What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Game has campaign and sandbox mode that lets you set up engangements around astronomical body and ships for both sides of engagement.
Combined with the scientific approach to gameplay, the atmosphere becomes uniquely immersive for players interested in hard science fiction.
I really wish that more games were like this in having this amount of realism and scientific simulation, and I would love to see a multiplayer version of this with improved graphics, perhaps where you could fight a war created by you against other players in a solar system.
The sound design is great - there is no sound in space, but you will be enjoying the terrifying and visceral noises of your armor being pummeled by hypervelocity slugs and your crew compartment violently depressurizing.
