Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
17 of 41 sampled reviews raised it
It comes with HOTAS support and a cockpit view feature (you start in 3rd-person but can switch it if preferred) which makes it a good space dogfighting simulator if you're in the mood for some space combat.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
15 of 41 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay is a lot of fun and I hope for multyplayer sometimes.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
6 of 41 sampled reviews raised it
In short, this game is what you can expect from space game classics of the year 2000-2010, but with modern graphics and perfect playability for the casual gamer or for the nostalgic gamer looking for a good remake of the old classics à la Privateer etc.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
5 of 41 sampled reviews raised it
Controller support is good when actually playing but there is no way in game to see controller-specific inputs for several actions; I had to manually press every button on the controller to find out how to use my class abilities.
