I'll give it a positive review because I --do-- have fun playing it, but even after launch it's still barebones. It's fun to gather a quick warband and go marauding, but M&B I (especially with mods) is still the better experience.

Some of the quality of life adjustments (namely, the map) trivializes several parts of the game, but gosh. It's so much fun.

Much like crack, it's not very expensive and I keep coming back to it.

It's a shame it hasn't been properly patched, but the FAR patch does everything I want it to do and it's a very easy install.

This is one of the most beautiful and haunting games I've ever played. Post-apocalyptic settings usually make me cringe. but this was a sufficiently different take on an overused setting. The combat is tight. Reflexive and intuitive. The visuals are beautiful. And the plot is stunning. It seems almost cliched at first, in that it starts by telegraphing some obvious plot twists. But those only scratch the service of what's going on. I can't think of another game that had this much emotional impact, except maybe Analogue A Hate Story. 10/10

Ignore my playtime. I spend a lot of time playing this at various cons.

If you're looking for an accurate representation of what running a spaceship would be, this isn't exactly the game you're looking for. It's important to know that going in.

What this game really is a bizarre game of telephone, with numerous (hopefully) intoxicated players that don't have a complete view of what's going on trying to achieve missions in space. The captain wants to attack the enemy vessels attacking DS3. That's great. But that helmsmen has to get you there, and he has no idea where it is. So the captain gives him coordinates and vaguely describes what to do. But you're going too slow, so the captain orders engineering to cut the shields before you run out of power. You arrive, but the enemy vessel is shielded. The captain orders Science to scan the vessel, and reports their weakness is shield frequency D. The captain hears this and relays it to weapons, and... you're about to die because the captain forgot to remind engineering to raise shields. So you flee, leaving a path of missiles flying behind you while Comms tries desperately to find a DS that can replenish your nukes. You find one, but you have to n navigate a minefield and asteroid belt to get there while enemy homing missiles track you down. Rinse, repeat.

And that's the game. People chaotically passing along information that's often jumbled or incorrect, trying to make a starship function in an uncaring universe. It's half Next Generation, half co-op Mario Party. And it's a thing of beauty.

Starts kind of slow, but get weird really quick. A pretty sweet 3 hours.

Spoiler-free, humor-lite, non-ironic, vague-heavy review.

So, I played the game, as I assume most other people played the game (the first time, anyway), and it was a decent, quirky jRPG with some likable NPCs and a cool battle system. The end. And I beat the game (the first time) in the way I assume most people would beat it (the first time). And as I proceeded towards that first ending, it left me a bit underwhelmed. What had I missed that that made everyone swoon over this game? The stern advice of my friends filled me with determination to re-play the game... differently.

I replayed the game a second time, to get a different ending. And oh wow. The mind-blowing twists in plot, the depth added to those likable NPCs, the --actual-- nature of the plot. Just damn.

20/10. Not only must you play it, you must play it twice. Thrice, really.

Somewhere deep inside, I think there's a really good game to be found here. But it's buried under miles of poorly explained concepts and terms, and hidden behind a sub par plot and terrible, forgettable characters. It's not bad, but we're finally getting to a point where there are better JRPG alternatives on Steam to sink 40 hours into.

4/10

I do feel bad for anyone that paid full price for this game, but, um, don't pay full price for PC games. There are no complicated puzzles to solve, no zombies to headshot, and no XP to spend when you gain the levels you don't gain. But there are 2 hours of 90's nostalgia, intense feels, and angry girl punk rock to entertain you. If that sounds like you're kind of thing, snap this up. But, no, it isn't for everyone.
