I see this is available for pre-order, NZD$90.
I watched a half hour long game play YouTube clip, it looks interesting enough. As always, I am concerned it will take away from my time playing ED 🙂
Anyone going to purchase?

I got NMS (aka No Man’s Lie on many a steam forum/review) with the PS4, so I gave it a crack.

In the end, I didn’t find it particularly engaging. Certainly not worth A$50 – $60. Having played it, I’d balk at even A$20. Maybe worth a look at A$15 or less.

Yeah, the kids love it – but is a pretty dull game once you scratch the surface..
