Star field couple have been a lot of things if people who haven’t picked up a controller in decades hadn’t decided to try and make it as generic and casual as possible.
And maybe it’s just me, but the second I

finished the portal and restarted the game
, I lost all interest in playing the game itself.
They made the content of individual plays not matter to me, so once I did a few speed runs to the finish line I just deleted the game and haven’t played it since.
Also i could never figure out their base management system. I was hoping for something like “fallout 4 settlements in space” but all I got was “way less complicated Satisfactory”.
I stopped playing about a month after it came out, so there’s a chance they fixed some issues that I didn’t know were issues, but I still haven’t had the desire to try playing it again.
As far as I know there have been no meaningful changes to the game other than the addition of a ground vehicle and the dlc everyone seems to hate.
I really really really really wanted to like the game, but the bean counters won again and had an incredibly soulless safe product released for all audiences. As they say, a game for everyone is a game for no one. :/
The way I got around what you mentioned in the spoiler was to just save my second playthrough as the “real one” so what you do still mattered.
I had put so many hours into trying to sort my bases for NG that I didn’t even want to try and start over for NG+.
If I ever DO decide to pick it up again, assuming the save is still compatible I made a separate save file before finishing the game just to be sure.
Who knows, maybe someone will make mods to make it the game we all wanted it to be and I’ll give it another go.
That was THE WORST. I spent so much time farming materials, realized I needed skills to upgrade weapons and gear, spent time grinding levels, unlocking upgrades, upgrading guns, building farms on planets… Only to realize I’d lose it all if I did ng+. So my choices were to waste time during every run to farm again to upgrade my weapons again, just speedrun the powers with whatever shit I found on the ground and make no bases, or shut the game off and play a better one.
It could’ve been good. Running through the polite qualification again after hacking the program was cool. Knowing the story beats and being able to skip was kinda cool.
Space was shit and travel was a load screen. Powers were not nearly as exciting as they should have been. Bases were pointless. Ship building was needlessly locked behind levels and not worth because again, space was nothing. Just get the freestar shop and yer done.
I know it’s just me in this case, but gore and dismemberment would not have improved this, or any, gaming experience.
Tech issues! It’s the most advanced version of their pile of tech ever, right?
