I haven't played 5089 yet but i look forward to it. This game was pretty excelelnt it's essentially the same game as 3079 with more polish. The music is calming and hypnotic and the world feels very exploration like as you migrate through it on your way from mission to mission.

I haven't played No Man's Sky (whew, lol) but it looks like a similiar idea to this game in some ways..

The way weapons work is you can basically pick the kind of weapon you want. I liked the sniper rifles because they did good damage and most enemies cant do much about it, plus a lot of the missions are assassination types.

I personally loved this game perhaps much more than i should have, as there isn't a lot of content here. It's just a strange mix of basic elements that make it an odd little time suck. Almost like a mix of Robotron with borderlands. The game really appealed to my sense of adventure and it was a very easy game to just jump in and not stop, you get XP and level your stats so you can pace yourself and death is only a minor setback that drains a bit of your cash (you can buy gear). there is an actual End Game/main quest though...

If ya like rogues or were dissapointed by NMS, this might be good. I'd imagine the new game is better (though i havent checked it out yet)

The new game... It's in VR. I really can't really imagine... (another reason i havent played it just yet) I fully expect it to be like the atari 2600 of the future!!!
