Corpse of Discovery is a promising experiment that offers some of the weirdness of discovery that poor No Man's Sky struggled to deliver. At the same time, it's doesn't have much to offer in gameplay terms. I maneuver myself around from one planet to the next with different threats ranging from a rather terrifying alien screaming at me to trying to find comfort in the shade.
It's a mixed bag, as is some of the text that seems to take aim at the "fun" I'm missing outside by playing games inside. The presentation and gameplay muddles this enough that Corpse of Discovery has more weight as a game honoring the legacy of scientific pioneers, the first people to set out in unknown territory in the grand pursuit of knowledge. Corpse of Discovery stumbles here as well (it's no The Right Stuff for damn sure), but it's a fascinating enough experiment that I need to catch up on what Phosphor Games has done since.
