endless hours of fun if you like to build a space empire/trade empire/pirate corp
I have to admit, i pirated this game first because i didnt think it was worth it.. After over 25 hours of a lot of fun starting out as a lonely pirate and working my way up and still feeling like there are so many things to do and so much gameplay to uncover i had to purchase the collection and leave a review. This is a phenomenal game. The whole universe is simulated, even if you are in one area far away maybe one faction in the other side of the galaxy is starting their expansion plans , if you have sattelites there you might see it if not only when you actually visit or send scouts. You can do things yourself or, you can hire pilots and crew and purchase aditional ships to do it for you (not as well but suitably) I know you can also build bases and stations but in my around 35 hours of current gameplay i havent started that yet, so i cant speak too much about how base building works but it seems very complex and cool. Honestly this is a great mix of elite dangerous and stellaris it´s not as good in flying and combat as elite, not as good in empire sim as stellaris, but it´s the absolute best game i have seen that has both of those in a single game.
First of all, i'm having a lot of fun with this.. it's the most fun ive had and most engrossed i've been with a game since mass effect 1-2 and witcher 3. the story , characters, graphics, writing and voice work are all some of the best ive ever seen.. It does feel a bit rushed and at the current moment, some patches and tweaks need to happen but considering how they handled the witcher series i'm positive that they will happen and it will become even better. as far as gameplay goes i've only had time to test the stealth-type hacker character and with 15 hours of play havent reached all the skillset has to offer yet, but it's a lot of fun and it's exacrtly what i wanted the newer deus ex games to have been. overall, i like it a lot, it'll be better when more patches come out but still preety good. solid 4.5 out of 5 for me
I am sad to admit that as much as i tried to i couldn´t get into POE1.. Tried several times and always gave up. I decided to try POE2 to see if it could resparkle that baldurs gate 2 flame in my heart and i´m glad i did. It´s a huge improvement over the last product, with lots of voice acting, better animations, better graphics, an overhauled and much more interesting battle system with intricate AI configurations you can tweak for optimal tactical supremacy. honestly, it´s just good. i am quite happy with it, highly recommend it to anyone that likes baldurs gate and crpgs in general
