Nothing new to provide compared to others.

I heard about it when it was released in 2016, then of course followed how it had been receiving massive updates. I was on the fence about when to buy it. My brother made the decision for me and got it for my birthday.

I have a Valve Index so of course I played it in VR.

…. This game… is perfect in VR. As in, it works perfectly for a wide number of play styles. Motion controls work great so you could stand up while going through the game. And the motions controls are just perfect when walking across a planet collecting resources, when building a base… it just gives complete immersion, and they didn’t go the easy route with this. It’s as if they actually collected feedback from VR players to make it good.

It works great for a sitdown experience or a hybrid thereof, because you can constantly recalibrate the view.

Plug in and plug out using multiple inputs are supported, so if you’re like me and can’t really pilot the ship that well using the motion controllers, you can switch to a regular controller at any time.

​

And… what an experience that is flying a ship in full 3d turning your head to look around as you’re entering orbit, or flying along the surface of a planet…. I have NEVER seen anything like this.

About the actual game:

-I cannot believe how seamless the game switches space, going into orbit, or going to the surface without ANY loading screens. entering a space station, similar… This adds more than one can possibly imagine to the experience.

-I didn’t realise how big a planet was in NMS. Seeing videos, I assumed they were much smaller. But no, you can fly to the other side of a planet from the waypoint you need, and find you would need over an hour to get there with boost on.

I look at this and imagine one day setting up a base somewhere on a planet I like, and just staying there, exploring things to do, building tall, building up resources… taking a break…. (curious if other players have done this and think its doable

-variety of planets so far: poisonous, another covered by mostly water (and you can go underwater, crazy), desolate world…. curious what others have in store

-the universe, never mind the planets, looks huge. One feels so small playing it, while learning the ropes, deciding what resources to gather

I’ve barely done anything past the tutorial and am currently at the point after you gain fuel for the warp drive and the game tells you to just explore what you want in the Awakenings questline. I assume I can break away from it whenever.

From the official information for the Omega update:

The classic Atlas Path mission has been given a new breath of life, culminating in a final, consequential, choice. Witness the Atlas in all its grandeur, and decide whether to embrace the path it offers – or deny it. Either path will permanently impact your relationship with the Atlas.

But it turns out the “consequential choice” is the same one we already had, to birth a new star or not. The only difference is, from the same information page:

Players who decline the Atlas at the end of the Atlas Path are now awarded their own counterpart title and technology to those awarded for accepting its request.

Yay! A different title and technology. How that impacts your relationship with the Atlas, I have no clue. It’s not like I have any ongoing relationship with the Atlas, after having completed both the Artemis and Atlas paths.

The conclusion to the Atlas Path has been visually enhanced and reworked, to create a more spectacular finale.

I didn’t notice anything at all spectacular. There are some small differences, but nothing remarkable.

Choosing to birth a star or not marks the end of the path, now. The whole “go through a black hole to make the Atlas path go away” thing has been removed, which means that the Atlas path’s annoying habit of popping back up again until you go through another black hole has been fixed.

Well, not exactly fixed, but replaced by a new permanent mission in which you can present wonders to the Atlas:

Players who have completed the Atlas Path now have access to a repeating mission with which they can earn nanites and additional words in the Atlas language.

Those additional Atlas words aren’t worth anything if you’ve already completed the Artemis path. It used to be that you could review the log of the Atlas path, and the translated words of the Atlas would be filled in as you learned them. Learn the whole language, and you could understand everything that the Atlas had been telling you. Well, all except one word. The log of the Atlas path has been removed, so you can no longer review it.
