But it didn't exist in Elite Dangerous before, so how do you know what it's supposed to be like? Low gravity, jet packs, jumping and running, sounds good to me.
Ah right.... immersion... aka "gotta just remove stuff for no real benefit". Got it.
I was very wary about the Odyssey focus (as an FPS) because i knew it would detract from the tradition of Elite in some ways (but not all), and it is why i'll be playing Horizons only for as long as possible, and will only move onto Odyssey when i(we) are forced to (if they meld the game versions into one version) or if they actually make it fit better into Elite and not just make it like a Fortnite tribute band (ie they make it about the 'realism' of exploring a planet on foot or sneaking to your ship under danger (etc) and overall less about the combat-bunny-jump-shooty stuff).
My suggestion would be to play Horizon and not Odyssey, if you don't like it's offered current gameplay.
Jetpacks are fine. As for the weapon damage, the old school arena FPS style is fun in CZs, but for the other combat scenarios I would have preferred a more lethal gunplay with less engineering grade ramp up. Maybe with no personal shields at all, even. Ah well, it has its pros and cons.
