I agree with Marshall, you're going to either love it or hate it. To me, it's a relaxing hail back to some of the older space games, and I was really surprised how much I enjoyed the exploration. In fact, it's kind of shocking when the local fauna prove to be aggressive. I've spent over 10 hours in game, and haven't left my home system, although I've gotten quite a few upgrades and scanned / named all the species in two planets and almost all on the third.
I expect some additional interest to be added in patches over time, but if you're looking for high action and blood-pumping survival, this isn't it. If you're interested in being humbled by the vastness of space and your own insignificance, while exploring some beautiful planets, it might be worth a look. It'll show up on a Steam sale at some point, too, and a bit of a price cut will make the value hard to beat.
