Its Good!
This is not a perfect game. It's not a masterpiece. But it IS a great experience if you enjoy the originals. Stardock is one of my favorite developers even though their games often get shipped with problems, so I may have a bit of a bias here. The story is very interesting as well.

A missed opportunity
Being a fan of the original Star Control 2, I had high expectations on this one. Sadly, I was disappointed as Star Control Origins is just... meh. I'll start with the good before turning to the bad. Sound and Music Well crafted and consistent with the game world. A bit repetitive but don't we all listen to our favourite songs more than once? Graphics OK-ish. The first few visits to planets left a lasting impression. Sadly, the more you play, the more you'll realise that everything looks the same and there is heavy reuse of assets. Sometimes, the 3D part of the game stutters and revelas performance issues. Gameplay The battles are fun at first even though they get boring quite fast. The enemies are just cannon fodder once you upgraded your ship a bit. What made me furious: Most ships you can get hold of just suck in comparison with your main ship. So all the variety that made SC2 so great is lost here. Gathering resources on planets is just boring after a few systems and there is nothing to find there anywhere - you don't need much money to finish the game, the resources are all the same everywhere and abundant. Story "Haven't we met before?" - The overall story is very simple. Meet aliens, form alliance against evil dudes with big helmets, a little twist, defeat boss enemies, done. Some of the aliens are quite charming, others forgettable. Sadly, the whole population of the alien people seem to consist of just two individuals, repeating the same lines over and over again. Quests This is the weakest part of the game. Bland go here, go there, fetch this, deliver there stuff. The main quest line is really not worth mentioning but the side quests are worst. It feels like they added some side quests as tech demo / examples but the vast majority of systems is just... empty. With the exception of the occasional crashed ship that always triggers the same dialog. Overall Unfinished. The game lacks content, lacks polishing, and has bugs that never got fixed.

A Remake Without Soul
The original Star Control II is one of my favorite games of all time. This incarnation somehow manages to take that game and its gameplay and rip the soul out of it without taking advantage of modern tech to improve it. The writing lacks the charm of the original and is awkward in its attempt at emulation. Really unfortunate.

Solid Choice
Pleasantly surprised by this game, did not realize what I was getting. Fun and interesting, only serious complaint is graphical issues causing ships and resources to not appear on the screen when too many things were supposed to be on the screen at the same time. Well worth the time and money in my book.

Middle of the Road
I loved the old school Star Control on the Megadrive and was eager to try this out. It plays in a very, VERY, similar way to star control 2 with all the exploring planet hopping and RPG style diplomacy with ye olde top down 2D ship to ship battles. Pretty decent graphics wise, a little cartoony but I didn't mind. Sadly it just gets a little repetitive, especially since I played Star Control 2 to death and back. I was hoping for something a little different. Well put together but ultimately a little dry and tedious, sadly the original games still rule the roost.
