The game is a 7/10 now that the servers are fixed, it will get better with time but never buy a game off future promises.
I enjoyed :D

I've played through this game 4 times (3 with friends) and I'm currently on a new game plus run.
The story isn't very good.
The gameplay on the other hand is some of the most engaging I've ever played, and the story missions put you in interesting enough situations to make sure actual missions aren't boring as hell. The game is worth playing for sure.
Now for a rant on the story.
The idea of choices effecting the in game world is pretty good idea but alot of the choices are more morally negative then others but offer more fun gameworld benefits. Specifically at the end of the game theirs a choice that has permanent ramifications to how end game works but the morally correct decision (its obvious the person is lying to you about the bad guy choice) makes an area way more lame to traverse. being a good guy ruins the end game even though after the finale alot of the choices done is those missions are reverted (except for that one). As much as being a bad guy comes with benefits is a cool concept, since the game is so morally grey even in the bad dude decision it feels like a slap in the face for not being a ♥♥♥♥. To get the best/good ending you need to not be a ♥♥♥♥ but to be a ♥♥♥♥ means cool new area. I believe the reason it was like this is cus the game was originally gonna have part of the climax not be an end point, the game was originally gonna be longer and have that be the start of another act. That almost makes the explantion as to how Aidens personal goal feels rushed in certain parts with a bit of an odd ending.

Managing an arcade and becoming a billionaire through free pizza nights and 3 token offers yearly while avoiding taxes by spending my profits on more dancers and fully sized tanks is more then enough to keep me invested in a game. Fun, lighthearted, and relaxing. Would love more content but I am more then pleased with what i've got

This game engages at every level. By far the best roster of any fighting game and it handles like a dream.

Its Aight

The game is great it's fun to turn on and just play, a very good alternative to just going the ♥♥♥♥ outside. But the DLC is so overpriced. When the game was on sale the add on that let you live in a city that was 2x the price of the base game. That just does not make sense and is ridiculous until you see the publishers. The developers though, care, and still put new updates out with new overpriced (EA fault) DLC. I still recommend this game and the base content can easily get 10 hours out of you. If its on sale (which it regularly is) pick it up.

This game is worth it, especially on sale.
From a sheer content standpoint it is densely packed.
There is anything and everything from grinding for the god roll ship, to filling your garden to make 100 million every 12 hours. Each purchase in game each item crafted, is constantly improving your player.

Hello Games have put genuine effort into making this the game they wanted it to be and that doesn't just show but, it is DELIVERED.
No Mans Sky meets the expectations that were once set for it, in some cases even surpassing it.

At 4 Hours In I Said "Fantastic Game I Can't Wait To Sink My Time Into"
At 24 Hours In There Is Still So Much To Do And So Much To Master
This game has become a morning routine for me, just one run every morning and I most likely will say "Just one more" a few times after that. This is one of the best games I have ever played. IT ISN'T EVEN COMPLETE YET
The ending is fantastic and adds more replayability to the experience, wrapping a 24k gold bow on this already diamond encrusted middle market game.

I wouldn't say I like games that even resemble this, with die restart mechanics like enter the gungeon or binding of isaac. I would never seek out a "roguelike" type game. But this game popped up and boy am I glad I forked over 25$.
The developers Super Giant Games have never made a bad game. All of them are critically acclaimed and this is no different. The developers are so active in the discord jumping in on conversations at any time.
The music is exceptional, Darrren Korb has made every Super Giant Games soundtrack and they are all pure gold.
His music gives the perfect tone to accentuate the deep lore, phenomenal art design, and intense combat.
This game Is a must buy At 25 dollars (at time of writing) and if it is on sale you should purchase without a second thought. These developers deserve more praise for the amazing games they've made. Darren Korb deserves more praise for his fantastic music with Ashley Barrett deserving the award for best vocals on any game soundtrack.

It's really buggy. It does ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ smack though.
