Gameplay
The game is referred to a mix of survival and high action. The game has four essentials to stay alive food, sleep, water and oxygen. Food and sleep are the only way to heal in the game as water and oxygen are necessary to survive. You can find food anywhere and have to find a bed to sleep which your ship always has. You can sometimes find water laying around or another form of a drink. Yet sometimes for water and necessary for oxygen you have to complete extraction missions that require you to extract solid water or oxygen from a planet as all planets have five extraction points for both. Collecting fuel is also necessary as if you are out of fuel your ship won't fly. However, there are also five fuel extraction points as well. The game also has a focus on combat as there is over 50 weapons you can fight enemies with and over 30 attachments to the ship. The game requires you to complete "primary" missions on planets to gain maps which allows you to travel to more planets. There are different types of missions. There are primary, secondary, extraction points, radical bases, challenges and convoys. Prime missions are missions on each planet that are required to be done to make it to other planets and are indicated on a map by a red triangle. Secondary missions are missions on each planet which are not needed to complete but can expand lore and develop characters as they are marked with a green circle. Extraction points were previously mentioned and are indicated with a yellow square. Radical Bases are bases ran by Radicals that can be took down by marked with a black X. Challenges are fun little quests that require you to use a certain weapon or technique to do some unique challenge being marked by a blue circle. Finally convoys are either on land or space and are mainly a group of enemies moving something valuable being marked with a brown arrow.
