- Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: You'd find it difficult to actually feel anything for the main characters... after Dr. Grant Moon reveals, two-thirds into the game, that the whole damn thing is a "Shaggy Dog" Story because despite their efforts, it turns out earth is 3 billion years away, too far for any rescue efforts, and their previous attempts at sending a distress signal is a waster. We then get a Time Skip cutscene where a decade later, Grant and Eva has decided to settle down on the hostile planet as farmers, and raise their daughter, only for a sudden solar storm to kill them both and leave their child orphaned.
- Visual Effects of Awesome: One of the game's main selling point is that players can experience the life on an alien world, first-hand, and the game absolutely delivers with it's insanely stunning graphics. Right in the start, there's a shot of Dr. Eva Tyson reaching her hand towards the camera, and you can see the folds on her space-glove.
