I've been waiting for a while for this game, and got it for PC. Unlike a lot of others, I've had no issues - one time in my 20 hours of play time it's crashed to desktop, but it wasn't a big deal as my game had saved pretty recently (saves whenever you exit your ship).

I tried to avoid watching TOO many videos of the game so that I wouldn't know everything about it before playing. As the dev has said, it's a pretty chill game - you do a lot of exploring, running around gathering resources and crafting items. If you're on the fence about the game, watch a few videos of the gameplay, it will give you an idea of what the game is all about.

It's a very pretty game. I quickly increased the max fps setting (not sure why that's there) and the game plays smoothly for me at 60fps (I have a pretty high end PC, Oculus ready). I've had a lot of fun with it, trying to explore whole planets (getting all the discoveries), checking out the different points of interest on planets, upgrading my exo-suit and ship... still lots to do!

I really like the game and will return to playing after I finish this. There's a few little nitpicks, like no planetary map, no custom waypoints, no system map, but these can all be fixed by a patch - minor annoyance. You don't have super control of your ship, so this shouldn't be seen as a ship flying sim per se, like Elite Dangerous, etc. I believe the gameplay is as advertised - if it looks like your kind of things, check it out!
