It's the first time i want to write a review for a game i have played only two sessions of yet, but damn, emotions arrived quicker than expected and i finally understand the obsession that some friends are dragging with them for a lifetime about it. You must avoid all spoilers as possible to live it at the maximum quality immersion level that may make you cope by stress-eating dozens of burnt marshmallows at your camp while contemplating your own existence (positive)

But by avoiding to mention spoilers in most positive reviews, lots of people don't expect in this space exploration game full of fascinating family-sized handcrafted planets to have some gameplay exigencies that may be worth mentioning for some players ; notably the fact that many unexpected cosmic phenomenons are time-dependant with things like current planet placement in the galaxy, and it may require several retries to witness them as desired. You have to not be afraid of that (or learn to persevere on the spot) to truly enjoy the whole experience and quest for fascinating discoveries that makes puzzle out the lore.
Special mention for not featuring any unecessary distractions of collecting/crafting, and being all about seeing, going, meeting, and acknowledging.

The game feels both welcoming and friendly and doesn't forgive at all taking any life-threatening risks ! And leaving your native planet on a spaceship is one in itself. It's both a blessing and a curse. Prepare to die.

Now if my poor heart can take it, i have more alien worlds to explore and astronaut friends to meet :)
Update 7 hours later: Help, i am suffering a thousands death trying too hard
Update 30 hours later + the DLC: I am crying, i keep living so poetic things in the harshness of this universe.
