Amazon/ UPS took its time, delivering my LE at 7:30pm, but after 3 hours of play I know where I'm at with NMS.
I started on a POS world, desert like with high level of radiations and agressive fauna. Scarce deserted shelters, radioactive red dust blown by tne wind seemingly droppng my survivability more often than not...
And I LOVED every second of it.
Giant Alien-like rock formations looming over me, caves tempting me to go explore but having to pace my shield and survivability... Really weird flora and fauna (seeing a beast chasing a smaller one, and also realizing that some beasts are territorial and will only chase you if you are near certain things or damaging certain things is really cool).
There is always another icon indicating a possible point of interest... I could have stayed on that hell-hole for another 2 weeks and barely make a dent.
Then I decided it was time to go ... And Man, it only even got better from there.
Everything was pretty much exactly as I hoped and then some. Only slight critique: at times the generated scenery can seem low quality, specially when compared to the hand designed outposts and space stations, but when fauna and flora are denser, you would not notice.
Amazing game... And looking forward to spending unkempt more hours in it.
Thank you for the memories Hello Games, and I'm only starting!
