Freelancer's underachieving succesor

Space exploration sim, not as involved or huge as Elite Dangerous, but it sits closer to the classic Freelancer, + A good amount of star systems to explore + get into dogfightsor haul cargo around if you feel like it, cooperate with the authorities or become a space pirate. + you can customize several aspects of the power output on the fly to adapt to the situation + The fact you can choose a custom music folder to use as a radio station inside the game was a nice touch. But not all is good, - there's no personal hangar so no option of having different ships for different situations, - ship selection is very limited and you cannot customize different parts, just upgrade the shileds hull and cargo depending on the base capabilities of the ship - there's no way to customize the way you group up weapons, you either use one or all at any given time (you can technically use 2 weapons at the same time if you equip the same weapon in 2 different slots, but that sucks big time) - Mining is poorly implemented, first you have to use a mining laser that takes one weapon slot, and it drains energy very fast whcih make it impossible to use in combat , specially if you want to use the "all weapons" setup mentioned before, and that's why I abandoned mining half way throw the game - The story is nothing to write home about, and mid game those story missions get pretty spicy, throwing you into 1v8 fights (whcih wouldn't be so bad if you could have several ships for every situation Honestly, I had fun with it, but I felt like it didn't reach the same heights of Freelancer, it improves in some aspects, but it doesn't in other, game crashed several times while fast traveling too. Get in on discount if you are curious about it

Fizzles

I don't write many reviews nowadays as I want to hit the right note, and I often fail. This game gives me precisely this feeling, and this is why I felt I needed to write this review. This game consists of two parts: a space exploration and trade game like Elite, and an RPG. This combination can be potent, but it doesn't work in this game. Let's get the role-play element out of the way first, as it is the weakest part. The story's lead, Juno, is on a quest to find out who killed her husband). The crucial question is: Why should I care? And the answer for this game is: I don't. I don't know the husband, so I cannot relate to him. This isn't helped by Juno, a jaded, cynical person, showing zero emotion towards her deceased husband or anything else. Contrast this with a game like Venetica, in which Scarlett's companion is killed, and she goes on the same quest as Juno. While we don't know her partner, the game introduces us to emotional scenes, and Scarlett is just a much nicer person than Juno and is emotionally affected. The idea was that Juno was a kind of Han Solo character, but they forgot that Han Solo is a side character that only functions as a counterpoint to Luke and Lea. In other words, the RPG part is uninteresting, and I lost interest. The other part is the space exploration and trading game, and this is half-baked. Pivotal to space exploration and trading is finding new places that offer new sights and opportunities. There is nothing in this game. If they had tied the story and space element together and made Juno likable, I am sure the game would have been better. As it stands, the game is okay for a while, but it is also a missed opportunity.

Not worth it

If you're like me you have played the first Rebel Galaxy and maybe even enjoyed it. I am also a long time player of this genre, space flight sims. I have lots of experience with them and RGO gets a lot of it right, at least on the surface. Give this game a few hours and its flaws are grossly apparent. Specifically the scaling difficulty. Normally a little bit of difficulty scaling makes snese, but this quickly outpaces you to the point when you're busy trying to save up for that first new ship but the enemies you face are based entirely on the money you carry and the upgrade values of your ship components. So this means that you gain money and start saving, but because you don't keep upgrading your ship, the game is more easily able to wipe you. And wipe you they do. Even if you do persue upgrades, you'll always have to fight by the skin of your teeth, and if every fight is that close then the tension just evaporates and instead of exciting, it is excruciating. Within four hours of playing you'll regularly have to fight off 6 or more enemies at once, you have literally seconds or die when you come out of auto pilot and running almost never ever works as the enemies will chase you forever it seems. You really have about two hours of play to learn almost all of this games systems or you are at a disadvantage. Constantly I was getting killed because I didn't know how to do something yet, I was still learning. I really can not understand how developers didn't get feedback like this. Almost every review seems to mention how the difficulty screws over the player. Despite the rocking soundtrack, just don't. Just don't bother with this. You'll be happier if you don't.

Privateer But Mediocre

If you loved Rebel Galaxy (Hello!) prepare to have the same game but re-skinned and tweaked so it's less fun. If you loved Privateer (Hello!) this game is basically that but with worse combat and more grind. I have some personal stuff I know shouldn't apply here but I'll say it anyway: 1) Gods, but I am fed up of the Honky-Tonk Space Cowboy milieu; the 'Frontier' comparison is lazy, cliched and overworked. Where's my Space Samurai? Space Brits? Space Mexicans? Space Metallers? Space-anything-else?? (Borderlands, please also take note) 2) Dogfighting that consists of endless spinning to achieve a lock is SO 20th century. I'm really done with it. It shouldn't ever come down to boring medieval jousting either. Please, for the love of god, somebody do something more interesting and inventive in this space. Even current airplanes don't fight this way anymore. Back to the game itself: The graphics: are nice, but look more cartoony than the original. I'm not a fan. I do appreciate the retro-style ship HUD but honestly it's designed with so many greebles that do nothing but distract, that I find myself wanting something cleaner and more modern. Mission types are few and repeated endlessly. I can stand only so much repetition before I get bored. Possibly why I haven't missed Privateer or Elite that much: people forget that they're grind-fests. I hate that the intro-movie is 10x more interesting than actually playing the game. Controls are not as intuitive as in Rebel Galaxy. In short: I wanted to love this game, was upset when it went EPIC Exclusive, waited until now to buy it (on sale, for less than a fiver) and am still disappointed with it. Sometimes old games were classics because we didn't have anything better at the time. And sometimes the old is made fresh but without really understanding what made the first game so good (Carrier Command, *coughcough*) This is an example of both, I think.

Disappointing

I loved the first Rebel Galaxy. I put dozens of hours into the game, which became for me a benchmark of good indie game. So maybe my expectations for the sequel were too high. I didn't like the change in combat style, the fast pace, and the cluttered look. I understand that it is a totally different proposal, but I have not been able to enjoy it.
