This game is fun, a lot of fun. If you enjoy space combat, this game is for you. If you like exploration, again, this should be in your wheelhouse. Graphically it is stunning, gameplay is smooth and interesting, and there is a lot to see and do. But it does have one major, glaring flaw.

If you like to build and craft, erect bases, manage systems, or anything in that realm, this isn't for you. The game is enough fun that I keep coming back to it, but shallow enough that I keep getting bored. Making money is easy, so obtaining the best ships is easy. Exploration never really worked for me, and combat was never my style. And no matter how deep those two aspects are, that is really all there is.

That being said, its just that kind of game. It isn't made for gamers like me who like to build our base and manage our empires. Its meant for people that want to fly a spaceship and make it go pew pew. And there is nothing wrong with that. And it does it so well that even though I hate exploration and combat, I keep playing it. So yes, I do recommend it. And I desperately hope it will add some elements to appeal to crafty gamers as well, but it is still a good game without it.
