Star Nomads 2 basically is true to its store description: 2D sandbox simulator, with meaningful economy, good space combat, leveling trees for perks and abilities (for you and squadmates), a good variety of ships and different weapon types and weapon levels (mk1-mk4), interesting quests, and different playstyles.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
43 of 129 sampled reviews raised it
Improving both the character & the ship are time-consuming tasks, but at the same time I don't feel it's a grind, since I find the game's combat system to be entrhalling.
Story

15 of 129 sampled reviews raised it
There's just enough story to let players make a moral decision on who to support and why three factions are constantly at each other's throats.
