    Men..this game is so addictive. The whole exploring stuff is stunning. Are u into sci fi, then this game is a must buy.

    Reminder that this game has a steep learning curve.

It's more complex than the original, and many casual players will get lost in the flimsy efforts to help you get comfortable.

    But overcome this, and you'll taste why so many people find this game to be, well, Elite.

Absolute freedom, huge galaxy, big variety of missions, realistic challenge and not just a pewpew space shooter, pvp and pve multiplayer. This game has it all. So far i haven't encounter any bugs (the game is already out on pc and xbox a long time now so it would be weird if it had bugs) and it runs smoothly on ps4 and ps4 pro alike. Only negative thing is the online only solo game cause i would like to be able to play solo at least offline. This is the space game I've been waiting for all my life. No Man's Sky was great but it was a survival game is space not a simulation. I'll be playing this for years to come. Hopefully they won't ever put down the servers or at least make the solo offline sometime in the future. Space sim lovers have to play this and everybody else who don't afraid of a challenge you should try it. Top notch! Expand

The Horizons DLC adds another layer to the game with planet exploration and passenger missions.

    That being said, it's not for everyone. It's lacking a bit on the planet exploration (can only land on planets with no atmosphere) and it's a simulation to a fault. Long travel times, boring systems (systems with just stars appears too often imo), and the lack of interaction with NPCs will turn off some people.

    There is quite a bit of fun to be had here. It's just not for everyone.

    A hardcore space simulation with a relatively steep learning curve.

    There is a lot of Elite that is very well crafted, but several puzzling design decisions hamper what could be an outstanding title. The core flight and combat gameplay is tight and engaging. You're free to pursue whatever profession you desire, trading, combat, smuggling, piracy. Where the game really stumbles is through the reputation system by which you unlock missions. It essentially forces you to grind reputation through repetitive tasks.

    This could almost be completely ignored, if Elite's biggest flaw didn't exist. Player interaction is extremely minimal. Exciting and compelling encounters with real people is what this game desperately needs.

    If you're a big fan of space sims, it's a no brainer. Sci Fi fans in general should check it out. But it's certainly a niche title with a couple really frustrating shortcomings. The potential for greatness is there, but unfortunately seems just out of grasp.

Definitely not a strap in and shoot game, but a simulation.

    Everything is great except for the oh-so-often server disconnects. Even playing solo (not really offline) you get disconnected in the middle of something important. That is half the time. The other half, it freezes for well over 10 seconds while you wait for it to catch up, even with nothing going on.

    Maybe the issues will die down once the big sale is over, but maybe it will get worse with this big event they have in the next week. We will see.

Started a solo game (single player campaign). Now game crashes every 10 seconds after loading my game. Since it is impossible to start a brand new solo game I am trapped. And cant play the game at all. Huge dissapointment. Another disapointment is the fact you need to be online every time you start the game. Even for a single player solo game. If the internet connection is bad you cant start the game at all. Not that it makes much diffeence for me. Because if I can start the game it still crashes after 10 seconds beacuse of the bugs in my solo game campaign. So Frontier had a year to come up with a PS4 version and than delivers a game that crashes continuously and endlessly. Biggest dissapointment in my gaming life. Total failure from this gaming company. Expand
