Yep! 1000+ hours across PC, Steamdeck and Switch 1.
I just enjoy wandering and discovering, and looking for the perfect planet. I’ll occasionally try variant survival saves, like freighterless (using exocraft for additional summonable storage).
I don’t mind the corvette ship designing feature, but I enjoy discovering and acquiring the procedurally generated ships more, or journeying to a location from NMSCE which has a particular ship or multitool.
I like that the game mechanics aren’t wholly intuitive - it occasionally adds surprise, like finding the settlement towers have a once-a-day scan function or that a particular foodstuff in the nutrient ingestor can increase mining yields.
It’s enjoyable, but I’ve never been really engaged with it. There’s no progression, I don’t feel like my character, equipment, or ships are getting better even though I’m upgrading things. No planet is special, even though they’re all unique.
I think it would be better if you started out in a “settled” region with interesting factions, hand-designed planets, optional quest lines, etc. The infinite procedurally generated stuff would come into play if you push beyond the edges of known space.
ialways come back to it when i want something chill. i am building a corvette to be a flying greenhouse, and spend too much time fishing and cooking lol
I restarted “Edna and Harvey: The Breakout”. Partly because I wanted to play it for a long time and partly because my pc is too weak for bigger stuff. Already started it some years ago, but took a break from the game which was a bit too long to get into it again. So now I finally restarted and am verry happy with it. The dialogues and the design is just fun. Also it is quite relaxing.
It was alright but it felt like the flight mechanics was on rails compared to like Elite or x4. I got my money’s worth and may come back in the future but it never really got it’s hooks in me.
I also decided to give Final Fantasy VII Rebirth another chance, this time going only for the story. It’s a much better game this way even if it still feels a bit bloated. It does feel wrong tho to just ignore most of the map, even if I know it’s empty.
I was trying to finish the post Endwalker quests in Final Fantasy XIV to get to Dawntrail, but I’m not really feeling it. I’m probably burnt out on the game due to playing it for 500 hours last year.
No, I’m not a No Man’s Sky fan. I’m a recovering No Man’s Sky addict. If retirement exists in the future, I hope this game still exists, cuz I’m gonna ruin whatever remains of my life with it.
All the Game Awards chatter and the current sale made me take the plunge on Clair Obscur" Expedition 33 and I’m so glad I did. Only ~8h in or so but it is such a vibrant, wild world to explore and it makes me think of the classic JRPGs I played growing up. The introduction of more active battling mechanics like parrying and dodging adds a level of complexity to the combat that I enjoy, even if I cannot for the life of me get the parry timing right.
Steam Deck took a couple minor tweaks to make it look good and the hair effects still are a bit janky (eg. Gustave’s hair will light up from a light source making it look grey). The soundtrack is phenomenal and was the first time in a long time that I’ve wanted to buy a game soundtrack (this battle track in one of the early areas cemented this as something special to me).
Super worth it and excited to dive in deep on this one.
