a masterclass in good game design, everything from the sound to UI to gameplay feels crisp and polished. I only wish the campaign was longer.

This game is tight as hell in every way, and was also made by some of the greats of the Prime Bungie Era who then proceeded to disappear into the sunset.

Totally worth it if your into dog fighting. Plus as a full time working Parent, it doesn't demand and excessive amount of time to have a good time. The combat is top teir. The graphics aren't going to turn any eyes. But I'm a fan of how the game looks. The cell shading still feels immersive and the environments look great. I've been playing it in VR. If you have a head set I think for the price and quality of the combat this game is well worth it.

Amazingly sexy, and a great example of how to do a "bad guy" protagonist in a game without making excuses for them or reaching for a moral grey area when there really isn't one. There are definitely aspects that I think could be better, especially with regard to the length (short) and challenge (very very high). It clearly demands practice, but it can feel limited in how it rewards practice. Nevertheless, it's a brilliant little game, and several of its design decisions still bounce around in my head when I work on things even years after playing through it for the first time.

Oh why did I find this wonderful game so late? Feels like Homeworld, the Flight Sim. Great audio design, great missions, short session lenght. I only wish there wore more of this! Good replayability tho.
