Three hundred hours in, multimillion unit production line, so many side quests done, 3 copies bought to share with family later and I'm finally doing the main questsπ€£
The story is great so far and I enjoy the mystery/anime levels of complexity. I love that it works entirely offline and with multiplayer. I love that Hello Games chooses a working business model over gouging us for every little thing they do. Haters gonna hate but I love this game.
I used to have a notebook full of sell and buy prices of goods at about 20 different stations. I used that as a way to make money until I realized that mining and farming was the superior way to make money.
It didn't take me long (uh, 100h, give or take) to realize that planting cactus in a desert planet and selling that gel you can make with them was the fastest way to get money.
Getting nanites was a real pain, tho, as I decided to play on survival, so stacks were limited to 500 units. Left my game running with a macro to deliver food to the foody alien in the Anomaly several times. Average of 70 nanites per deliver of simple meat recipes
As for the story...
Story Spoiler
I found it really meh at best. Atlas is just a malfunctioning "overseer"/guide/admin that controls simulations. Artemis lives in a simulation. Not soon afterwards, you also find out you live (play) in a simulation as well. It was worth a smirk for the meta commentary
Lastly, getting to the center of the galaxy was a fucking pain. Not because it was hard to reach the final stars, but because, on PC, you have to do a command you don't typically do when traversing the stars. I don't remember exactly now, but you had to aim at the center then press one of the buttons that shows on the top left of the screen to properly plot a course. I had to look that up on the internet.
