Even if you fix Gollum, all you're gonna get is a generic 3rd person action-adventure game. We got this game about a hundred times in the Xbox/PS2 era.

No Man's Sky was worth salvaging because it did something mechanically different. Gollum is like if you took one of those PS2 Harry Potter games, dropped it into UE4, and changed which licensed property the game uses.

Yeah, but PS1 era Chamber of Secrets was tight. I’d play the mess out of that with upgrades graphics.

10 years from now the entire world economy is surrounding around Gollum. Everybody are having their own Gollum avatars and own precious properties in the game.

I agree, seeing Gollum start his journey across space to start a completely different game would be quite an improvement.

I refuse to even touch No Man's Sky. I'm sure the game is fine at this point, but I refuse to support a company that thought they could get away with what they attempted to do. Just like KSP2 - sure, they labeled it "Early Access" but they charged full game prices for that thing back in February. It's been half a year later, and there has been literal zero movement on their release roadmap.

What's KSP?

NMS was developed by a very small studio. Even though they fucked up, they kept on developing the game instead of just ditching it. Everything they add to the game is free and they delivered on most if not all of their promises.

Cyberpunk on the other hand...

KSP is Kerbal Space Program. The first one released a few years ago and the second one has been on the radar for a while.

Personally I won't buy KSP2, the publisher apparently took over the studio at some point and decided to fire all original employees.
