Sunrider RIP, better name than Murray

Don't let this title fool you. Pretty good sequel a lot of us Sunrider fans were waiting for. First 3 battles and getting used to the momentum took a minute. Once you get the hang of it, it's a blast.

Never what's expected

Well, this game ruined me (in a good way). The tactical gameplay needed some time to get used to, but it's as satisfying as with previous titles (if not more) - including the ship upgrading progression. The hit-or-miss were only the introduced puzzles. The artwork is even more appealing than before, and the soundtrack is great (especially the final battle song - that banger came out of nowhere). The story is an intriguing space opera - until chapter 7 when the game decides to completely mess with you. The ending hit right (and people who felt severely railroaded by the previous title can finally get the much needed relief). I would of course recommend experiencing the previous 3 parts (2 in the free Mask of Arcadius, and 1 in Liberation Day), but this one especially hooked me. Can't wait what the devs will cook with the continuation.
