I've read a ton of good things about this game, so I started it this week. I'm a couple of hours in now, but all I'm doing is floating around in the little space ship so far, and respawning every so often when I do something dumb.
Without spoiling it for me, is this really what this game is about? Does it get interesting at some point (soon I hope)?
UPDATE 1 DAY LATER: OK, so, using my ship log helped and I found something amazing. So I think I've found my way now and will stick with it. Thanks @tetraodon and everyone – y'all rock!
I had to ‘fight’ at the beginning as well, but after eventually progressing and ultimately finishing the game I can tell you it was one if the, if not THE best experience I’ve ever had. To this day certain parts soundtrack of the soundtrack make me tear up when I listen to them.
That being said you really need to want to understand the game in order to complete it. I don’t think it’s a mindless experience that you can just have on while watching something else on a second monitor. If that sounds like a game that you might like I absolutely recommend sticking with it!
I see. Ok, I’ll keep that in mind. It seems I need to be more involved myself as I continue to play. Thanks!
