The game is a confused mess, unsure of what it wants to be it hops for poor driving sections, to sluggish attempts at a kenetic fps. The controls in every facet of the game seek to pull you out of the experience due to poor layouts, the cars feel like theyre soap box racers, or on ice, and the menus feel like they belong back in the tabletop game which inspired it... Even worse are the texture pop ins, T posing characters, and other glitches that should not be in a game as long in the tooth as this! Save you money, find a game in the any of the genres this tries to be and I can assure you that you will have a far more pleasant time.
After playing the 1st Rebel Galaxy and enjoying it, bar the difficulty ramp at the end game, I was looking forward to this title. Boy was I wrong, the game is worse in almost every way, it seems that the devs took the feedback from the last game, and doubled down on every negative aspect. The UI is bad, information is hidden or not available, the 3d radar is useless, the starting ship is paper. The camera is now fixed, except when jumping, and if you like the external view its far too close to the ship making figuring out where youre being shot from next to impossible. There is a story, but it doesnt tell you if its prior to the 1st game or after, I assumed prior due to the characters age but I could be wrong. In fact it doesnt tell you much at all. At £4 it might be worth a try, but there is a reason most youtubers stopped this after 1-2 videos. Its just not a good game.
Played through this game and was left underwhelmed. Not only is the game short but its barely a game. There is very little content either in terms of actual gameplay, story or mechanics. Those pieces that are there seems to suffer the Eastern European concept of just throwing things at the player and expecting them to work it out, be it the new puzzle mechanics for the train that never have a tutorial, the purpose of the protagonist – much of the game sees you going places with little purpose at all, what is going on in the world around you, or anything else. The stages/acts that the game is set up around have no reason to exist as again, there is nothing separating them from what came before. The sections when you are off the train are dull and repetitive, walk around in a loop of the stage until you find the code and walk back to train, repeat for the entire game until it randomly and without warning ends. The worst part is the ending, which is only made worse by the fact that you have no idea what’s going on or why you are doing anything. There is no purpose and so you just hold right in the hopes the game finally lets slip why it exists in the 1st place. This is also compounded by the sheer lack of translation that brings another layer of confusion to an already poor game. If you really – really need this game, wait until a sale or otherwise avoid.
