Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Sounds like more fun than it is. Held back by the complexity of getting even a rudimentary ship working. If the idea of having a lot of control over tiny details in your ship is appealing you'll probably like this. When I've played there…”
“Seems like it should be a good game, but the online community is dead and it's a multiplayer game so there's no point in buying it.”
