Morphite

I want to like this game. The art is great and the overall world seems full of mystery and character. The story seems interesting... but my goodness is it boring and buggy. So many bugs I had to stop playing. So many different worlds you can explore... but they are all the same. Cool creators but nothing much else. You can land on a world, and if it isn't a world for the story there is nothing else to do but scan things and maybe get some upgrade material. With a lack of a sprint feature and character speed so slow it makes exploring a chore. This game feels like No Mans Sky at launch, but worse. It saddens me.

I unfortunately experienced several bugs such as missing textures, clipping through the graphics and getting stuck, falling through the ground etc. There is also a weird flight mode that you can't get out of without restarting. Then I hit some bug which prevented my from continuing the story so I called it quits. At least an hour of my steam time is replaying the same part over and over trying to get the next checkpoint but the game was stuck. Regardless my enjoyment was already waning as the game-play ultimately gets very repetitive. The main mechanic of scanning flora and fauna just becomes a chore because you can't tell which ones you've already scanned as a lot of things just look the same. Your millage may vary of course but its a no from me.

This game is really fun. I enjoy the gameplay loop and just the art of dropping down somewhere and exploring is very fun. Ive actually had lots of memorable moments when a monster is faster than I expected or I see some terrain generation that takes me by surprise. I do feel like one more update could have made a few more places a bit more varied or added some more interact-able objects/environments (space stations are a lot less dynamic than planets) but as a simpler game it still has a lot to it. Also fast travel to story planets you've already been to would be something neat to unlock. I'd say the main issue with it is outside the game, in that it never took off to get important things like a Wiki (either official or fanmade) which hampers things when you feel confused, or need some clarification on the controls or if you're curious and want to see what the later progression is like. So info is a bit split up and you have to do digging more than you should. Also a lack of a soundtrack is a shame since the ambient music is great. A lot of games are really enhanced by things like these out of game experiences, but I cant really knock the game for it specifically. Plus it does help you feel truly alone and exploring the universe. In the end I recommend it.

graphics, gameplay and story... I absolutely recommend this game!!

its fun at first, until they introduce the grappling hook and the racing. theres quite a few bugs still. but thats what seperates this game from being loved to just liked. still very enjoyable and for 15 bucks ive played quite a bit.

INTERESTING AND RELAXING GAME .

This is a vibe. It's an audiovisual vibe disguised as an unpolished NMS-alike. Great game to put on while talking with friends on Discord about something completely unrelated. Good to detox after work. It slices, it dices, it treats the symptoms of suburban depression!

Basic, but funny game.
