37.3 minutes later, after viewing what gradually became a psychedelic Jackson Pollock painting, after framerates changing inversely with my heartrate, I'm actually trembling.
I've tried to get into No Man's Sky on and off for 2 years, and I have just torn myself away from 3 straight hours of what I first mistakenly thought was merely a satire of the former. I was laughingly grateful at the simplicity of the resource system, and relieved at the lack of barrier to entry in the form of loading, tutorials, and handholding, and was soon chasing after a runaway jet engine on a plank. I later thrust myself upward to see how far I could reach without oxygen, surprised to see that there were details beyond this world. I've now visited each available planet. In such a simple environment, I've experienced several memorable moments of discovery.
As challenging as it is simple. I particularly enjoyed the frame, and the way that dead bodies fall over it during a soothing restart process that eliminates most frustration.
I'm glad to see these sorts of spaces in the indie scene. I've been looking for experimental multiplayer environments, especially in XR, but they're surprisingly difficult to find. I'm curious if you, or anyone else know of any other experimental spaces like this.
Haha, yeah I probably gave the enemy to much power, it was one of the more rushed areas (as well as the end screens). Its flattering to know that someone took the time to play and report back this in depth for my little experiment!
