This is just... fine.
I was excited for this but after 5 hours I feel a bit underwhelmed and... bored. And it's not a great feeling so early in a game. The combat feels great, all the pew pew pew and explosions can keep me entertained for a while but that's all it is: a time killer and not really a rewarding experience that feels worthy of my time. It gives you the illusion of variety with all the different weapons, ship types, enemy types but when it comes down to it translating in actual variety of gameplay it's just not there, it all feels inconsequential and not that different from each other. So, after a few hours when the novelty wears off I feel like I'm just doing the same things over and over again, go here, shoot that, get this power thing in the power socket (the puzzles are really tedious). The story is, again, fine, does the job but not enough to keep me playing waiting for what happens next.
I don't know, maybe it's just not for me. I do love a good game set in space with good visuals and maybe this is fine if I want to just relax and do some mindless shooting. But I guess I expected more. With so many games coming out and on my backlog I don't really have time for such a time consuming game that doesn't seem to go anywhere beyond its initial gameplay loop
