Another banging update. This time focusing on combat and the sentinels. New sentinel types, new weapons, new questline with more lore, overhaul of the combat and new companions and we can now have our exo mechs follow us around and fight for us and so much more content. 6 years and the game is still going strong and they haven’t even asked for a penny more than the base game.

I wish it didnt feel so empty. Like exploring is cool but it all feels kinda pointless. Like I hate that theres no real cool secrets. Especially in the anamoly planets.
That’s exactly why I’m happy for this update! There is now actually a reason to stay on a planet for longer than 5 minutes. Sentinels now give you exclusive rewards for killing them and if you manage to kill multiple waves of them they’ll mark a waypoint to a location on that planet to a sentinel pillar. With that you can deactivate the sentinels for a time being and claim a new multi tool. And to my knowledge it’s the only way of getting the brand new Royal multi tool. It’s a step in the right direction to much needed depth for the game. As I always say with the game there is a lot to do but not a lot of reasons to do it. Seems like we’re finally heading in that direction now.
That’s pretty cool. Ya it’s crazy how much they keep adding and how good it is now.
Indeed. And it seems like they won’t be stopping there. I won’t spoil too much but I feel like the lore that was added in this updated is hinting at more of this stuff to come and even the gameplay elements feels like a stepping stone for something else. And if rumours are to be believed the summer update is going to be one huge combat oriented update where we go to a more dangerous universe (the lore is also hinting at this) so I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what else they’ve got in store. And also the override at the back of the space station still doesn’t do anything yet so I think they’ve got some big things in store.

Well the gek used to be a crazy ass race. It would be cool if you could travel back in time, see when all races were at war. Idk that game has so many things that could happen lol
See that’s something I’m hoping for too. To see the war between the Vykeen and the Sentinels, the terror of the first spawn and maybe even go to places like Korvax Prime. I have a feeling they’re going to deep their toes into this sort of stuff of adding gameplay elements relating to the lore because they’ve been hyping up the void for quite some time and I do believe we are going to go there eventually. There’s so much potential in just the lore itself it’s crazy they’ve not brought much from it. I want that multi sword.
