I wouldn't base your decision on what Lemmy says. They're pretty unreasonably salty about the game. Reviews from players are very positive and the game's only $23 right now.

  • Despite what they're saying,, there is actually a lot of legitimately interesting and sometimes fantastical biomes and this update has added even more.
  • There are a lot of different parts of the game that you can pretty casually engage in. Various missions, settlements, settlement management, ship collecting, manufacturing, fleet management, trading, piracy, archeology, and more.
  • It's a relaxation game for me. Just hop on, pick a direction, and go. Do whatever piques your interest in the moment.

If "casual" and "relaxing" are dirty words for you, then it probably isn't up your alley. It's certainly not going to be intense and action packed (though it does have its moments). But it's a good game if you, like me, sometimes get tired of the sweaty online shit, crunchy brain melting games, and the overall weight of life in the real.
