Stay away from this one. It's a nice, and on occasion, decently designed world, that actively punishes you for exploration. You sprint through a hangar full of enemy ships, just to get to a door in the back with three chests filled with stuff. You just end up thinking: "Why can't I do anything with these ships? Am I not supposed to the lookout ship parts?"
The same goes for corvettes. One of the three "events" of enemy ships warping in, is a corvette. If you destroy it, you can board it and snatch a part from it. The part is completely randomized, while the corvette is always the same ship (with different modifiers at higher difficulties). I remember my first fight against a corvette, I barely beat it and thought to myself: "Wow, I can't wait to rip that rocket launcher off of that thing and use it myself." After realizing that despite the rocket launcher on the corvette having a slot where the part would go, as it is probably just part of that model, the rocket launcher could not be removed. Instead you have to open up a small vault, where a ship part is on a pedestal. In my case, it was the same damn sensor array you start the game with.
It's listed as playable in single player, which it barely is. You get a drone that helps you with some tasks. But importantly, it barely does any damage and doesn't take damage itself, meaning on foot the game dumps loads of enemies on you, that chase you around all day. The problem with that is: the game doesn't really change what objectives it gives you in single player, compared to multiplayer. So you end up locked in an arena, where you have to find very heavy batteries and slowly carry them to a door. The game throws endless waves of enemies at you during that, including enemies designed to split up the group and force the target into cover, like beam drones.
Even during single player, you can't pause the game. Additionally, the game insists on warping in enemy ships from time to time, making taking a piss at any point a gamble.
Bugs are everywhere, which is to be expected in an early access title, but some things should be ironed out after a year of work. Why the hell do my grenades stick to my own character when thrown while sprinting?
