Guess there are a whole lot of masochists and/or trolls with nothing better to do out there given the thousand positive reviews.

I found it too tediously difficult to get any enjoyment out of.

Bonus point for working just as well on Linux as on Windows.

Besides the ridiculous asking price for what is apparently barely a DLC-length game that cuts you off in the middle of the story to try to make you spend even more on future DLC, performance is utter trash. An i7 5930k, 64 GB of RAM, all SSDs, and Radeon Fury X do not a low-end system make, yet loading times are horrid and FPS is all over the place.

The constant "tutorial" pop ups are extremely annoying, too. I said "Give Me Deus Ex". That implies I know what I'm doing. Stop interrupting my game every two minutes to tell me how to do something I've already been doing.

Refund requested.

I got this on sale for $20, and I don't think it was worth even that much with how much it pissed me off in just 45 minutes of playing.

When the "release" version crashes before it even launches with ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, you know a dev team is incompetent.

Less than a quarter of the price of a movie ticket and far more entertaining than most these days.

This is way more "one more turn" (though it doesn't really have turns, so rather "one more month") than Civ ever was.
AIs seem fine except for "sectors". That one is utterly ineffective and detrimental to your empire. Mods to increase core system max solve that (Expanded Core Worlds is a good one). I like that the game will sometimes decide to obliterate your empire. ♥♥♥♥ happens; deal with it. There's always a bigger gorilla you just haven't met yet; you can't always win :)

A great demo of VR capabilities that I never would have thought of without playing this, but has very little entertainment value.

Vector 36 because it takes 36 minutes to realize you should return it for a refund. The vehicle you get to start with is slow. It handles like some bricks tied onto a kite. You get $3000 or so for finishing the tutorials. You need many tens of thousands to make a better vehicle, and you have to sit there and hold down keys to "accelerate" (for a really really really bad definition of accelerate) and steer your bricky kite through hours and hours of slowness just to get enough to buy parts or a pre-made vehicle. If you want to do anything at all to your vehicle in the garage, you have to deal with one of the most horrible UIs ever made. The "game" should never have been published in this state. To all devs everywhere: Early Access does not mean pre-Alpha. You should have something in a playable and fun state before you start asking for money.

Ever since Valve made this F2P, the moronic-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥-to-decent-human ratio has gone stupidly high.

Now that the game has been retitled "2" from "GO", gave it another try. Still just as full of trolls as ever.
