Pros: nice graphics, smooth game even in high resolution, expansive universe, many planets, possibility to explore each planet, inducing underground and underwater Cons: after a while become repetitive, every second or third planet seems to be the same, every new race seems to be the same In short: exploration game without goal, becomes boring after while. What is a point of keep collecting and selling resources... Was it worth $60 or so I paid? No, it was not. It should cost about $20 and that is all. 2 starts for price asked.
I got this game after many rave reviews and in hope to bring some experience of HMM. Without going too much into details, unfortunately it did not work for me. I am sure some people will like it, but for others like myself, it simply does not cut in.
