What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Yes, there are cliches and reused elements here and there, but as a whole it comes together as a distinct universe, with interesting places, factions and several memorable characters you can get invested in
- plenty of variety in terms of gameplay, lots of cool side missions (loved them!), puzzles (loved them! - many simple or cookie-cutter ones, but quite a few creative and fun ones), random jobs and encounters of many different types, racing, nice achievements to hunt for, there is always something else to do when you get bored with one activity (but if you just want combat, there's plenty of it as well!)
I run it on higher settings for the amazing visuals, on a 1080p monitor, and my RTX 3060 with my Core i5-13600KF can mostly handle it just fine.
Much of the voice acting was super overacted and some of the characters like Maddox are just annoying and cringe.
On a whim I decided to try playing it again and decided I'd use my controller this time and this game is so good - the story is good, the exploration is amazing fun, the weapons and progression feel meaningful, hell even getting the ship colour upgrades from defeating enemies feels satisfying, even if it is just another shade of grey :)
I think they did zero optimization for Mac as most games that are made to run on Mac run flawlessly on it.

Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
