I feel like I was completely ripped off. This game is nothing like promised, and I can't believe how many people seem to be okay with that.

There are more issues than I have the patience to type, so here are just a few of the most egregious.

Graphics. The graphics are nowhere near modern. They are basic colors and sometimes pretty blocky. It almost looks like graphics from a game over 30 years old. This is unacceptable.

Spaceship flight mechanics. There are none. In fact, I have yet to see ANY spaceships in this game. So far, it's 100% on foot.

First-person gameplay. Not very realistic, but kind of satisfying. There's a lot of jumping and numerous enemies to avoid. They get a little repetitive, but are enough to hold interest. Some have loot that can give your character special abilities like flying with a raccoon tail, breathing underwater like a frog, or even throwing fireballs.

Character creation. This is virtually non-existent. In fact, I don't think I was ever asked to review my character. I tried restarting a few times and every time I'm automatically set as some guy in red with a moustache. I did find a multiplayer option, but that just gives a green variant.

I'm thinking of refunding this game as it is nothing like what Todd Howard promised.

It's amazing how many people aren't getting this joke.

sigh I know they’re describing Mario, but what am I missing here?
