It’s already dropped off Steam’s Top Seller list. Big name developer, lots of hype, kind of mediocre game. Not actively bad, so it didn’t get the CP2077 hate, just nothing special.
And for a game where exploration is a major theme, exploration is pretty strongly disincentivized. I gotta spend 3 minutes holding W to get to the closest point of interest from whatever my landing site was, and there’s nothing but empty planet and a couple lead nodes in between? Or I can just pull up the quest and fast travel to the desto, skipping all the walking and loading screens?
