What players say
Elite Dangerous offers a massive galaxy to explore, with deep ship customization and varied activities like combat, mining, and exobiology. However, players are strongly divided: many love the sense of scale and freedom, while others decry a steep learning curve, buggy operations, paywalled power-creep ships, and a new player experience that offers almost no guidance.
