So, I only picked this up after the Next Update, to give a framework for this review.

After nearly a full day's play time, at the time of writing and submitting this review, I feel pretty good about the game. There are issues with the game, one of them being some samey generation of planets and systems, but I'm used to those types of issues with random generation in games focused on exploration and building, but I can overlook that easily in any game, something something, coding algorithms for that type of generation can spit out similar environments because of blah blah blah.

But the big thing about this game is that I can pop in and think to myself "Alright, one hour of exploration to see what I can find." Then look up to see that I've spent three or four hours without realizing that time passed. So that is the reason for my positive review, any game that I can get wrapped up in and have time pass without knowledge is a success in my book.
