    It's basically a screen saver with some gameplay mechanics. Boring as hell and a tedious grind to get anything done.

    Convoluted and unplayable.
    The first hour the launcher denied the code it sent me on Email.
    The second hour I played the tutorial.
    And in the thrid hour I was stuck in my first mission because the pirate NPCS didnt spawn in (a known bug since 2 years).
    Verdict:
    Complete Trash

    There is an expansion for this game called Horizons which is essentially mandatory at this point. It's not just that you don't get the "full" experience without it, but much of the game is fundamentally broken or imbalanced without it. I don't know if I can recommend the full game, either, but the "base game" by itself is so completely nonviable that it doesn't even warrant discussion ofThere is an expansion for this game called Horizons which is essentially mandatory at this point.

I don't know if I can recommend the full game, either, but the "base game" by itself is so completely nonviable that it doesn't even warrant discussion of its merits or flaws. It ought to be pulled from the marketplace and replaced with an all-in-one package bundling itself with Horizons. Until that day, the best we can do it give a negative review.

    AVOID at all costs unless you also have the Horizons expansion.

    First minute the game takes your breath away and then it entertains you for another couple of hours to end up like a meditative tool for hard working individuals. What a waste and shame for a game in such beautiful environment. [Issue#253]

    Everyone who played the original game back in the 80's, should be right at home. It's the 21st Century version of "Elite." But newer, uninitiated players may find it strangely desolate and repetitive. A grand space simulation, aimed at the series' hardcore fans.

    You can focus on the journey, not the destination – even when some "road work" signs will bother you for the time being in the reincarnated Elite. But their numbers are declining with every new update so a thirty-year-old vision becomes more and more complete.
