    Excellent game, what X:Rebirth should have been. There's always something to do, the graphics are cool and so does the gameplay. If i really had to criticize, i'd say the UI is a bit clunky, but really, nothing to worry about !

    This game is a must buy for space-nerds. It's fun, there's loads to do. And with the workshop, there is potential for user added content. The dev's are great and plan to add so much more for free.

    I'm speechless. And I was speechless a year ago when I first joined this game in Early Access. Words cannot describe the pure awesomeness of the community that evolved around this game, of the developers that were working so closely with players, or the game itself that is amazing. And I'm writing this about a week before full release so I didn't even play main story yet. Pure perfection.I'm speechless.

    And what is more important, this game gave people faith in Early Access games. The process of involvement in the game development for players and the invaluable input developers are getting from the community is something spectacular. And that's what we have here. A true gem in the space genre, that is already compared to much bigger productions like X: Rebirth, Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen.
    Not to mention that many people said Starpoint Gemini 2 is first true spiritual successor of Freelancer which is a bold statement, but in fact, true.

    If you haven't bought this game already, that either means you don't like space games, or that the game didn't had visibility it deserved. So buy it, try it and join our big community on official forums.

    Buckle up and enjoy the ride, captain.

    P.S. And for the guy who gave it 0 because it doesn't work on Win XP - It was not intended to work on Win XP. System requirements part say minimum is Microsoft Windows 7, 8 and they even managed to get it working on Vista. Please read once before buying and think twice before trashing, because that review looks funny and forgettable now.    … Expand

    Out of pure luck, one day i decided to take it on a Daily deal on Steam, and that was like hitting a winning lottery ticket. The feel of a massive universe where u can be what u want, from a economy based mega mogul Trader, to a ransacking Pirate in a search for a better loot. Starpoint Gemini 2 gives u the real feel of space adventure that was last seen in old classic games like Freespace.

    Buy your ship, upgrade its capabilities, choose from a variety of sizes: from small and fast gunner for fast kill, big slow freightleiner for hauling your precious cargo to a nearby station, or just maneuver a mega military carrier in a massive battles. Its up to you, to take your pick from more then 70 of ships that will blow your mind and make u wanna play more to get "that one there" you have seen in on of your many random generated missions.

    Open space universe is a delight to see and feel. No loading screens, big transport network hub ranging from ships T-Drive capabilities to riftways and wormholes, a cluster of asteroid fields and and beautiful crafted nebulas. It all gives you a immersiveness of a real breathing galaxy, in which your adventures will make a big impact on a world.

    All i can say its a great game, especially when i know its made by a really small dev team of real enthusiasts and space game fans.

    Enjoy it, because: The outcome of the universe is in your hands...    … Expand

    In case you have not noticed yes I am a hard-core space gamer;)
    Even in alpha state this game is well worth the price and in better shape than most release quality games!. You start the game in a predefined ship that you can sell to get a different ship(be it a bigger one)there is a garage that you can park all the ships you have this is a great feature. There is plenty to do, such as mining which is done via blowing the asteroids apart and getting the ore that drops. This feature is still being worked on and will get even better.

    Trading is also good, with all the many stations and planets you can spend many hours in search of a better price for goods. There is also freelance missions, currently there is passenger, trade, assassination, patrol and rescue they are quite good but this is a feature that is still being tweaked so expect them to get even better:)

    The graphics are really well done and run good on most systems. Gemini is a huge place with lots of areas that you will want to visit and explore, in a way it reminds me of freelancer in regards to exploring and how trading works.

    The sound is also quite nice that draws you into that mood of open space. The voice overs and the crew sounds are excellent and they are still adding more in. The sound effects such as explosions and weapons fit in just right.

    The game runs good with very little CTD's and that is damn good for a game that is still in alpha state!
    All in all I give this game an A+ so if you are on the fence about buying it, stop and get it now. By doing so you are doing a great deed in helping fund a really great game that I think will have its name in the "Space Game Hall of Fame"... Also be sure to check out the community forums http://steamcommunity.com/app/236150/discussions/ And the main website http://www.starpointgemini.com/
    Best of luck to all the pilots and god speed.
    **UPDATE**
    The newest patch has introduced allot of new content and fixes... The performance has been greatly
    improved also so if you not got this legendary space game yet... Well, what are you waiting for ;)    … Expand

    The Gemini system is alive with ships going about their business, traders and patrol ships cruising around, pirates taking chances on unsuspecting victims and you are all part of this big picture.

