So I did continue for a bit, made it to the end of the "demo" I guess since it said I need to continue in the "beta"? If that was supposed to be a taste of the game, I feel like I just tasted... water? There are so many buttons and mechanics that appear to be depth, but none of them were used in the section of the game I played. It's genuinely hard to tell if you're just burying the lead way too deep or if the game is entirely fluff and no substance. Sid Meier once said "a game is a series of interesting choices", and by that logic, the only actual gameplay I did was on the planet surface when I choose which direction to survey based on risk and reward. That was... fine... but rather disappointing to wait 2 hours for only that.
