very fun. hoping for new ship models at some point. can be pretty addictive, havent really had any problems with the game at all. but can feel a bit repetitive a bit later on. really looking foreword to the future content.

Got softlocked in a mission because it checkpointed in a spot where I can't escape autokill. Awesome, thanks.

Space combat is fun, but the dialogue and story are terrible. Cutscenes are choppy and look poorly animated. Also the mid game becomes grindy and tedious.

This game is tedious and repetative. It forces you to play these stupid games that are a lot like find the pickle by just flying around looking for things... in space... The dialog feels like it was written by a child. You're forced to play this weeny pilot who is constantly doing or saying dumb things just for "plot". This is nothing like Freelancer. Also the combat feels the exact same at lvl one as it does at lvl 18... Do not recommend.

Finally someone that made game that combine Starlancer, Descent and DIablo. It is a space ARPG, so the accent is on exploration, loot, builds and action. And it looks beautiful. Don't expect great story but if you like shooting, looting and lots of exploration - this game is for you.

man toggling intertia on/off to pull some sickass 4d drifts while I spam rockets, it feels so good

Starts off slow, but once the game opens up (takes about 2ish hours), I found that I was hooked. Def scratches that "Diablo in Space" itch.

Genuinely a "great" game but i wouldn't recommend this to anyone. It's a flawless experience till you start noticing the small issues.

to begin with, the story is hilariously bad, they never allow you to get attached to the characters due to how shallow they feel. the missions associated with the story are insanely easy compared to basically every random encounter u can come across.

controls are fine (only played with controller) but dear god the aim assist is god awful, it overwrites the lock-on system which makes the lock-on system completely meaningless outside of a few specific weapon cases.
(nvm it's even worse, it sometimes overwrites it (which i think is cause the aim assist is really inconsistent with how much the aim is getting assisted))

When enemy reinforcements come in they usually spawn basically on top of you and well within their weapons range, meaning that they start shooting the second they appear, making the railgun next to useles in some events.
The fact that they spawn in right on top of u makes it so you're basically forced to play medium or heavy ships cause if they spawn in with certain loadouts you're basically insta killed unless you burn basically all your consumables with a light ship since they're more evasive but basically not able to be used like that when u have random ships appearing out of nowhere right behind you whilst you're fighting something else in front of u.

However the game is great when these things don't happen but they're frequent enough that it's hard to recommend it when these things happen so often.

I am getting vibes of AC Black Flag here
