One of the best space sim games out there....
Now, for those of you who were not around when Elite rocked everybody's world, Elite was a pivotal point in the history of gaming. It changed the way a lot of us looked at games and raised the bar for everything released after it.
This is in that same vein, it is not a 'fly by the seat of your pants' space adventure where you fight your way through wave after wave of naughty aliens. This is more of a slow burning, deep and involved journey of discovery.
In this massive universe, you can do almost whatever you like. Be that trade, fight, smuggle, pirate or bounty hunt to your hearts desire. You can build an entire manufacturing and industrial empire with fleets of ships at your command or just fly around with nothing but a little jet pack on your back!
This game is a thing of beauty and it deserves your attention, but only if this is the type of game that you like playing. Action heads need not apply.
