"Ever wanted to feel tiny, broke, and lost in the vastness of space? Welcome to Elite Dangerous."

This game is massive. Like, "fly in one direction for six hours and still not hit a wall" massive. You start out as a broke space trucker in a ship held together with duct tape and caffeine, and before you know it, you're hauling illegal cargo through pirate-infested systems, mining space rocks for cash, or getting sucked into a black hole because you forgot to refuel.

The flight mechanics are buttery smooth, the galaxy is jaw-droppingly beautiful, and the freedom? Unreal. Want to be a bounty hunter? Do it. Space trucker? Sure. Diplomatic space bus driver? Weird, but yes. A lonely explorer who flies so far out no one remembers your name? Romantic and depressing — go for it.

There’s a steep learning curve. Like, “I-just-Google-how-to-land” steep. But once it clicks, you’ll be docking like a pro and screaming in delight every time your frame shift drive doesn’t explode.

9/10 — would get lost in deep space again with nothing but a laser, 6 credits, and bad decisions.
