I paid $10 for it and its still not worth it.

After about 7 hours I have yet to find anything remotely fun in this game. Flying around the cosmos with my phone in my hand and instagram open, landing on a planet to do content and immediately getting a colonoscopy from a local because of an arbitrary rule that was never explained, then shunted half a galaxy away to prison and expected to fly back to where you're buddies set up.

Who in their right f*cking mind would spend their time being a digital postman when they could play/do literally anything else.



This is the first game in a long while where I've genuinely felt like I was wasting my life while playing.

Oh and f**k you for making NPCs pull us out of hyperdrive and kick us 4x times further from the destination than we started, and f**k you again for making them do it 2-4 times in a row on the same trip. Not even kidding when I say I've been trying to get to one planet (while in its system) for FORTY F**KING MINUTES.

*Edit: Up that to 6 times, and an hour and a f**kin half. I'm trying to get to ONE planet to pick up ONE package to cash it in for mission-reward only resources. Finally got there, but my cargo scoop didn't pick up the objective, so my ship touched it and instantly destroyed it, failing the mission. Which I think is a good metaphor for this game. Spend 2 hours getting the setup to go do a mission, an hour or so trying to do it, and getting nothing in the end but playtime on your steam account.



Theres just nothing to enjoy in this game. Traveling is tedious and buggy, even the "assist" causes you to overshoot 70% of the time (don't worry, the game puts you in a short timeout (FCL Cooldown) after every piloting mistake you dare to make, even though their autopilot repeatedly attempts to land my ship upside-down). The ground combat has AI so braindead that you can mag dump and kill 3 of them before the 4th one thinks to turn toward you. The game itself is so complicated you need to have 8 tabs open on the companion site to do simple things. The UI is erratically designed and makes little sense at times why something is where it is; and the long pauses between any action is really annoying. Why yes, Id LOVE to watch EVERY. SINGLE. GUN. get mounted and the old one removed while you lock my menu for the duration of the animation.

61 hours in and not getting any better; but this is what all my buddies are playing this month so either I swallow another spoonful of sh*t or sit in the corner alone with a box on my head until they get bored of it.

Do you think the devs are happy that Steam rejected my refund request I made after my first 4 hours?