    The game is beautiful. Many times I find myself just floating above a planet and watching the scene, listening to the game's music and just generally relaxing watching the stars or the satellites rising and going by then descending behind the horizon as they follow their orbit.
    Then I fire up my overdrive and race towards the twin suns, flying under and through the arcing sun flares...

    There is the combat then. Like many other players, I had my fair share of playing other space sims, but this game caught me by surprise: here you are the captain of a multi-thousand ton space faring war vessel, and you need to take a different approach to combat - instead of dog fighting you need to steer the ship as well as aiming and firing often in totally opposite directions. You have tactical elements, like 4 tier shields, limited firing arcs and battery reserve: you are advised to rotate your ship around according to your shield-tier damage, battery reserve and weapon firing arc. If your left side shield is low, you rotate to present undamaged side to fire and let the damaged one to recover. If your bow turrets are empty, you offer your devastating broadside salvo to the enemy while your bow batteries recharge. This mechanic take a bit of time to muster, but as soon as you are familiar with it, it becomes second nature and immensely good fun.

    There are 75 (!) ships in the game, ranging from gunships to carriers and dreadnoughs, freighters and freightliners. All of them are possible to captain, purchase or steal. They are beautiful designs, you soon pick up favorites, each of them have their own characteristics, strength and weaknesses in amazing detail.

    Over 300 stations and planets to visit, explore and dock, land on, every one of them are different artwork. Should I say more?

    It was worth my money alone to have conversations with the exceptionally professional and customer oriented developer team, taking part in constructive debates along a great community, and seeing the game evolve. This game and the developer team behind it have great future, I recommend it to every space fan (and not to just gamers - I have recently took some unbelievably beautiful starscape as a screen background, the game is an HD movie experience)    … Expand

    I myself have been playing since Alpha (September 2013 release) and I have seen SPG2 come along in strides. Below is a basic list of what is ingame and can be done whilst playing. SPG2 brings back many memories of quite a few spaces games I have played since the mid 80's onwards.

    EDIT: V0.8000 - Most systems in place (being polished to perfection as LGM does!).

    Star Point Gemini 2 - So much to do ingame already, as of latest patch V0.8005 Beta:

    Collision system now in place with damage (No more flying through stations, asteroids etc or you will pay the price hehe)

    Fighter wings for ships with hanger bays are a blast to play with.

    70 ships to buy/capture/destroy

    Equipment/Weapons that can be modified with enhancements

    Customizable ship - Can re-color certain parts of your ship, add decals etc.

    Consumables - Shield boosters, damage boosters, repair nanobots, etc

    Power ups - Boost your Railgun damage, or Beam weapons etc for a few seconds to turn the tide in battle (Use them wisely though as they have a cool down for re-use)

    Ship cloaking (Ships that have cloak devices) - A lot of fun with this one :)

    Hero Characters to hunt down and kill for excellent credit reward. (You can kill a few of us Forum members now as Hero Characters! - Thanks to LGM's competition)

    Global events - More fun things to do outside of freelance missions etc.

    Junk yards - Cruise the junk yard like a junk yard dog looking for some possible cargo and or poor unsuspecting ships that might contain some nice cargo to liberate from them.

    Trade your wares in stations and planets that you either bought elsewhere or collected from combat or mining. (Price balancing to still be finalized)

    Board and capture ships - Hire troopers and grapple a ship, send in the troops and take over that ship for some extra credits or to take as your own new ship.

    Worm Holes appear around the galaxy and can whip you to somewhere else in no time (Be warned you might turn up somewhere "You dont want to be")

    AI Security forces scan you ship for contraband and give you an option to dump it or duke it out (Pirates life for me, damn the pollice hehe)

    T-drives work as personal T-Gates to quickly jump to other areas very quickly (Same as using T-Gate, but on the spot usage, instead of finding a T-Gate)

    Ability to hanger (Personal hanger accessed via stations and planets) upto 5 ships, which you can swap out when needed. Have a freighter parked in your hanger when you want to do those big commodity runs for the big bucks, or some large scale asteroid mining. Drag out your carrier to go out and take on fleets of enemies with your weapons and your fighter wings.

    Travel the Galaxy map by normal engine power (I have done this and it takes quite some time - grab a coffee and some food), Power to engines (faster travel speed) or by Fast travel ways (Real fast movement across the galaxy)

    Freelance missions, Combat, repair, scan, VIP Courier, Cargo courier the list goes on.

    Steam Workshop - Mods are coming along and many more to come as modders get busy!

