The game is aggressively Bethesda but I'm enjoying the visuals and sniffing the 3d model of every insignificant bit of detritis in the world. I saw a very nice looking bowl, maybe THE bowl of all videogames. Other than that the narrative and main story has already lost my interest after about 10 minutes and I'll be off being a space menace if the game will let me.
Once i found out I can travel using the ship in scanner mode it doesn't feel like a map simulator anymore.
Also the chef having a perk for dueling tickles me.
Game also runs like shit on PC but digital foundry showed most settings being on medium yields good performance with no noticable quality loss.
ive been in a rut of only playing map/spreadsheet games. maybe this will get me out of it, i rlly want to shoot stuff and build custom spaceships
Kerbal Space Program will be your best friend if you haven't already played it
IDK if the new updates made it worse but the version right before they added a for-profit story mode was my favourite game of all time. Perfect amount of parts - not too many, pure orbital mechanics, creativity in problem solving and exploration.
Kerbal is extremely good. The first time you land on the Mun without scattering your rocket across the Mar Imbria feels *good. I learned so much about orbital mechanics 100% against my will. 10/10, would strand a rescue ship sent to rescue the rescue ship sent to rescue the rescue ship sent to rescue the rescue ship in orbit.
Hmm. X4 and Elite Dangerous both allow some customization of ships.
