After many letdowns over recent years, I am glad to finally play a game which isn't.

The game itself is the closest thing we are ever going to get to a new SWAT game. Right out the box it's fantastic, looking forward to see what is added in the future.

My playtime should say it all.

A fantastic story with unique gameplay. Worth them money in my opinion however it would be a good idea to wait for a sale as £55 is a fair amount of money.

Although there is a steep learning curve for beginners once you learn how to successfully control your Army, Industry and Politics you going to enjoy this ALOT.

Very fun with friends, can get a lot of hours out of this. Defo worth the money.

Just buy it already.

Development is abandoned, controls are stiff and hard. The game makes simple things a pain such as trying to find the outpost which fsr is 10 light-years into the cosmos according to the markers. I warped to what seemed the only place that was feasible and I didn't even move. I really wouldn't get this i'm just glad I tested it out when it was free, had I spent money on this I would have developed brain cancer.

If you enjoy PCs and enjoy modifying them in a simple form, then this game is for you.

Would not recommend. Fun at first as you actually stand a chance but as you progress you just get rekt by people with 500+ hours. The entire game is a long grind that would take a few years to complete if you are a casual gamer. 6 months if you play it constantly and never go outside. They also show off all these new things that new players will never get unless they waste many months playing 1000s of matches. The ranking system is non existence as I have gone up against tier 3 players while slithering into tier 2 (By that I mean using the first tier 2 plane). It is partially paid to win as people can just purchase their way to higher tiers via premium vehicles while also using the in-game currency to boost research once the free XP has been acquired.

tl:dr
Massive grind that will make you go "Was it worth it" at the end and may potentially cause suicide.
The ranking system is virtually non-existent.
Is only fun for the first hour or so until you leave the noob pool.
Partially paid to win hence the Free to Play status.
