as someone who has put 100+ hours into the base Elite Dangerous game i was super excited when they announced Horizons and the planatery landing and i pre ordered the expansion instantly!!

i know lots of people are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about the pricing model and how its only planatery landings so far but like did you really expect them to release and entire years worth of expansions at once??? would you rather wait an extra year and have a probably super buggy expansion release or would you rather have it broken into smaller more manageable bits and given to you over the course of the year as long as you bought the Horizons expansion?

like the work that they put into this game is absolutely amazing and i think it is well worth the money, and thats just with the planatery landings alone. like ive only scratched the surface of what i can do on planets (finals week is hell) but i cant wait to fully explore the beauty of what this expansion has to give. i cant even begin to imagine how great the other additions will be once they are out (new loot/crafting could be cool same as multi crew even though i dont do combat)

the only really bad things ive noticed so far is that it takes like 20 minutes for me to actually get to the main menu once i hit play and also i only get like 10-15 fps on planets but i am 95% sure both of those things are just because my laptop is not the best for games

i wont give a numbered review for this just yet because i only have like 2 hours clocked so far but i do highly recommend it for anyone who loved the main game
