What's great about this game is that you can do practically anything and at any pace you want. Want to ignore the missions or build a railway to the center of the planet or explore other planets? Then go right ahead! As long as you're having fun that's all that matters! If you are seeking a space game with a story that is where it falls short. For a game that didn't always have one, it does its best. Though it's not something you really get to see or go into if you don't play through the missions or read the comics. Which allows the player to make their own kind of story. The newly released custom games update now allows for you to customize worlds, allowing you to give yourself more challenges or make it easier, change the starting planet or make it so you don't require tethers for oxygen! This game has improved so much since first coming out to the public and it has gotten better and more fun with every new update. I highly recommend giving this game a shot whether you are playing by yourself or with a friend!
