Easy going. This was a nice game to have to just be able to pick up for a few hours and just relax by exploring, cleaning up some ground goop along the way and enjoying the several events and lovey dovey bantering between the two protagonists. Very light feeling game with an appreciated focus on two people in a relationship who are just enjoying themselves.

Whilst that stuff left me feeling positive on the game, I also gotta admit there isn't much else beneath that. The main story is irrelevant, the forced drama between the two at one point is boring, the few other characters you talk to are so 2D and barely in it that it makes the "choice" at the end of the game entirely laughable because the game gives you zero reason for ever thinking about wanting to ever go back to your home planet. Also if you play the game more than my recommended allotted time per day then you start to realise that you're mostly on the same biome for 80% of the game and you're doing the same stuff you were doing at the end of the game that you were at the start.

And it's a tough game to recommend because of all that. I feel like they did enough of a good job on the relationship between the main characters and the world exploration that I could forgive those flaws and come out feeling good but if one of those things don't click then the entire house starts to crumble.
