Very cool game, the best yet from Hazelight. The last few levels are incredible!

IMO, this is the best space sim available today.

It's far from perfect. It has a steep learning curve (I'm barely starting to get used to things at over 100h played), the UI is not that great, the AI can be janky at times...

But it has a sense of "immersive scale" unlike anything I've seen. Flying by a huge carrier-class ship is quite the thing. And then you realize you can dock on it, get out of your ship and walk on it. And you can actually own a ship like this and fly it by yourself. Not only that, you can actually build and operate a frigging space station that can build this kind of ship.

You can be a solo pilot minding your own business, doing small missions here and there, upgrading your ship when you have the money. You can operate a small mining operation, selling ore to the highest bidder. You can be a pirate, intercepting traders and stealing their ships. You can be a mega-corporation, owning stations across the galaxy and thousands of ships.

And so. much. more. And the best thing is: your actions actually affect the simulation. For example, if you want, you can cut off supply to a strategic resource from a faction you don't like, and then they can't build ships anymore and maybe they lose controls of key sectors because of this.

And lastly, the devs are great at supporting the game and they are active with the community.

Highly recommended, as long as you are prepared to invest the time in it.

Disclaimer: this is not my usual kind of game. I got it in a bundle so I gave it a try.

It's just alright. I thought most songs were pretty cheesy, but some were okay. The story was nothing special IMO. The gameplay is pretty barebones, mostly limited to choosing one of three options to direct the songs in the direction you want to go. I don't think you can really loose, but I just did one single playthrough.
