If this wasn't coming from a nearly half billion dollar squandering piece of vaporware that's enriching a family of grifters, I could see this as a brilliant teaser for a space sci fi Lovecraftian horror game.

      hell, No Man's Sky had a complete turnaround from the joke it initially was and is now very fun to my dumb brain

          Yeah, I found the opening of it really tense - like "wait what where do i go oh SHIT THIS ISN'T OXYGEN AND THE STORM IS RADIOACTIVE"

          and then it becomes peaceful spore creature scanning simulator

      And Elite Dangerous if you're into trucking simulators (if your truck traveled at multiples of the speed of light and was armed with 4 chainguns and heat seeking missiles)

        I want to go around stomping Thargoids, but I just can't get past the learning curve of the game. Space sims really arent my jam. I like my space games arcade-y and full of pew pew pew lasers and explosions

          Rebel Galaxy is pretty fun and straightforward in execution (also cheap especially when on sale), the sequel Rebel Galaxy Outlaw still needs some fixes though
