Now, what have we here?
Actually, I should compare this one with a raw, unpolished diamond. It's worth a lot and pretty cool if you have it, but it could be made into so much more!
Don't get me wrong, I'm upvoting it for a reason. Even without fulfilling its whole potential it is still quite fun to play, but read on, if you expect a sci-fi arcade/shooter or anything action-oriented!

First of all, the graphics: This is the only game I have for Vive (or can run with my Vive via 3rd party drivers) that my system can't handle. That's not because my computer is that bad or the game isn't optimized, it's just that the graphics are really really good! It's actually one of those games that really make use of a 3D environment and even on low settings is nice to look at, without getting a headache!

The gameplay, the part most people might find offputting: It's very good at what it is supposed to deliver: A lonesome, quiet journey through a desolate region of space, your only friends being two giant metal drones and a quite useless flying orb computer that doesn't talk much... or at all. If you expect action like in X:Rebirth, Freelancer, Elite or anything similar to those, you are at the wrong adress. Your worst enemy here is time. It is the core element of the game and can really get your blood pumping if you are in the middle of a solar storm, without any resources, a drone that's damaged and you need to make some critical repairs with just three minutes of oxygen remaining.
I personally play it with rather easy settings in order to relax, enjoy a journey through space and I also love to tinker with the drones, replacing parts, upgrading parts and exploring the galaxy.

Movement in this game is not relevant. You teleport from zone to zone and move around only in your dedicated playspace. You need some space, as indicated on the store page, or it will be hard to do your tasks. Althought you don't go around the ship you still have to be pretty active sometimes. Some parts can only be accessed from below, which is easier while crouching. Some parts have to be accessed from above, thus forcing you to bent over. It looks really funny for people watching you play, as it looks like you are working on an invisible car.

I really hope there will be further expansions regarding content since there is so much potential, so many things that could be added! The game in its current state delivers what it promises on the store page but I think that is about 20% of what could be there. If you like the idea of the lonesome roguelike and are a fan of repairing and tinkering, this is definetly something for you, but if you expect a storyline, combat or something along these lines, this isn't what you are looking for. The devs are still active, listening and are patching the game (although I did not encounter any bugs) and hopes are high among the current players, that there will be some expansion or DLC.
I personally would set the game's price a bit lower but it is still adequate.

I would really recommend you to try it out, it is a quite remarkable experience, especially if you are not used to loneliness and the feeling of being lost and, of course, if you like sci-fi games!
