I have a lot of hours logged in this game. I want to say I like it... but I just can't, at least not since oddesey released.

It's a great space flight sim with some really satisfying moments: I've had a blast in PVP against players that aren't just cheesing their ships. One of my fondest gaming memories was aiding the Gnosis evacuation. There have been some cool exploration moments. **The sound team deserve every bit of credit they get...**

At the end of the day though, those exploration moments get stale when you've landed on Barren Rock 31243, and you realise it looks just like Barren Rock 89234, which looks just like Barren Rock 4537623 with a different colour pallet... Or every time the grind becomes a little easier, FDev come and nerf it in the name of "balance" or "immersion"... Or You discover a space anomaly, only to find it's the same as the last few that have interesting noises and pretty animations, but do nothing else... Or... You get the idea.

Things like changes to powerplay mechanics and new ships are nice, but the game feels like it's dying and just refusing to admit defeat. This is made all the worse when compared to other comparable games like No Man's Sky, which has learned it's lessons and gone from strength to strength in the same time, while also implementing more features than those promised for ED.

So many different aspects to play

Great game. Love it. Been playing it for years. Expect a STEEP learning curve, but a very rewarding experience all around, especially if you're looking for a good game to put your HOTAS to use on. I was extremely excited for Odyssey when it launched, but resisted the urge to buy it based on the negative reviews. Well the DLC was just gifted to me by a friend, and I must say that I am impressed. Having the ability to actually walk around and see your ship from the outside adds an entirely new dimension to the experience. I had to come out here and say this because I should have ignored the negative reviews and just bought it. If you don't like ED, you will probably not like the expansion.

brrrr

Simple, this is the best space sim of our galaxy and nothing has ever come close to that

good fun!

Such a cool game. Such a terrible developer.

Launcher's F@$@ing broken. Can't even play it

Hours and hours and hours of pure enjoyment and never ending missions and tasks
