Hard science fiction game of my dreams!
If you have grown up reading Asimov and Dune you must buy this game! The Universe is littered with references not only from classic Sci-fi but also real life Science (one of the crew members is named Karl popper for example.) The game is very FTL like but with more tactical depth. The drone combat happens in a board game style hexagon space with procedurally generated asteroid fields, automated turrets, EMP towers etc.. Making each encounter have a unique way in which to gain an edge. For example I had acquired what seemed like a useless teleporter gun which did no damage. However on a map with automated turrets teleporting it into turret range is an effective way to take out enemy drones without doing any work. I saw other reviews complaining about the Ground expeditions, I do recommend speeding them up to the 3x speed to make them go faster but the ground expeditions are exciting if you understand what is happening during them. Not every expedition is capable of giving the same rewards, Cryo pods can only give extra Crew mates for example. Planning which expeditions to go on depending on your needs such as more crew or a chance to find new ship weapons or just trying to get more scrap is where the decision making factors into this aspect of the game. Other complaints I saw were about differentiating between the drones on the battlefield. While this is somewhat true( you can actually tell which drones are higher grade by how MANY there are, not so much what they look like). But the game provides a useful UI on the side to help you direct the exact Drone squads you want anyway. The story! The story! Its like every one of my favourite Sci-fi stories all rolled into one and I still didn't know how it was going to end. I actually think the story in this game is better than the way the later Dune books evolved. So what dont I like? Lack of variety in the random encounters (hoping they fix this) Similar situations do frequently occur and resolve in similar ways....
