How it feels

Building and exploring a persistent shared world feels like a collaborative, open-ended sandbox where you carve your own path.

What players say

Players consistently say the game has enormous potential but is let down by a mandatory subscription fee, grind-heavy crafting that takes literal weeks, and a half-finished feel. Building ships and bases is praised, but the game is criticized as unfriendly to solo players, plagued with lag and crashes, and later updates are seen as making the game worse.
