Elite Dangerous

[Egon Bigmemes]

the game lead has a VISION he refuses to stray from, and it has actively harmed the game. the expansion(s) so far have been half-baked.
visually its quite excellent, and PVE combat is enjoyable. PVP combat is a game of whoever has put the most millions into engineering their ship to have massive bonuses that you wont have without the same insane time/money investment.
depending on what sort of gameplay you enjoy, you could get 20+ to hundreds of hours of enjoyment.

mining, and in particular mining with explosives, is the most fun ive had in a long time in space sims. its an immersive experience, and i imagine it really makes your heart pound if you play online hoping a player doesnt roll up with an anaconda and a few cargo bays looking for an easy profit. but i personally dont recommend anything more than online co-op.
