The WhatsNext verdict
For Players who want fast space combat, exploration, and a steady stream of loot and upgrades: Pilot through handcrafted space and planetary environments, fight in a single-player shooter, and build up your ship with RPG progression, mining, and crafting. Tradeoff: The loot and upgrade loop sits alongside frequent combat, so players seeking a quieter exploration game may find the pace busy.
