Go to hell. You never even tried to deliver the game you advertised. Don't buy this thing.

Go buy original KSP if you haven't, load a ton of really quality mods, and don't buy any of the expansions.

Boring

It has great potential, but it's just... boring. Typical Bethesda at this point.

Shoot em up, weapon wear, arbitrary equipment upgrades that don't mean anything because you will find a better gun in 30 minutes....

The music is fantastic. Great soundtrack and the main reason to enjoy the game.

Amazing Game

Review changed back to positive. Sony backed off and let us enjoy our game that Arrowhead worked so hard on.

Meh

Big Stellaris and Star Trek fan, but just...... meh.

Lots of possibility here, but Stellaris is a far better game. Wait for more time to pass and perhaps more updates. Not upset that I bought this, it's just not worth it yet.

The music is a sore disappointment. It's semi thematic generic background scores instead of using the actual franchise themes in places. Huge loss here. Not sure if they couldn't obtain the music licence to utilize themes in their score, but it's pretty bad. Mute the audio and play star trek musics in the background on youtube or something.

Exceptionally well done game for the state of development that it is in. The UI is a bit rough, but the core mechanics are very solid. Easily fixed after the internal workings are adjusted as needed.

Each faction has a different response to the aliens and that plus the random resource rolls for space bodies makes replay value rank very high.

When they say it's a long war, it's a LONG war. Time passes slow even on full speed, but that's okay. You can be 30 hours into a single save and be about 30% through the game. Especially if you're newer. Starting over is not a bad option after you get the hang of it. As said, it's quite replayable.

The music gets a bit repetitive, but it's still so early that it's not a concern at all. Try muting it and playing music from other grand strategy games in the background. It does help with the feel!

This is an online solo game and nothing more. I refuse to risk hours of exploration work from the bubble to the far rim and discoveries to have anything to do with PVP players that hide, gank, and get away with no consequences.

Solo play is the only reason this game is still somewhat playable. It's nowhere near the experience that it should be. The realistic physics, dealing with gravity and flying in 3 dimensions are wonderful.

I just can't find myself recommending it

The most frustratingly amusing game ever made. I'm terrible at it, but I don't care. Creating alternate histories is amazing :D

It's very bland. You can't generally complete projects of one age before advancing, so you're always lagging behind. We're all pretty used to the Civilization framework, and this doesn't really fit it. Not a bad thing, but it's non intuitive.

It's not that entertaining or fun to play this game, and it's just plain boring.

Legos in Space!

Also, reviewing to counter stupid review bombs :)

Pay to Play = Garbage Dump. Sell me the actual game for $xx and expansions after. Screw this, I'll just keep playing my actual copies.

It's absolutely mind boggling that the PC always rolls exactly what it needs in this game.

I've played countless Memoir games IRL and played all expansions including overlord scenarios. I'm well versed in this game, yet the computer version very poorly represents the bell curve.

Playing as Japan in this version is a joke. Playing IRL, you can absolutely dominate the battlefield with their special rules. Here? The computer magically rolls all infantry rolls when it attacks. Multiple plays through all scenarios that the Allies are "supposed" to win. We can't have the computer lose and throw those numbers off, now can we. Yet when playing a scenerio that Japan "should" win, the computer magically sucks at rolling all of a sudden.

That plus having to pay gold to play a match is why this is basically dead already. No more then a dozen people on at at time.

Don't waste time and money. Buy a copy of the actual game for yourself and enjoy hours upon hours of play.
