One quality I admire most of this title is that right from the start it leads with a pretty messed up sense of humor. You’ve been sent out to a remote and unexplored planet in search of resources… but since you’re pretty expendable, rather than have the proper gear along for the ride you’ve been given a 3D printer and some canned video to help motivate you. Good luck! As you progress and return to your ship you’ll often find new videos, including some commercials that absolutely cracked me up, these were always a welcome surprise and helped break things up nicely. In terms of exploring the planet, collecting resources, and simply trying not to die? Eh, there’s good and bad. The environment is quite colorful and given the alien surroundings visually there are consistent surprises in store for you. Waypoints and tips for your next objective are often helpful but there can be spots where you’ll feel a bit lost not just in terms of your location but also your current purpose, which can be frustrating since the game is generally very linear in what you’ll need to collect to craft your means to progressing to further areas. What may really ruin the experience for some will be the game’s performance though, as there’s a cost to it generally looking very impressive. Even as a person who will outright ignore minor framerate hitches or visual glitches at times it was hard not to notice frame skips and stutters at times either in expansive areas or when the action got tense. These don’t often interfere with your chances of success but it can happen, and that’s always unfortunate. If you play mostly in handheld mode this is, as is almost always the case, definitely a problem exacerbated in that mode of play versus docked. If you’re a fan of survival titles the first-person perspective, feeling of adventure at times, and peppering in of shooting may make it worthwhile and a lot of fun since the genre typically hasn’t been handled this way on Switch. If you’re not a fan of performance issues or were looking for something favoring shooting and action over exploration and crafting you’ll likely want to look elsewhere though.
