap in the slightest) is a bit sad to see, though if that is what's necessary to keep getting quality updates years after release it's worth it, and well there's nothing really forcing you to spend money on it since the base game gives a pretty wide array of options to begin with, so you can easily just ignore it.
PROS
-Nice visuals
-Pleasant artstyle
-Varied planets
-Fun exploration
-Fairly challenging
-Lots of content
-Unique soundtrack
-Super atmospheric sound design
-Great replay value
-Still receiving significant content updates
-Intruiging story threads
CONS
-Frame drop during takeoff and landing with spacecraft, teleporting and when using vehicles (might just be me)
-Limited backpack storage can lead force you to make several round trips which can get tedious quickly
-Fast travel system can be a pain to use (though the new trains can fix this pretty easily)
-Some annoying bugs surrounding gravity, terrain and one questline
-Some of the additions in the recent updates can make the game significantly easier (this is a problem for those who were already dissatisfied with the changes in hazards when the game left early access)
EDIT 1: So as I mentioned that my pc is not very good and that the performance may be an issue, but I managed to recently fix the problem by looking in the game files, so the game runs without any problems
Here's a video I found with instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe2MMQjMrmA
EDIT 2: So after a recent update, the devs added a graphical options menu, that helped improve the performance so you don't need to go into the engine.
EDIT 3: Just some changes to the pros and cons since the game has come out of Early Access
EDIT 4: Updated the full review once again to reflect the current state of the game as of 2022
Overall pretty fun game, thats still getting better - 9/10
