There's a lot to like in this game, but the fact that 90% of the time I feel like the game is less and less in my control as the run goes on kills my enjoyment every time I try to play. Each run goes mostly the same: the start is okish, but each sector I feel like I'm just scraping by until one single encounter destroys me out of nowhere. Some people might find that fun, but the fact that I get rofl-stomped and have no response feels awful every time. At least in rouge-likes like Synthetik or BoI, if I'm behind on resources/upgrades I can try to make some clutch plays and survive hard levels. Here I just run until something kills me before I can run, or stand my ground and die. I've read quite a few things talking about the skill cap that allows you to succeed, but the RNG is still so heavy, and the frustration of getting anywhere close to that point so great, that I couldn't reasonably recommend this game to anyone ever.

I get my rig isn't exceptional, but the constant crashing and amount of memory this game eats is absurd. All servers crash as the game attempts to load, and now I'm looking at memory allocation errors in the debugger. Game consumes 3.5gb of my memory during all points of run time. Solutions found online did not aleviate the issues. The optimization needs to be looked at before this thing leaves beta, because this is abismal.
