I’ve seen videos and some articles that have complained about NMS being an “overglorified base building game” or “next gen minecraft” but I can’t even believe that people would take that opinion given the amount of content in the game!!

I’m 20ish hours in, have a pretty shitty square base that just holds my base computer save point and storage units, and the story of the game + exploring planets and documenting fauna alone has been MORE than worth the 60 dollars I’ve payed for this game.

Not only that, I’m not even close to getting to the center of the galaxy, hell I haven’t even found Artemis yet (if that actually happens?) and I already feel as if I’ve gotten my money’s worth just from the story and exploration alone.

All this being said, 20 hours of story and insane exploration to not even be halfway through the game, not even having a new ship yet, and I’m blown away that I’d seen people label it as a base building game. Totally ridiculous!!!

NMS rules.

So I was one of the people who was super hyped to play NMS, I was very active on this sub as well before release. Sadly I gave up after just a few hours into the game and refunded it on steam. I kept hearing about the updates that happened but never gave it a second look. Well after I got bored of Starfield after 60 hours, completing all quest lines and not likening the copy-paste planets, I saw NMS on sale and said why not.

Whoa

This game is insane, I am only 6 hours in now and wow, this is so much to do and see. I don’t have a ton of time to play, but I am putting all of free time into NMS, I love the difficulty settings as this is my new chill game to play with a glass of wine. Every planet is fun and new, base building is actually rewarding and the quests are great. I am very happy to see this game really come together after all these years. Yes, the learning curve is crazy high, but it’s well worth learning it.

Glad I came back to NMS, it’s a visual and relaxing treat.
