If you expect the vast open world of New vegas but in space you will prolly be disapointed , you can surely roam around a bit , but that is just it , a bit and do not expect to find elaborate huge story quest in the middle of nowhere or some weapon that is extra special to make you go "WOW". It is a very good game that I enjoyed but it is lacking in a few areas : the weapons are underwhelming , no real variety , the perk system is meeeh , the story is OK but not anything special. I did like the charachters but would be better with a romance option and a bit more depth to them. The first part of the game are the best, it seems a bit cramped later on , it seems that the devs run out of time and/or money and had to push it out. Neverthe less a game that is fun and enjoyable.
I wanted to try the game as it looks interesting but the very second I read that it has time limit (any time limit , even something ludicrous like 5 hours per mission) is a deal braker for me , as It puts a time limit and the pressure that goes with it does not allow me to enjoy the game, explore, experiment , goof around if you will and generally enjoy the game the way I would like to , so not for me. Thanks to the reviewers that brought this to my attention as nothing like that is stated in the description.
