Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Game aged poorly. It doesn't run smoothly on Windows 10. Besides, the game doesn't offer a whole lot. You fly around in a galaxy to other planets or stars to find equipment to upgrade your craft. There is no expansion on planets, no R&D…”
