Viewed in isolation, Star Control Origins is a fun galactic romp, an exploration RPG with the standard-ish heroic faire. Emulates the form of Star Control 2 : The UrQuan Masters. Here's how SC:Origins compares to it: +Better graphics +Well executed alien races. Familiar but not repetitive +Fixed the combat to hyperspace death spiral +Improved combat arenas, presentation, controls, and an option to let the computer fight for you. +More interesting hyperspace travel, allowing sneak peaks into solar systems so the player isn't making exploratory choices as blindly. +Generally less prominent 'seams' between modes of play. -The dangers of exploration have *all* been substantially eased back. To the point of being ignorable.* -The resource budget is extremely generous. Almost ignorable. -The combat AI is prone to taking the tactical approach most likely to see it's ship destroyed without inflicting any damage (ranged units maintain point-blank distance with flamethrower enemies, spinning in a corner of the map without firing a shot, etc). Not always, not infrequently. -There's no longer a mid-flight escape option. Fleeing can only be done after a ship is destroyed. That's a whole cost analysis minigame removed. In summation, SC:O is well made and well polished, fine moment to moment, but not any challenge. There's no scrappy underdog feeling. It hits the beats of SC2 but missed the fulfillment of hardships overcome. It's 2012 X-Com. If you loved 1994, you see what's missing. Maybe you have room for both? * The "violent overlord" race is less competent in a fight, fuel is a joke, replacement landers cost pennies, the aliens are placed in the galaxy in the most human-friendly way possible, the...thing...that happens... is repeatedly foreshadowed in real time instead of a slap-your-head-moment (and in my playthrough was easily overcome without particularly focusing on it's danger) and the nonstandard travel option is both immediately unlocked and intuitive to use.
