Quite fun, I recommend not looking anything up ahead of time and just figuring it out as you go.

Campaign is way too hard. AI just gets huge numbers of units for free. I can't speak to how fun any missions are past the first one because after 6 tries I can't beat it.

I've never played any of the earlier iterations of this game, or anything like that. I saw it after a streamer played a bit and it looked neat. Sadly its not really fun. You sail around and your ship shoots at other ships, some of them players and some of them little AI ships, you're trying to destroy their base. There's a ton of different ships and weapons and things you can get but its a bit of an information overload, get ready to do a lot of reading of abilities and things. I tried a few different ships and the abilities were neat, but it always seemed like the enemies were faster or stronger than me. It's tough to get kills and easy to die.

This game is really not accessible to anyone other than the die hards who are coming in from the earlier versions. There's also no real way to communicate with your team, and cooperation seems nonexistent (Unless of course you are playing with your friends I guess). I tried a healer ship in one game but my teammates just ran away from me and leaving me stranded to get killed by the enemy who had grouped up lol.

The game has a *very* small player population that seems to consist mostly of people who are REALLY good at the game.

In conclusion, stay away if you didn't play the predecessor games.

There was a little too much randomness for me, and I could kind of see where the synergies come into play but it felt pretty simplistic and your ability to actually see your build in action totally depended on what order you get tiles each round. Then again I didn't really like Balatro or Slay the Spire either, so take this review with a grain of salt.

Played a bit in early access to make sure it was what I was hoping it would be. It was and now I am waiting till they finish it. Can't wait. I'll update my review when it's done. If this game is half as good as the first one it will be awesome.

This is a game that is still unfinished and hasn't received a content update in over a year and a half, with no word of one on the horizon. Play it when it's done in a decade maybe.

It's pretty much the best accessible modern combat flight sim in VR. You don't need anything other than your headset/controllers. The single player missions are decently fun and there's an active multiplayer community that seems to be a 50/50 mix of tryhards using military lingo who are insanely good, and literal children. But it isn't a toxic community so learning isn't too hard. The DLCs aren't really worth it in my opinion, the base game has the best and most popular 2 aircraft. If you want to do some military combat aircraft simulation without needing extra equipment or to spend more than a couple hours learning, this is the game for you. It is tough though, and like real modern air combat, its mostly just shooting missiles guided by various kinds of radar and computers. If you jump into multiplayer expect to be shot down a lot.

I paid $80 CDN for one third of a campaign and worse multiplayer than Reach.

Honestly found it very boring, you just do the same thing over and over.

Sony pulled a bait and switch to steal your data.

UPDATE: They backed down, democracy won.
