It takes awhile to build a half decent deck but the artwork is excellent so even the weaker cards are worth collecting.
V-sync causes unplayable stuttering, mouse polling rates above 250 causes similar and corrupt game files if you switch from DirectX 12 to 11 - other than that it is a good game.
So I didn't pay full price and to be honest I would not have been disappointed if I had. This is a fun 3D space shooter with some side games - it is straight out of the original Privateer and therefore WingCommander play book. Go here - shoot that - pick up some cargo - drop it off - even has the nav point missions. I thoroughly enjoy playing this game - you can even swap the ingame music for your own mixtape. Definitely worth the £16 it is on sale for at the moment.
A significant amount of my youth was spent playing Ultima V the first time around (EGA, Amstrad PC1640 - swapping 5.25 inch disks) - now available without the floppy changing and with its pre and se qual - what's not to like. I still have an exercise book full of notes - keywords for converstions by npc and location, extra spell formulae, mantra's and translations for all the runes writings. As a role playing game it has enough plot and options unseen at the time (you could even go bad - get hold of the jeweled weapons as part of the oppression - "tell him tactus sent thee"), dungeons, an underworld and a world map that felt huge (moon gates helped a bit) . Right time to break out the cloth map and go thwart Blackthorn's oppression again. The Raven See's, the raven saw, and in the corn, he sayeth "Cah".
