I would've recommended this game on the gameplay alone. Very fluid combat mechanics, just the right amount of challenging, but not punishing you for your mistakes in a severe way. Kind of feels a bit like the pace of a hotline miami game in a way. Satisfying easy-to-pick up movement and combat. However...

The story of this game got me f***ed up. Had me feeling things from beginning to end. Beautiful Slice of Life full of the wide range of human emotions. Full of tragedy, anger, sadness, frustration, grief...regrets...and yet these glimmering pieces of love and kindness shine through in between. Absolutely 10/10 game.

There are few games I've ever played that really nail the feel of arcade-y space/air combat. This game does it flawlessly. The controls are incredibly simple and intuitive, but are set at a pace that makes the game endlessly satisfying. Great use of sound design and art to create a truly distinct atmosphere when playing. I easily get lost in this world.

What I mostly judge for Early Access is how fluid/enjoyable the core gameplay mechanics are, along with whatever systems are in place. This game is all mechanics right now, and they are literally perfect. The upgrade system continues to be developed, and maintains good game balance.

I am excited for whatever the "Full Release" version of this game looks like, and any new content that will bring. But even if it never gets there, this was a $10 well spent. This game is unique and very VERY well built. Highly recommend.

This game absolutely has my vote for the "I'm not crying, there's just something in my eye" award

I have never cried so hard and so much for any game ever, and this game has more to offer in 4 hours, than any other game you'll find playing for 30+. The storyline is so beautiful and complex, yet easy to follow in the most unique representation of a love story, and the most heartwrenching soundtrack coupled with perfectly fitting art, you have yourself one of the greatest games we will ever find.

This game had so much potential in it's beginning, and usually brought some pretty good updates, it's community was active and generally decent people, and developers didn't have a negative relationship with players. Now, where we are now is where we have been for about a year now: In terms of updates, it's 1 step forward 3 steps back - we're made to believe that something cool is coming, or something good is coming, and sometimes it does, but usually updates that follow are either 1) ignoring problems with previous updates 2) fixing "problems" that never existed 3) Creating fixes for problems that actually then create worse problems 4) Make it more Pay-to-Win 5) add new useless, bad, or pay-to-win features/items.

I can no longer say that I still play it for the game, rather I only play it because of the bonds I've forged with many of the pilots in my corporation, and I don't want to leave that. I wouldn't recommend that anyone new wastes their time with this game.
