I find this game to be somewhat meditative. I enjoy the process of breaking down the ships, and the build to better tools, and bigger, more complicated ships. As others (many others) have mentioned, the storyline gets old quick and is not skippable. If going for additional playthroughs, it is annoying. However, the overall game is solid and worth your time! On the longer cut scenes, I just go get a beer or something. Cheers!

I only wish it was a bit longer with more to do. Pro-union game is a thumbs up for me.

Whatever your stance on the story and its focus on unionization efforts, this game is fun. personally i enjoyed the story on the first go, its not very subtle with its messaging but its not really trying to hide it. The core gameplay is very relaxed and soothing, though, on repeat playthroughs the unskippable dialogue scenes can subtract from the experience. Honestly the only thing i dislike about this game is the community around it. Empathy isnt an extreme ideology, its not that deep, if you dislike the story but enjoy the gameplay just ignore it.

A fun game that, if you turn off air consumption and time limits, can be fun to just "zen out" to. The single player story line is fun and not over taxing but the ending makes me wishing for one thing. For a final, endless mode where you hunt down derelicts and explore them, pulling the choicest scrap before tagging them for hauling back to the yard for a small finders fee.
