How it feels

A vast, lonely space sandbox where you slowly rebuild human civilization through exploration and cooperation.

What players say

Players praise the ambitious sandbox and the friendly PvE community, but many are frustrated by a hidden monthly subscription, a one-man developer's slow pace of bug fixes and new content, and a dated interface. Reviews split on whether the promise outweighs the rough edges.
