This is a faithful follow-up to one of my favorite games of all time. The shooting feels incredible, the stratagems are beautiful, and the bugs are hideous.

That being said there are a few issues I have, namely the lack of weapon and stratagem upgrades. You can upgrade the ship to make the stratagems slightly better but for the most part they barely touch the surface of adding personality to each orbital barrage. The weapons have no upgrades apart from being able to buy a new variant of the gun that is explosive or incendiary. Some of the weapons you can modify mid-mission such as changing fire-rate, flashlights and ranging which is great but doesn't replace the weapon upgrades.

I hope the developers add more upgrades and progression to weapons and stratagem that make our equipment feel personalized rather than a slightly faster cooldown or an extra barrage with higher damage.
