Stars End

It's as though whoever developed this game just found whatever assets they could use (sci fi, 20th century roads, cowboys etc.) and then threw them willy nilly into the world because this game doesn't know what it wants to be. I'm usually a fan of, and have a lot of time for these kinds of Indy projects but there is no coherence to this game whatsoever which makes it jarring to play and gives it a very cheap feel overall. Let me give an example with a similar (better) game: Empyrion Galactic Survival, in that game you crash land on a planet and you have become disconnected with your fleet, which is why you have to build everything back up from scratch. The devs in that game at least spent more than 5 minutes thinking about what universe they were creating and what the logic would be so what you were doing made some kind of sense. In Empyrion you explore virgin worlds and sometimes there are ship wrecks dotted around, sometimes there are alien settlements BUT IT ALL MAKES SENSE AND FITS IN TOGETHER. Not this game however. In this game, you get sent by a large highly advanced ship/station to land on the planet and told that you must start foraging like a cave man from scratch. Why? Because reasons. You're walking around this landscape that doesn't know if it wants to be a new world terraforming project, or a racing simulator (nice modern style 20th roads are just randomly in the middle of the map right next to a super futuristic rotating thingy that randomly rotates out of the ground again for reasons). This is one of the few Indy games that would benefit from SIMPLIFICATION. Make the game make sense guys! Either ditch the advanced infrastructure and make it a build yourself up from scratch game or keep the cities and 20th century roads and cowboy stuff etc. and try to figure out what you want this game to be! My advice would be to turn it into a crash landing style game and then land in an uninhabited planet, that would at least make the game more sense if you want to do the whole foraging from scratch business. On top of this, the game just doesn't play very well at all, But before these aspects of the game are upgraded, the games needs to have some kind of coherent concept.
