I desperately wanted to like it. I followed development, I watched streams of the beta weekends, and listened to all of the "performance improvements and big fixes" comments and felt like the full launch was the time to jump in.

I've got a hefty rig with an 11700k, 2080 Super and 64gb RAM and it still stuttered and hiccuped and would randomly lock up.

You need to click things multiple times sometimes til it registers, and the in game help leaves you needing a wiki to get the insight you need to actually survive and play.

It looks gorgeous when it's standing still and there's some amazing concepts in here. There's a super fun game buried under the issues and I hope they can find it. But this game isn't even close to ready for launch, or the team behind it isn't capable of fixing these issues. Fingers crossed it's the former and it will find itself turning into something amazing like No Mans Sky did.

But right now I've refunded it. There's thousands of other games to play that won't run like garbage.
