Absolutely. When I was first put onto the game I was lamenting the state of media lacking alternatives to "punching your way to a solution". This game is a first person shooter that replaces guns and violence with science equipment and archeology. It is a breath of fresh air. Also, I love surface to surface space travel, and have to say that I found more enjoyment from a solar system of ~9 imaginatively unique planets with distinct biomes and gravity to the slew of other popular procedurally generated alternatives. I recommend it to just about everyone and have known many people who stopped because the flight mechanics were difficult initially; abandoning the game saying "this must be for people who can actually fly this thing". Truthfully, you will get good at controlling your ship and suit, but also, crashing is ultimately a hilarious "part of the gameplay". The music is excellent and integrated into the gameplay in a meaningful way. I found myself playing the game with a guitar nearby so I could take a moment to jam with the characters in the game. The expansion is perhaps my favourite planet, but play through the main game first!
