Reviews
Simply the "most" space game, across every possible measure.
Honestly, I'm happy I've avoided this game so many years, because now the experience is so full of everything that lacks from most space sims on the market. It's massive, has a ♥♥♥♥-ton of content and things you can do, it's gigantic, so much diversity with all the species of aliens and styles of art for every race, I've played 41 hours so far and I've barely scratched the surface. It got me hooked. Best buy of summer sale.
Gud Game
Incredible graphics, gameplay, depth, and accompanying learning curve. If you like space and logistics, you will like this game. At 116 hours I have almost learned how to make a space station profitable. Almost.
10/10 a worthy time sink! Love the lore, missions and characters, especially the economy simulation.
The best space sim for building a massive economic war empire. Highly recommended. LOVE IT!
best space combat simulator I have played. deep economy system, trading, mining, and crafting components, hire jobs out. great game steep and long learning curve.
complet pour un jeu de gestion et remarquable comme space sim. Seul bémol pas de phase planètaire
