Deep Space Dogfighting Collect-A-Thon
Battle waves of enemy ships in deep space whilst collecting consumables and upgrades like weapons/minerals/fuel and more in a bid to stay alive in one long continual run, with beautiful light and colour tones and plenty of derelict ships and mining vessels and places to explore.
There's a realistic and honestly portrayed feeling of deep expanse you don't usually get in cockpit style/space games and thanks to the additional rogulite element of item scavenging and re-spawning with a lower point of progression it's enough so that you still advance in the game but with death comes a heavy price to pay, at the same time you can upgrade the ship and the weapons and a lot more, so being prudent is the aim to keep alive throughout, all of this adds a strong level of replayability to keep you always wanting another go around, or makes you want to dig your heels in and stick it out either way works and doesn't get old.
But the overall goa for me is to become the best the unbeatable beast and that will take time and experience to achieve which this game as far as space games go actually makes you want to learn to be good at playing it and it's positive qualities help you to not abandon it quickly, this is a rare little gem and is ultra cheap when on sale usually.
A major added bonus is the play time the overall game completion length it's a quantum leap beyond most average game lengths let alone a space game and this brings immense value for money as well as having an additional DLC available for extra content which apparently includes new NPC's in that also this too is also cheap when on sale.
It's a great space game it's not over zealous not to heavy on resource overheads spec wiseand has a reasonable 9-10gb install size, it looks amazing. It also plays very well with gamepads and it feels fluid and professional through and through, it's a good buy and it doesn't feel sparse or abandonware like most deep space shooters do, and it feels almost like your there in some ways in that deep darkness moving that control stick inaside of that ship on and off it's a great feeling, I'm betting it would be amazing on a hi-res projector as well n 1080p or higher if it does it.
My score 4.3 out of 5 if only I could add partial stars
