State of the game?

[Barbarian]

I bought the game when it was released and have been waiting for it to develop further. I am just curious about the state of the game pr. today. What are your impressions?

(Yes, of course I can try myself. But right now I am playing Dying Light 2 and want to finish it before play another game. Still I appreciate your impressions with the game at the moment)

I like the game now. It has one of the biggest tech trees of any game I have played.

The ship battles (and whole ship mechanism) is kind of weak, but overall, I find this to be a very fun game.

Thanks for the insight :)

Not had it that long, it's a little prone to crash still but better than recently. The global map could do with expanding, as it's quite easy to run out of stuff to explore. The only thing I'd really say is it seems to lack an end to work towards, although it's not unique in that. I ended up on one game fabricating a challenge by deliberately flooding the coal mine and forcing to develop the other further away mine before the whole economy ground to a halt :)

I'm minded to recall Kerbal Space Program where your goal is to build a rocket and launch it, and that is actually the end of the game. Open-ended is fun but ultimately becomes boring, IMHO for the future it can do with either an end goal, or maybe a campaign with interim goals to reach, or maybe challenges that show up at certain points.

Overall though, still enjoying it. I'm doing a re-run of the new map (insula mortis) as I got to a point where the transport became too compromised. I'm rethinking the storage and manufacture so it uses more conveyors and fewer trucks.

The goal is the same here. Build a rocket and launch it. That is actually the end of the game. (for now?) :)

That said, KSP didn't end at launching the rocket... You need to fly it, too. With a bit of progression, the goal becomes to see if you can land that rocket on the mun. Or other planets. If you can't, you need to build a better one. And so on.
