First Hour In: I unlocked the first fast travel point at the alien statue. Fairly linear gameplay with some paths that loop back into the main pathway. I like grabbing anything I can get my hands on, so most of my time was spent vacuuming what ever I could find- However, the environment was beautiful. The plants and animals I've run into so far are pretty cool as well. Can't wait to play this further!
Fun, chill and short. The price is set right for the amount of game you get. 5 hrs to finish the story, another hour to get all the achievements. 6 total. As others have mentioned, a weird frame drop during the elevator, but apart from that, I didn't run into anything weird graphics or gameplay-wise. My only grip is with the unskippable cut scenes. I enjoyed the end credits, but for any other playthroughs, you can't skip the very long ending scenes and credits. you can however speed the credits up, but that doesn't help much. Anyway, It is a good game to play to relax but still engage your brain.
It's gotten a lot of grief this game and I can kind of understand it....but you know what? I liked it. Set expectations to low and have a really beautiful time in a well made game.
