Full Review Follows:
This game was vastly overhyped as "Fallout in Space" which it is not. Not even close. This game is fun to play but there is very little actual content. The game feels an engine test or early alpha that never got made into a proper game.
Certainly the building blocks are there. The game mechanics are interesting and somewhat unique. Where they just failed completely is in the content. There's barely anything to do. This game needed several more years development.
You can easily spend hundreds of hours exploring a proper open world RPG like New Vegas, Fallout 3 or Skyrim and still not find everything. This game is barely 10 - 15 hours long and that's being generous. It's as if the developers put just enough work into it to get a functioning framework with 5% of the content done and decided "Meh, that's good enough... Ship it!".
They didn't even finish making all the weapons, the late game weapons are just identical upgraded versions of the starting weapons with "Mk2" or "Ultra" added to the name. There are only actually 3 or 4 sets of armor in the entire game, the rest of them are just slightly recolored versions of the same ones over and over.
Finally, It is most certainly not an open world. The game is a linear progression from tiny instanced zone to tiny instanced zone. Each location has a tiny handfull of quests, nothing whatsoever to explore, no easter eggs and nothing interesting to find. Frankly calling this an open world game deserves a class action lawsuit. It's blatantly false.
