I've been following the game since was announced years ago.. I was hyped and had a lot of hopes. But then i was disappointed in the years..
As a former Elite: Dangerous player, i do feel that a universe full of empty and shallow random generated content is just not enough to keep me interested. Let's face the truth, even If the graphics (and sound) are nice, do you really want to spend 59 euros in a title that has no story, no aim (beside "exploring") and even no multi player? I don't.
I suggest you to read reviews on Gog.com - beside the fact the game runs poorly even on highend systems, many people are just defining it as a pure hype train after few hours of playing...
