This is a great game but not those who seek a casual exprience or to have their hand held the entire way. This game is difficult and is supposed to be difficult. It is to simulate the desperation of the long journey home with a ship and crew that are not prepared for it. It is a great game that challenge you to balance risk and rewards in your decisions. How confident are you in your landing skill to get that one resources? All of this challenges make it more rewarding when you finally reach home.

Below is some of the common complain people have and my own opinion on the matter.

- Landing control is hard. To some degree, yes this is true. It will take time to learn the nuances of the control. Good news is, even with rogue difficulty, crash landing is mostly forgiving. You will just end up with a few less hull point, instead of you know, exploding. Learn from your mistakes.
- It is impossible to land on high danger planet. It is supposed to be impossible or almost impossible on planet with high danger rating, at least at first. You can, along your journey, install devices that nullify high gravity, high wind or extreme heat.
- Sometime the random seed gave me a bad start. Sadly that's the reality of a random generated universe. On the other side, you can try story mode, which tone down the difficulty in general or just reroll or find another seed from someone else.
- Stuff kept on breaking randomly. This is an abstract mechanism to simulate the randomness of space. This would be a very annoying, IF, one single part breaking down mean the end of your ship. It does not. You can have all of the devices broken down and you can still continue. It just mean that some function of your craft become less effective. This forced you to decide, do you want to continue on or find the nearest space port. This also play on the desperation of the journey. The ship wasn't design for this and yet it have to continue.

Ultimately, this game is designed in such way that you have to earn your fun through learning your mistakes and improving your decision making. If you do not like that, well then, this game isn't for you after all.
