Enjoyed X3TC very much and was worried about this one due to so many negative reviews I had seen in general. After having played nearly 20 hours of this latest version of the game, I feel it needs to get more attention. It is awesome and deserves to be played by more people. If you don't learn the game, some of the criticism is deserved; stations can be repetitive, the smalltalk minigames seem annoying, highways seem stupid, you have to scan stations, etc. But if you have patience to learn how things work together, you'll find everything has some utility and this game is extremely deep and rewarding. After reading wikis and watching videos, I still have only scratched the surface. I can confirm the learning curve is deep and probably not for casual gamers. But if you like complex, open-world sims, this is worth the time. Highly recommend 9/10.
On the surface, you might assume this game looks like a simple text-based or point and click game. It's from either of these. This is a fantastic turn based, strategy-survival game. It is incredibly deep and engaging. Many different options at each turn. Lots of ways to manipulate your character and the environment around you. You have just one life. If you die, the game starts over again. Really impactful on how you make your choices. I am thoroughly enjoying playing Neo Scavenger. A great value even at full price. You can believe the community ratings on this one.
