    I played 10hrs on Steam then refunded.
    I was expecting a 2023 game with 12 years of development and 6 months delay for polish.
    I got Fallout 4 (2015) with scifi-skin.

    The thing that pissed me off the most:
    It’s not as open and “huge scale” as people seem to think it is. It’s kind of “fake open” if that makes sense. You cannot get into your ship and fly 800m east to your mission. If you do that, a new instance is loaded and your mission is not there. You have to run that 800m.

    Yeah. People have vastly different combinations of hardware and software. Different manufacturers and drivers. So it can be really different.
    If they play on pc, I mean.

    I seem to unknowingly have built myself a real shit-magnet of a computer. Basically no new game has worked well for me since I built that one.
    I had like 20 bad bugs per hour with Cyberpunk on release while my buddy had like one mildly annoying per 5h.
    Darktide just didn’t work at all. Kept crashing six months after release, then I gave up.
    Etc etc…

    I walk by a shelf and it randomly explodes from some physics glitch.
    Things forever rolling that should not be rolling, like books.
    NPCs just keep sprinting into a wall.
    NPCs stuck halfway through the floor, both alive and dead.
    Enemies teleporting into mountain, and can shoot me from there.
    Creatures not attacking when they should.
    Ships clipping into stations.
    My character stuck in a pose.
    Guns floating.

    Nothing game breaking though!
    Just immersion-breaking.

    Im more concerned about other stuff. Performance. Design choices.
    I get 37fps in towns with an “UFO rated” computer on userbenchmark.
    The menus are horrible.
    And what good does the spaceship do? I just fast travel everywhere. I think I’ve seen the inside of my ship twice i 10hrs.
    Story is the most lazily written, generic scifi tropey stuff I’ve seen.
    No maps. No clue where shops are.
    The game is marketed as huge and open, but in reality it’s all just setpieces with empty planet surfaces. You cannot get into your ship and fly 500m east to your mission marker. If you do that, a new map is loaded and none of your missions are there.
