This game is truly the hidden gem of space sandbox games. Completely unique ship building, excellent upgrade & loot, and enough systems of progression in the game to keep it interesting. I had several failed attempts at getting into X4, and this game just blows it away both in terms of simplicity AND complexity.

Start off in a tiny little ship and no back story. Mine some ores, do some trading, run some missions, fight some bandits, build more and better ships, fight bosses, build space stations, build carriers, establish diplomatic relationships, declare wars. It's got all of the basics to make it a game while still being a sandbox.

If you're a little hesitant because it looks like Minecraft in space - the building consists of blocks and a few shapes, all of which can be resized and rotated. Your first ship is going to look silly, but that'll pass as you start getting better at building.

Another one of those games that I really want to learn because I have no clue what I’m doing but still manage to have a blast.

great game good fun and a lot to do
