This game is great for the exploration-based survival craft gamer. You really get a sense of personal investment as you see the planet develop and change based on your progress, and the rewards for the long-term goals are impactful... you really feel like you've accomplished something when you no longer have to worry about running out of water, or racing the clock against your air supply.

The only disappointment is that the world is a static thing; while the resource locations may be scrambled, and you might start on a different landing site, the terrain itself is always the same (outside of the DLC second planet). All of that is New Game gripes though; for the first play, it's full of wonder and mystery, and absolutely worth the ride!

I'd also personally love to see VR support added, even as a paid DLC. This is one of those games like Subnautica (which has VR support), where full-immersion would *greatly* enhance the overall experience.
