It's an amazing experience. The gameplay loop of combat and exploration never becomes stale, the way you design your own ship offers a lot of freedom while being mechanically interesting, and the map just seems to grow when you thought you've seen everything. The story offers some really thought-provoking sci-fi concepts but it's not dry. The characters have some real life to them and the alien races are uniquely designed. 10/10 or 5/5, definitely worth the full price, a steal on any kind of sale.
