I like space, I like sci-fi, I like simulations and this game is giving me all of those plus a ♥♥♥♥-ton of other stuff. Only after 50 hours I bought H.O.T.A.S. because I wanted to be immersed into it and when I realized there are aliens and you can fight them, that was all I needed.

Don't get me wrong, now it's great even for new players, but when I started game hasn't told me ♥♥♥♥. It was like "here's your ship and ♥♥♥♥ off." It's still hard to learn, but when you do manage to learn how to fly like a badass it's so more satisfying. I've got a friend who played it before me but he was no use I mean only after 10 hours of nonstop playing I knew more about the controls than him. But it was all worth it, figuring out all the kinks and stuff around it.

FDev are working with the community to always moving the game forwards, fixing stuff, adding stuff, fixing stuff they added last time, fixing stuff they broke while they were adding stuff last time, fixing stuff they broke while they were fixing stuff that they added before and so on, but now it's actually really good, they did listen to the community feedback and it looks like the game is moving forward and in a good direction.

If you wanna fly your own ship, customize it how you see fit and discover new star systems that hasn't been yet discovered than this game is for you. There is 400 billion systems and only like 1% has been discovered. So get in, engineer that FSD and start jumping so you can get your name on the galaxy map forever...
