[DFOnline] Boldly Go…

Got it for PS4. I’m about six hours in, and I’ve pretty much just been dicking around my first planet, finding aliens and upgrades and monoliths and learning languages and categorizing (and sometimes renaming) new species and plants and waypoints, with the occasional run to the nearest space station for a change in pace. There are at least three other planets in the current solar system I haven’t even yet set foot on because the first one is turning out to be so gigantic. It’s chill as hell and not hard to survive, and every so often I just stop and look around because in my field of vision is a forest in a valley as well as a nearby cave full of colorful rock formations and various striations of rock. I’ve been upgrading my backpack frequently so it can hold plenty of gear, and I’ve upgraded my multitool a whole bunch, not to mention I have a bunch of technologies I’ve discovered that I can put to use on it if I want to. All in all, I’m really enjoying it as a slower change of pace to more common game types, and as something I can just noodle around in for short or long periods but still make good progress. And it’s pretty. And I have a lot of space yet to explore. I’m hoping the creator lives up to his words about having long term plans for updating and adding things to it, as it seems perfectly suited for that sort of thing–probably modders on PC will also eventually figure out things to do with it, as they do.
