While i do love the game - it is a game that i can not in good conscience recomend to players due to how intimidating, tedious, and - quiet literally - boring it is from the average player perspective.

The game is much like playing a spreadsheet... And this hasn't changed in the past 13 years the game has been alive, nor is there any indication will it ever be changed in future updates.


It continues to be a game of Absolute Freedom - you can test your craft at economics playing the market and making a fortune off of buying and selling, You can working class it - spending your time tediously mining rich resource deposites and throwing it on the market, Be an industrialist, buying up resources and converting it to the much desired processed goods every one uses, Be an adventurer - hunting down NPCs and gaining powerful loot from doing missions, or be a jerk-wagon - doing illegal and unethical things from cheating people out of what they've worked for to killing them indiscriminantly just because you can.

But all this freedom comes at the price of being tragically overwhelming... you are barraged with so much information that hammering down stuff that is relevent to what you want to do is both time consuming and confusing.

The problems are then only compounded with the amount of Loss players can potentially experience - with all your hard work getting a specific ship, outfitting it the right way, and filling it with precious cargo... only to have it all erased on a whim when something kills you.


In the end - there is Nothing quiet like the experience of Eve Online - it is an epic space journey which allows you to do almost anything you want. It will give you exciting moments of joy and crushing moments of sorrow, all in a world where your choices can resonate and potentially alter the entire game universe... But it is not an experience for every one, nor one that any one can simply jump into.
