No Man's Sky

Okay, quick first impression of No Man's Sky. After some stumbling I've more or less figured out the crafting and resource gathering system. Plotwise there isn't one, beyond "Head to the center of the galaxy." This is a game that takes a lot of pride in not providing more than a few vague breadcrumbs on how to reach that goal however.

Aesthetically it does achieve its primary goal of being really, REALLY pretty, though the impression is more of "70's Concept Album" rather than "70's Science Fiction Novel".

Overall it seems fun so far. We'll see if it holds up as I continue playing. I'll see if I cant livestream a bit as I continue to play

Melanie waited, but he didn’t continue along that line, so she added, “And she’s the governor of this colony.”

“Yes, well, that’s logical,” Rolas mumbled.

“Mind you, technically you’ve held the post longer than her, since she spent so much time back on the homeworld, looking after Alinadar when she was injured.”

“Who’s Alinadar?”

“A former employee of mine, bodyguard actually. Salli hired her when she went on a Grand Tour, and they fell in love.”

“Military Caste, I suppose?” Rolas guessed.

“Commoner, though Ali’s surviving family are all Military/Service.”

He snorted. “Well, that won’t last.”
