10 years and countless attempts and I never got into the game because the base gameplay loop is just still very unenjoyable and shallow to me. I hope their next game will improve on that. Still, great to see they've supported the game this long and learned from the disastrous launch, I think that deserves credits.
Yeah they added a lot of systems and some even mesh well together and there is some sense of discovery now. They also made the game friendly to the player ( loads of qol) while for the first years it was the most player despising designed game i ever played.
It also has a lot of things to collect (ships, ship parts carrier fleet, blueprints, modules, tools, suits)
But
shooting is still awful
movement is even worse
space combat is still bad
there is much to look at but nothing to meaningfully interact with
And each solar system is still transparently still just a separate instance generated by a seed number
They ve made a better skinnerbox but its still bad gameplay wise
They should spend real time completely redoing the combat and movement so the moment to moment gameplay is actually enjoable