    Did I mention how bloody good the galaxy looks, Nebula's are amazing, Asteroid fields are real special (I like to play a pirate, so I like to hide in the dust clouds of some asteroid fields and wait for passing freighters/mining ships for some easy kills and loots. Junk yards look great, and just a reminder again don't run into them they not hurt hehe :)

    Oh and Mod Tools, Want to add a new ship into game, can do!! Want to add new sectors into game, Can do!! Want to add anything virtually into game, can do!!! Probably the best thing of all about SPG2 is the Dev Team, These people are one of the best I have had the pleasure of enjoying an alpha/beta release with. They are always responding to members posts, questions, technical help, and ideas. The Dev Team have even taken ideas from members and have put into game those ideas, what more can you ask for in a Dev Team who cares just as much for the player base as their game, that is simply priceless and a quality lacking in many AAA title Dev Teams. All I can say is, "If you enjoy space gaming, Buy SPG2 today. You wont be disappointed" And drop by the official forums and say hello as well :) http://www.starpointgemini.com/forum    … Expand

    I bought it back in April and found that as a space combat sim it ticket a lot of the boxes other games in recent times were missing. The full 3D flight and streaming of the entire Gemini system are pretty nice and I spent hundreds of hours playing in the beta in free roam mode doing side missions or pirating.

    The Dev team at LGM is second to none there have been so many updates/ fixes and content releases since April they listen to the fan base and have included a lot of fan suggestions to the release game. They are very active on forums and very friendly always willing to listen to new ideas and willing to make changes to the game for the better.

    The game may be released now but that doesn't mean LGM are done developing the title they are now working on post release updates and content and at least one expansion(free of charge) is in the works that I know about. The games story line and free roam are now enabled but I would expect a lot more to come from LGM in the coming months.

    The game has been one of the best buys I've found in terms of space sim it has both the feel of some classic games and the visuals of a modern space sim.

    Game play is both easy to learn but brutal at times you can do many of the things you would find in other space sims, like trading and mining to capturing ships and selling them.

    On the whole the game offers a lot of content and many ways to play, it lets the player choose how they want to play without holding them back from progressing or holding their hand.    … Expand

    True sandbox, open world, choose-your-own-fate gameplay. I can't believe it's taken this long for a game of this type to come along, and it's really high caliber. So much fun that I had to find somewhere to give a favorable review, and I am rarely impressed enough to do so by a game.

    The development team is second to none. They are very responsive to problems that arise and work hand and hand with players to give you an optimal experience.
    I highly recommend this game to any spacer. It allows you a lot of choices for personal customization of not only the ships, but the type of game you want to play. Choose your story line or go rogue; "be good, bad, or you"; and anything in between.

    Phenomenal game!    … Expand

    This game is fun!!!
    Really I am actually surprised at how much I enjoy spending time with it.

    Easy to get into, simple but not too simple. Hard but not too hard.
    Good time waster game : )

    X-Rebirth's release put me off of all of gaming until I discovered this game. Super-fun. Lighter than X-3, but in a good way. Like X-3 mated with SPaZ.

    Awesome game, highly recommended! Don't trust low Metacritic score, trust users here and on Steam where the reviews are really positive. And if you have a question, devs are answering them on Steam forums 24/7. Something that is rarely seen. Thumbs up!

    One of the best space tactical sims I've seen in a long time. Excellent community and really helpful devs. Metacritic score is too low because of one bad review. Shame on you, LEVEL.
    PC Gamer's score of 80 and User score speak for themselves.

    Highly recommended game.

    X: Rebirth was dissapointment. Unforutunately.
    Elite: Dangerous is empty. Unfortunately.
    EvE Online community turned to one of the worst communities out there. Unfortunately. Star Citizen won't be released for a year at least. Unfortunately. Starpoint Gemini 2 is extremely fun game with a perfect ratio between space sim, tactical combat and RPG. Small team that made my day.    X: Rebirth was dissapointment. Unforutunately.

    Beautiful, fun, tense, addictive and with huge replayability value. I can't find words to describe this game, saw it first in Beta and been playing on my friends account for days. I recommend this to all EvE Online, Star Conflict, Freelancer and Star Trek Online fans.

    SG2 has everything that makes space sims great, but despite its complexity is accessible enough to make it a wonderful first step into the genre. [13/2014, p.64]

    It is a vast universe with endless possibilities - nothing more, nothing less. If you prefer solo play and you have a vivid imagination give the game a chance. Otherwise leave it be. [Issue#247]

    An enjoyable single player space romp with a steep learning curve. Ignore the campaign and persevere with the sandbox for a rewarding experience.
