An absolute masterpiece, with a mountain fully fleshed out and integrated gameplay loops. The universe feels cohesive and alive in a way which most other space games don't get right. The combat is deep, the customization is meaningful. The trading is very fun. The constraints on resource management are both challenging and rewarding. It's quite literally 'bannerlord in space' . Best 15 dollars I've ever spent.

A glorious call back to a different era of gaming, with just the right amount of new age qol improvements. A complete game, almost totally bug free, tight gameplay loops, loads of build diversity, no microtransactions, amazing VA work, beautiful graphics, intense gameplay and a solid story. Add to that fromsofts amazing post release support of bug and balance patches I am completely in love with this game. If you want an action game where you go from total power fantasy, to getting your butt handed to you by big bad bosses, only to come out on top after being forced to master a nuanced combat system, you will LOVE this game.
