OK, going into this game absolutely everything was extremely vibeworthy. I'm a sucker for space games and a sucker for games that provide a sense of discovery and going through and peeling over every planet and finding out the weird little details of this world felt amazing.
But about 8 hours in, everything felt like it clicked for me, I knew how I was going to go about beating the game, which trees to shake down to get the secrets needed to complete everything. What followed was perhaps the most dull 3 hour stretch I've played in a while, so much of the late game is just composed of waiting for things to happen that you know are going to happen, the time loop mechanic that gave everything a sense of urgency just becomes a big 'ol time gate to block actually progressing the events of the game.
So while I'm not exactly head-over-heels for this like everyone else I will say that that first bit of the game is some truly mind-blowing exploration so give it a shot, then maybe check the wiki (very carefully, there's still some revelations in that last bit you don't wanna get spoiled) if you get inevitably stuck poking at leads.
