There's a lot to like here- building is smooth, exploration is sort of interesting, and there's a good variety of weapons and buildings. I think they simplified the right things re: materials and power, and I liked the "build micro bases around the planet". I didn't love how resources kept running out, especially when you were elsewhere. But, the tower defense was pretty decent and lead to some good real-time action. Story was also ok, and _almost_ had some interesting introspection around the ethics of space colonization. Overall, does much more right than wrong, even if I had my quibbles.
