It's everyone's dream (commanding a beat up space ship, keeping it running with a small crew as you schlep across the galaxy) and FTL gives it to you in a way no video game has done before. Instead of flying about with a joystick, in FTL you really do command the ship. Order your crew about, engage in combat, and make increasingly-tough decisions in a spectacular game that'll make you want to come back again and again for more. If you aren't on the edge of your seat within minutes (every time you play) then you're probably playing a different game.
