Great Classic!!

I played the first RG, and was instantly stoked to find a second game in the series. It entertained even more than the first. Why? The first RG had 2D combat and was easy to master. The second adds 3D combat and is much harder to master. If you want a solid shooter, with interesting characters. This is it!! And support the indie game makers that have truly made some diamonds in the rough.

Privateer in Dixieland

This game is so much like Privateer that "inpired by" is not the whole story. I loved Privateer and liked the obvious similarities between these two games from the beginning. The mechanics, the missions, the trading all are quite alike. The universe building isn't quite on the same level though. It's basically Privateer in Space-Dixieland including huge gas stations, drawling radio hosts, and a round or two of pool in run-down bars. T Unlike in Privateer there is a greater variety in missions, there is mining (which is superb) and piracy really is an option. It took me some time though to learn the nuances of the game. E.g. I did not know that mining is an option until the second playthrough, when I descovered that there are interesting mining spots on the map without waypoints that you have to zoom in quite near and then manually mark them and navigate to them. Also the weapons didn't quite make sense in the beginning. The game modes are not that easy to understand (I recommend doing the flight training before starting the game to know what is meant by flight assist and weapons assist - I am an old Privateer veteran and made my firt run-through in old school but doing my second on vetran). What really shines in my opinion is the humour of the radio stations. The stereotype presenter of the classic radio station for example or the honest ads just make me laugh again and again. I still don't like the colourful art style but you can't have everything I guess.

An updated Privateer.

There is a lot to say about retro revivals, some just go full retro because their genre was tied to the tech used at the time like most 2D platformers. Some like spacesims chafed under the reduced resolution and the compromises of running on a 286 CPU. Privateer was one of those games, while it fared incredibly well to the point I find it fun even if I didn't grow up with it (X-wing kid here) it still had a lot of limitations. In many ways this feels like a full 3D engine remake of Wing Commander Privateer, the look is intentionally grungy and colorful to emulate that particular look of the old Wing Commander engine but without the limitations. The basic gameplay is very similar but improved in basically everything: money-making activities are more varied, combat is more in line with Freespace or X-wing, some weird limitations and jankiness are gone. There are also a few more basic ship types compared to WCP with some variants unlockable through a sidequest (listen to the GTA-style in-game radio, there's an ad to guide you to it). The game has also more options for controls, while mouse and keyboard controls are apparently iffy (note: I can't play a spacesim M+K to save my life in general so I can't really judge those) the game makes extensive use of radial menus to allow for a gamepad but has also a more than decent HOTAS support with plenty of optional bindings to bypass most menus. Note that the game can be unabashedly retro in many aspects, the difficulty only influences the availability of control aids (third person camera, auto-pursuit and autoaim) and the starting equipment (will your starter radar have color coded friends or foe indicators? Not at the highest difficulties for sure!). The indie nature of the title is only betrayed by a few things here and there like the small cast of voice actors, overall this is a really polished game that set out to do its thing without losing sight of the goal and succeeds: if you grew up with these games in the 90s give it a try, if you didn't it's still a nice romp through retrofuture space USA that can be over in about 45 hours if you do everything.

Amazing Space Game

Great atmosphere, music, the character is great for men or women! Love this fuggin' space trucker game-feels like Starcraft meets Alien.
