considering the games studio, the world is going to be dead and empty, borning+tedious to explore beyond an initial “wow so purdy” and the gameplay loop is going to be designed by someone who has no idea what fun is. hello games fundamentally has no idea how to design a good game, all the updates in the world can’t fix that. NMS is about as complex as candy crush, except the grind isn’t fun.

It’s sad because it could have been such a great game.
