This game fulfills a very important niche to me: The genuine feeling of being an actual space explorer. It gave that and even more.
Genuinely one of the most magical gaming experiences I've had in a long while
The hardest part honestly is how to recommend this game without spoiling anything, andI mean ANYTHING
Best way I can do that is to simply say that all progression in the game isn't through collectibles or doing things, but rather it's all based around discovery and learning the mysteries of the solar system itself.
Honestly BECAUSE progression is based on what you learn through the 22 minute time loops, rather than what you DO in those loops, makes it probably one of the best time loop based games ever. Whenever you start a loop, you're not going to do the same sequence of events and then something slightly different to progress. You're using what you learned in the previous loop to build your knowledge of the world even further (Which funnily enough, is one of the core themes of the game).
Go in blind, hop into your ship, and go uncover all the secrets of this system yourself. Go be a cool space explorer, and apply what you learn to discover even more.

The simplest way to break this game down: Giant robot chess.
This game is simple in a lot of ways, executed wonderfully.
Each mech you can use is pretty simple and serves one function, pilots have one ability that ranges from free to powerful (That requires extra resources to use!), stages are small and simple with a random twist every now and then, the bugs you fight are straightforward
With these simple problems, you can figure out a lot of creative solutions, all without feeling too overwhelmed with options or abilities or all that jazz
Like I said: Giant robot chess. Loads of fun, go on and get it

The one huge thing I wanna give strive is that it is probably one of the best entry level fighting games I've played
I'm mostly saying this as somebody who hasn't played too many traditional fighters.
It's very flashy, pretty cool presentation, a relatively small cast of fighters, and simple learning curve as well
It's flashiness basically brings in newcomers, and simplicity keeps them hooked, at least in my experience
It has a large enough playerbase to at least help me learn in scales enough to get the hold of the game feel. Then it was learning one step at a time: Combos, learning about what other characters can do and how to react, tension management, figuring out how to best use roman cancels, and so on.
Because of it's simple curve, however, it does leave me yearning for a bit more chaotic gameplay, but thanks to that it's at least given me a good gamesense and feel for how 2d fighters work. After this, I Moved onto Accent Core, and having a blast there, taking what I learned here to not get too overwhelmed over there.
It's a really really simple and solid fighting game. You're never really going to see anyone doing something insane or crazy with it IMO, but it's simple enough to get your toes into the water and used to the genre as a whole.
