I think this game is underrated. I think this game is a buggy frustrating mess but I also think it is the current pinnacle of first person space real time strategy role playing games. There are very few games that scratch the itch that this game scratches and even fewer that are designed to be played in single player.
BUYER BEWARE THIS TITLE CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING
- Frustratingly long grind
- Euphoric levels of rewards
- Buggy and broken AI that fails to function 10-20% of the time
- A simplistic but easy to learn UI
- Player control of the smallest and largest ships in the game
- Endless possibilites (provided you are willing to invest 100+ hours into them)
- A large open map full of derelect ships, loot caches, and lock boxes
- Mushroom Hunting in the Forest (Crystal Mining in the asteroids)
- Clunky and unintuitive management controls
- Hard but very engaging combat
- OG Minecraft tutorial design (wiki and youtube lol)
- Dope ship designs
- Dope modding scene
- A universe that feels full of life but also completely lifeless
A very specific kind of person will like this game. I would argue that 80-90% of people who read this review probably think they are that person and are wrong. This is not to gatekeep the game but just do your research and understand what you are getting into before you purchase this game. It will take at a minimum 8 hours to get your bearings and figure out how to do the basics. After that it will take dozens of hours of grinding to really make a name for yourself in the universe and after that it will take even more hours before you even get in a position where you can think about building the largest ships in the game. It is awesome and a brutal experience all at the same time. I cannot wait to get back into the game and spend 4 hours just getting a mining ship outfitted and automated.
