The game throws you into the Star Trek: Prodigy universe! Star Trek: Prodigy as a show is about introducing younger audiences to Star Trek. Therefore teaching some of Star Trek's values in new ways. One of the common ones is always climate change and looking after the planet. It's a major issue for us in the world right now. However, I was pleasantly surprised while playing the game to find it touches on the issue. Through in-game dialogue, we learn the planet you start on dried up due to Global Warming. Janeway references the 21st century.

I've got to commend the soundtrack of the game. Whether it is ambient music while sitting on the main menu or mission-specific tracks, it feels like we're inside Star Trek: Prodigy, but it is still original to the game itself. Overall the game does feel like we've just stepped into the series. The sounds and character voices add to the authenticity of gameplay and storytelling. My only concern is when it comes to the game's combat. As I mentioned earlier, the repetitiveness of it could bore some.

The graphics of the game are something to talk about. While the in-game graphics and cut scenes are fantastic, I was disappointed by the opening cinematic. However, I can put this down to myself and the players being used to the cinematic quality of the series. But loading In and seeing only storyboard cut scenes are a little bit of an odd choice. Though I guess it does make sense for the sake of the story and target audience.

Ever wanted to destroy massive starships? If so this is the game for you!
I've played the game for many years before the Steam release and i can only say that the game coming to Steam is a massive imporvement for not only Dreadnought but also the community behind it.

As a F2P game, it is simply awesome.
One of my favourite things is that the idea of purchasing ships etc isnt thrown at you / forced, you can still get the ships via working in game for it, which is something i love as it means not spending :D
I would not class the game as Pay2Win, but rather Pay2Progress, but as i stated above you can still work for these items so it's really up to you for what you would like to do.

Overall i would reccomend that you pickup and try this game, see if you like it, i know i do :)

Good game. Can be hard at some points and some features are a bit weird...
Found problems where citizens who are set as Technicians dont actually repair your machines so you eventually die...

SPACE CIVLIZATION

Designing, creating and then blowing up space ships? YES PLEASE!
Space Engineers allows you to express creative freedom in a fun and delightful sandbox environment , while also taking advantage of complex physics!

Overall i have enjoyed nearly 6 years of adventures in this game and will continue to do so.
