Hello has really come around when it comes to building the framework for a great sandbox game and if you're diligent about creating goals and tasks for yourself NMS can be fun. Not to mention seamlessly flying off a planet into space was an amazing novelty.
However if they want me to try Light No Fire they need to do two things: turn the page on the NMS gameplay loop ideally with some truly emergent gameplay, and fix the inconsistent and unintuitive UI. I did really enjoy a lot of my time in NMS but to do so I found I always had the feeling I was working against the system instead of with it.
My biggest gripe was they didn't bring up my backpack inventory in the regular manner when selling. I keep thinks in specific locations and seeing a vertical list five items at a time was a massive waste of time and screen space.
This looks cool, but it basically just looks like a reskin of NMS in a fantasy world and they're going to need to do more than copy Valheim to make this one fun.
