What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The voice acting is charming, the writing is a bit overwrought but campy and fun, the soundtrack hits where it needs to, and the prospect of exploring a massive open galaxy is enticing.
The action oriented gameplay will keep the casual gamer entertained while the strategy, resource management, ship design, variety of weapons/components, factions, and options allows players to go as deep as they wish.
Is this basically SPAZ 1 with better graphics?

I found controller support was a bit flaky, but I gave up on it in the end anyway, as I much preferred keyboard and mouse.
Theme by theme

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. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
