Before you buy.
The in game tutorial is crap.

I think you stated that on the video also but tbh I had no issue with it. Its a great game and tutorial was fairly simple if I remember correctly. Id ask some questions and do some research before making such a judgement. If you cant get it to work you also have the refund option. Enjoy :)

Too late Ive owned the game for ages, but never sat down and played until now...
Doing research to p[lay the tutorial.... Shouldnt the tutorial teach you how to play the basics?

Well for me it did tbh. Im not sure what area you are having trouble with. I think if you can get past it...then its a great game

Game is pretty easy to learn honestly, it just doesn't hold your hand. Most of the tutorials are text-based, using the mission system. You just have to read, isntead of some NPC talking to you or big shiny arrows on the UI.

I understand ppl can have trouble with it, in this day and age a lot of people just want everything spoonfed and can't even get to the local grocery without a GPS despite living there for 10 years. FWIW if you don't have much time to play games it's preferred.. "Just show me what to do real quick" - works for the most part.

But games that dont hold your hand, and make you have to work a bit to understand them, are very rewarding. I guess it's just a matter of expectations.

There's plenty of games that I've spent countless hours in, which were way more complex than this one. I guess coming from games like X series, privateer, space engineers, elite dangerous etc this game is super easy to grasp.

Also the tutorial isn't crap, like i said, it just requires reading comprehension. You know, instead of flashy arrows and talking npcs that everyone is used to.

Very much agree with you. A little patience goes along way. And coming from the X series....this is not hard lol. Its a real hidden gem :)
