Why players love itThings to know

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
60 of 195 sampled reviews raised it
Beeing energy independant (in the beginning) makes exploring more relaxed and inexpensive.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
37 of 195 sampled reviews raised it
While I like the setting and the story in general, the writing is very dull, dry and terse.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
29 of 195 sampled reviews raised it
While allowing for some mouse interaction in menus, the UI is mostly designed to take keyboard input, but isn't painful to use because of that decision, and most gamers will feel at home right away: the arrow keys move your ships around in interesting ways, and major buttons like the spacebar or control keys handle the firing of weapons.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
14 of 195 sampled reviews raised it
Starry space backgrounds, mixed with the foreground composed of ships, planets and stations with textures that fit in perfectly.
