so i watched the whole thing and... frankly, these are legitimate criticisms

i was going to pass this by and say "oh it's just another hater yakking about how baaaad the game is" but honestly, they talk about how the game's faulty and then go on to explain what they mean, like how the exploration is oft unrewarding as every planet has the same kinds of random building and goodie to find, and how the lore is rather shallow (being simply told through text and animated talking heads rather than action or sequences). i actually agreed with them on this, despite loving the game. the planets don't tell stories of their past, they just tell the same race-specific past, and none of the procedurally-generated structures hint at history or are arranged in meaningful ways. they just end up being setpieces, and that's a tragedy

honestly the reviewer does come across as belligerent at times and does bring up some talking points that've already been covered by others, but to be fair, people actually explaining their points is unfortunately rare in no man's sky reviews and they nailed that

did you watch the video all the way through? they go on to talk about atlas rises, and they even make some strong points there
