- Best in class sound design
- Very optional PvP (especially solo)
- Engaging gameplay loop that does not require luck to make it out with decent loot
- Highly geared players are not guaranteed to win against a free loadout, which creates compelling combat from early game all the way to end game

If you enjoy Factorio but want to chill and not melt your brain every time you play, try this.

Its a Bethesda game but in space. Literally the best parts (for me) from TES and Fallout put into one game but in space. Absolutely insane amount of content. I have 45 hours as of writing this and I don't even feel like I'm halfway through all the game has to offer.

You want in depth ship building? You got it. Build almost anything you can imagine. You can spend hours just building and optimizing a ship design. I know I did. Only gripe I have is the fact that cargo gets transferred when switching ships. I would have preferred having been able to build a big freighter style ship that just hangs around in orbit that can serve as my main base like in No Man's Sky.

In depth outpost building? You got it. If you enjoyed the settlement building in Fallout 4 you are gonna love this. You can create cargo links in system and out of system to create your very own shipping company essentially. You can then sell the materials you've crafted from your automated manufacturing for credits. Fair warning that it takes quite a bit of skill investment to get a proper outpost setup, so maybe save this for later in the game.

Quests with interesting and gripping stories? You got it. The faction quests I've completed so far are long but not dragging. I kinda wish there was a bit more but the pacing is good enough. Your actions are also actually recognized by the general populace and companions actually acknowledge what you've done and talk to you about it.

Stealth sniper build? You got it. The perks and their benefits are actually substantial unlike in other games where the best variation of the perk is a 10% increase in whatever. In Starfield that's the base bonus you get. So you can end up with a really broken character stat wise but it doesn't feel too easy to get since it requires a 4 skill point investment. It actually makes you work for the highest stat which makes it feel genuinely earned. Even if find an xp exploit, you still have to do the challenges per perk level so you can't mindlessly send it to max level.

Cargo hauling and smuggling? You kinda got it. I wish travelling from planet to planet in system could be manually piloted like super cruising in Elite. I don't much mind that grav jumps are loading screens, but I wish I could just look out into space while travelling in-system. Currently hauling cargo is just load screens unless you have a strong enough grav drive and large fuel capacity.

Overall its a Bethesda RPG through and trough, If you enjoy that kind of RPG, whether you like space or not, you're gonna enjoy this. If you wish No Man's Sky had more robust combat and "life" in terms of actual people populating the systems and not just living in space stations and didn't really care for the space travel, you're gonna enjoy this. If Elite Dangerous was daunting to play because of heavy focus into simulation, you'll probably enjoy this.

This game is an RPG first before being a space sim; It actually really isn't even a space sim type game at all if you compare it to the rest of the games out there. So if you were hoping for a game with heavy RPG aspects plus deep space sim systems you won't find that here.

Absolutely bonkers amount of content for single player and multiplayer. It's also go the best training mode in any fighting game bar none. It's like they took everything that other fighting games had from training mode and put them all in one place.

The amount of tutorials for fundamentals are also insane (on par or probably better than the Skullgirls tutorials). Absolute brand new players to the genre will be able to come in and play with the right habits and mindset from the quality of the tutorials.

Get this if you want a JRPG where party members actually interact and show concern to each other as you explore the world and progress through the story.

Great sense of scale and solid comedy. Challenging enough to remain interesting. Smooth progression so far, never felt lost or stuck.

11/10 bedtime story

Super soild fighting game. Has a steep difficulty curve but once you get past the initla hump it becomes a very rewarding experience. The netcode is also really great as well.

Highly recommend this game if you like Dark Souls, JRPGs and Shadow of the Colossus. The magic spells in the game look amazing and are actually huge. If you want a long game with quite a bit of content, this gam should scratch that itch.

Highly recommend this game. It's quite similar to civ v but in a fantasy setting. The classes you can choose all play quite differently as well. So it also has very high replayability.
