Thats true but 20 hours of playing is quite a lot of playtime to issue a refund really. If steam made it so users can refund games after playing that long, most people would just abuse the system since most games out there are bearly 10 hours. Heck, considering the amount of indie games on steam that barely make it 3 hours, I think it would be a giant issue. So to me it makes sense why they did it for two hours but extreme cases should be the exception of course like Batman was.

Bugs here and there are to be expected of every game, specially open world games. Just as long as it doesn't format ur pc or rape the save file, I think it should be fine.

Also if I remember correctly, they limited the time because during Steam sales, it would have allowed for users to buy the game cheap, play it for a bit and get a refund without question. That I could see being a main reason as to why it's limited the way it is and I can agree why.

I don't think the game will be very bug heavy. The mechanics don't really seem deep enough and I assume they had to keep it as simple as possible as to not encounter weird issues with these numerous amounts of different planet combinations.

If you don't encounter any problems on the first 3 planets you visit I doubt there will be many in the later game.

I'm not expecting it to be like Fallout 4 in terms of bugs galore, but I am expecting perf issues and a lack of options that have been a staple with PC gaming (Totalbiscuit will make sure we don't hear the end of the options menu review lol).

That said I've got the 8gigs ram required, a 980, i5-4670k and a decent WD Black HDD and Samsung SSD, I should be able to handle the game like a breeze.

It's not like lack of options or performance issues are anything new for PC ports. Hope they don't dare to leave out FOV sliders.

But honestly unless they really give zero shits about the PC port I expect it to run pretty well, especially since it's optimized on low performance hardware. It's not a complicated game and all of the universe is basically cookie cutter with slightly different variables along the way. Hard to imagine that something so simple could be fucked up.
