The highest praise I can give the game is this. Any game is fun with friends. That's not the game being fun, that's your friends being fun. This game is fun solo, with randoms, or with friends. Give it a try, I think you'll thoroughly enjoy it.

Update November 25 2020
Several months later and the game is still excellent. New missions are a ton of fun. Unfortunately I have to dock some points for the amount of small bugs present in the game. Nothing game breaking, but they can get annoying after a while.

Update March 7 2021
This update is a little while after U33 landed bringing with it new dreadnoughts, some mission refinements, two new mactera, and two new biomes. I'm impressed with the new biomes, they offer a refreshing change of pace compared to the previous ones. They do stand apart however, they're more detailed than the other biomes and performance can be worse. That being said, it isn't a significant reduction and they did a fantastic job optimizing them.

Update November 23 2023
It continues to be fun.
