!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

This is about No Man’s Sky. I’ve experienced both sides of these reviews.

Could be Outer Wilds, too. Having played both, I can see it going either way.

I've been wanting to play it on PC again for ages, used to on PS5 and this update isn't making that easier

Yeah, there is a huge gap between being forced to do what you need to do because the whole thing is on rails and not being given even a hint of what to do. So many games can't find a spot in between the two extremes.

Not being able to find things isn't finding my own way, it is just frustrating because I probably walked right past it and didn't happen to look at it the right way to get the interact option. I need strong hints or even the choice to be told where to go or I get frustrated and quit games.

That was my instant thought too.
