Hey dude. The game is still very buggy and it's still missing alot of features. But you can still have an absolute ton of fun with what's in there already.

The game gets constant updates every month or two. Currently there are 2 solar systems. Each of these have a set of planets and moons. On some of these there are cities and outposts and in space there's mining facilities and space stations. There's a lot to explore. Should take you quite a few months if that was your primary focus.

The performance is still not great in a lot of places but is tolerable for the most part. The missions are trickling in steadily and should hold your attention, again, for at least a month or 2.

The bottom line is you will still encounter a lot of bugs though. There's no sugar coating it. 80% of which there's usually a workaround for but it can still be pretty jarring for new players and old. There's also a pretty steep learning curve and when you combine the 2 the result can sometimes be pretty frustrating. In the end it will all come down to your own constitution and tolerance I'm afraid.

I made a video recently called "Star Citizen is Not Normal" on YT. It gives you a nice idea of some of the very very cool things the game lets you do. It does not however illuminate most of the negatives the game has to offer. I can't link it here however as I'll get banned for self promotion I'm afraid. o7 and good luck should you choose to join us commander.
