The crafting and upgrading mechanics seem fundamentally broken. You can't put an exact number into machines like refiners, and must instead hold the button down and watch it tick up/down with gradually increasing speed. Dragging item tiles around to different slots all over the place like Minecraft.

The general UI is so incredibly bad, especially as a PS4 player. This is bizarre and confusing, and it doesn't lend itself to long-term gameplay. Storage unit 0 on your freighter, and storage container 0 on all your bases on any planets all contain the same items at all times. They are linked throughout the entire galaxy. You are allotted 10 numbered storage chests. As the only way to save in this game is exiting your ship, this is especially frustrating after a fruitful pirating run when I am forced to reload and lose all of my loot. Sometimes, after pulse driving to my Freighter in space, my ship gets stuck inside of the freighter and begins to rapidly lose health as it bounces around rapidly. The ability to build a base inside of the freighter, with all of the benefits mentioned previously, removes almost all incentive to build planetary bases for me personally. Building inside of freighters is confusing as the layout of available space is very unclear.
No more than one or two weak sentinel ships will be sent after you as you destroy multiple entire fleets of cargo pods. Pirates will not ever attack your freighter. Frigates will not actually defend themselves against you short of a couple of weak defense turrets that are trivially destroyed. You can steal from cargo pods that are part of a freighter and incur no reputation loss.

You are given your first one for free when you defend it from pirates. You can summon them at any time, from any location for no fuel cost. Vy'keen are all warriors.Įverything about freighters is broken. Much like Star Wars, single languages and individual character traits are associated with entire races that spread through multiple galaxies. So far, the design of the various alien races has not appealed to me. Most creatures I run into on planets have 4 legs and a reptile-type body, and most planets have extremely similar types of hazardous flora. While this is common to all procedurally generated content, the limits of "randomness" become very apparent at times. Would you give a foreigner a significant, possibly taxable gift of cash for approaching you and saying "death" in your language? Speaking single out-of-context words to aliens in their language sometimes yields gifts. Conversations are explained to me regardless of my comprehension level. I'm unsure what the reward, if any, will be for learning these languages. The language-learning mechanic is extremely repetitive and not fun to me. It is so painful to walk around Atlas stations trying to learn every last word in there. Running out of sprint energy inside of stations/freighters/bases feels unnecessarily limiting.
I had to look it up on the wiki to realize I had completed it. The Atlas Path questline was incredibly anti-climactic. I need to be able to quit my game now and know I won't lose my progress to fully enjoy any game. You can't just run back to your ship or build a save beacon "real quick" when someone spills something or someone knocks on the door.
I mean, you guys have lives, right? Sometimes you have to put down your game to go do something else for a while. I've become accustomed to this by now, but that really doesn't make it okay. All you really get is a north marker and unnamed custom markers. Thoroughly exploring a single planet is extremely difficult. Navball indicators are the only way to locate different bodies of a system. The galaxy map is inaccessible anywhere but actively flying in space, so forget about trying to plan routes before you take off. This review is from the perspective of someone who first looked into the game a week ago. I wasn't around for any of the launch-era drama, so I won't be commenting on that. I knew very little about the game going into it. I purchased this game three weeks ago on sale for $22 for my PS4.
