New thread!
This week I beat yoshis island and am starting to play this new metroidvania thing I picked up called Wuppo!
Whatcha all playing?
No man’s sky for the first time. It’s fun for a bit I think. Dunno if it’s “I’m gonna play this forever” fun - seems a bit repetitive. But it was on sale and it’s amusing enough. I tried it out because I thought starfield was so boring, and felt like playing a space game.
The tutorial is quite long. After you have a ship, you can abandon the questline and just do whatever you want.
Requires reading the wiki a lot, but it lets you do whatever you want.
Gunship battles with aliens on the surface? ✅ Dogfights with pirates in orbit? ✅ Arbitrage and space merchant trading? ✅ Planet exploration and flora/fauna identification? ✅ Base building? ✅
Starfield is indeed boring but NMS isn’t much better IMHO. It is better, but I agree that it gets old quick.
Depending on your tolerance for jank, you might want to check out “X4: Foundatons” for a great space empire game. Start in a one-person scout fighter and work your way up to whole fleets, build stations, pirate, trade, explore, etc etc.
