What players say
Players praise Hardwar for its unique atmosphere and freedom as a sandbox trade-and-combat sim on Titan, comparing it to a mix of Mount & Blade and Descent or a predecessor to X4. They note the plot is short, the visuals have aged, and there is no tutorial. A few report technical issues with modern systems.
