Maybe you should actually do some research before calling this game a walking simulator because you clearly know nothing about it It’s got challenges, puzzles, secrets, icy planets, boiling planets, barren planets, rocky planets, watery planets, toxic planets radioactive planets and most likely a tonne more we haven’t been told about. There are a variety of stars that affect the composition of elements within each solar systems; there are conventional stars and also some that are completely made up, like green ones which we have no idea about but have seen them in the game. You can be a pirate, an explorer, a fighter, a scientist, and gain reputation with various alien races scattered amongst the cosmos, each with their own personalities and traits. You can mine, fight on ground or in space, find treasures and break into and loot buildings. There is an out of control race of self replicating robots, which were originally designed to protect planets and their enhabitants (animals) from harm, whom also act as a GTA style police (with a GTA style wanted system) that chase you for killing animals or mining (destroying) a planet too much. You can gather resources and combine/craft them together. You can find technologies that allow you to upgrade your ship in various ways, whether it be better guns, shields, warp drive or cargo space. You can use these technologies to upgrade your weapon and space suit allowing you to be more lethal to attackers on ground and suit upgrades allow you to survive longer on hazardous planets (hot, cold, toxic, radioactive). You can meet alien entities on planets and enter a dialogue with them, but you also have to learn their language to understand what they are saying.

Please don’t call this a walking simulator when you don’t even know half of what is in the game. Because everything I have just said is all in the game.
