TL:DR: The game is boring, looks bad and has overall bad gameplay and in my opinion, wasn't worth buying at half the price.

I had never tried this game before, I bought it on a sale (50% off) during the promotion of the NEXT update. I have played it for about 9 hours. And I am 100% posetive that it was not worth it at half price.

The game looks very bad, even after 2 BIG updates, the game doesn't look like it was promoted to look like. Every planet looks the same, very boring and sad. It's just the same over and over again, every planet looks like melted plastic, since the game is procedurally generated, so there is no detail at all (If you expect any of that). This is kinda sad, since the game is about exploring, but there is nothing to explore at all, everything looks the same, and everything looks bad.

The gameplay is really bad aswell, the flying in the spaceship feels very wrong, the gunplay is crap, so fighting sentinels is useless. Which brings me to the next point: Sentinels, they are just so anoying and unecessary, you can't do anything to them, or around them, because they will start to fight you, and if you kill them, they'll send more in a GTA type system, where you become more and more wanted, and they send tougher and tougher enemies at you. There is no way to escape them, unless you enter a freighter or a spacestation. That means that if there aren't any freighters or spacestations in the vecinity of the planet you're at, you have two options: Die and reload a save, or fly to the nearest spacestation (which could be hours away).

This game contains a lot of tools, these tools will be provided to you early in the game, after that, all you'll do is to make those items better. Take the spaceship for example: you're provided with a decent spaceship at the start of the game, but you'll constantly have to make it better (make it able to jump from star-system to star-system is an example of this) untill you're able to buy another spaceship, which you'll have to do the same to. When you break it down, this entire game centers around grinding to get better stuff, which you'll use to grind to get even better stuff. That makes the game even more ridiculous in my opinion.

In my opinion, this game fails at everything it tries to be, the exploring is bad, since there is nothing to explore, the crafting is bad, because there is no real reward to it, it's like you've climbed a hill, only for it to be a bigger hill after that.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME

This might be the best survival game I've ever played.

The survival mechanics are great, both crafting, building and finding food is fantastic.

The enemies are amongst the coolest I've seen, they are so lifelike, they react in a specific way no matter what you do to them. They also become gradually harder to beat, and send more and more after you the more of them you kill, unless you chop 'em up and make decorations out of them.

The story also got me, it was sooooo much better than I expected. Initially, I just thought it was this lame thing you could do to get better stuff, making the survival aspect easier, but after a while, you start to realize that there is much more to this game than you'd expect (atleast what I expected).

Overall, this is a great game, easily makes it to the top of my survival games list, and definitly top 10 games I've played of all time.

This game is great! The humor is top notch, the gameplay is great (it has different difficulty modes) and it is fun for the whole family!

The story was better then the original game. If you are a fan of the Bioshock series and already own Bioshock 2 I think you should buy this one too.

This game is amazing and if you ask me every person should have played this game. The story is amazing and the DLC's connects the 3 games together.

Awsome

Would you kindly play this game?

This game is great lots of fun! But after a while you get sick of the fact that the only thing you can do is drive around and blow stuff up.

I think this game is awsome, BUT I hate the fact that "the morrigan" is that small i mean that the boats just get smaller so i think that in the next game you command a little schooner.

Great re-make. I hope they make a remake of opposing force and blue shift too.
