There are so many negative reviews of this game, I figured to come on here & throw in some feedback.

My specs: WIn 10, i7 4790K, 980 Ti, 24G DDR3.

The only problem I've had was the game not running smoothly at 2560x1440 -- while *simultaneously* streaming. Switched to Borderless Fullscreen, 1080p & turned VSync off. Runs smooth after that.

As far as the gameplay goes, it's exactly what I expected of the game. Keep in mind I've been ignoring the vast majority of information outside of E3 trailers, etc, because I prefer to get my info while playing and not allowing the hype to get to me. With that in mind, here are my feels:

Pros:

- This game is GORGEOUS. I love the fact that its not the standard browns & greens, and its genuinely a beautiful game.
- The variety of things to find is magical. The creature combinations are NUTS. I found a planet that had FLYING EELS FOR BIRDS.
- The survival aspect of the game is light enough that its not nonstop fixing/healing on all planets. Some require more work and more gear to balance, but its background for the MOST part.
- The crafting is pretty cool.
- If you don't have enough Exosuit slots, look for Outposts!

Cons:

- The Procedural Generation *can* show itself after a few planets, but the devs are showing themselves to be working on new content.
- Some of the space flight is unyieldly. When this happens, you can slow yourself down to make it a bit easier to control.

Last Word:

The game is exactly what I expected it to be after going in with minimal hype. If you enjoy exploration & survival games, don't hesitate to give this one a chance. :)

Hey Deejay you may want to revisit this now that it has VR and additional features!

On a 980Ti? That's great, I've been running the 960 and Mobo's generic graphics chipset for as long as I can remember, should be able to crank out 1080 gaming of this title, will see.

Just throwing this out there, I've paid for this game on multiple platforms, enjoy it & it works for me. If you don't like that, IDGAF. :steammocking:
