    I picked this one up on PC and I was happy to see how developers actively talk to their players, they still do. Since I own Xbox One, I picked it there too, to show support to the team. Now, as I started playing it, I am amazed how much work they have put into this port.

Since I own Xbox One, I picked it there too, to show support to the team. Now, as I started playing it, I am amazed how much work they have put into this port. Completely new and more intuitive interface, perfectly tailored to suit the Xbox One controller, I just can't stop playing this game again. From the start.

    For those who don't know what the game is about, please, just google it, it's been out on the market for more than a year and there are many gameplay and review videos that will give you all the info you need to decide whether you want this or not. For me, it's a bargain and my way to show support for a small indie team (10 people I think) who made this fantastic and complex open space game.    … Expand

    This game is amazing with its in-depth economy, many factions, heroes to kill, ships to capture, missions to do, weapons to get, it's just complex and some people might find it hard to get into. But for all players that love space games, this could prove to be a real gem. It was for me, at least.

    The game is very enjoyable but random glitch's were you ship just blows up or the stutter entering a new area can be off putting their are also 2 or 3 achievements that do not work how ever over all i would give the game a 8/10

    Highly recommended game for everyone that loved Freelancer, Starfleet Command, X games. New interface looks fantastic, everything that is not needed fades out which is a nice touch.

    Only problem some people will have is the lack of localizations. Unlike PC version, this is english only. Not sure if they will introduce more langugages in the future. On PC version there are 4 or 5    Highly recommended game for everyone that loved Freelancer, Starfleet Command, X games.

    Word of advice: If you can, install your game on external storage because XBO HDD is so slow that it hurts.    … Expand

    Starpoint Gemini is not a bad game. It’s not even really an average game, so long as you’re part of the small group that will get the most of it. But it is difficult to enjoy, difficult to learn; in short, it’s a niche title and there are glitches and boredom aplenty. This isn’t a great title by any metric except maybe the most important one: those that love it will be utterly engrossed.

    A significant frame drop issue, flat storyline, and obsolete menus cause vexation, but only because they devalue what is an otherwise splendid adventure.

    If you can look past the issues that we've raised in the review, can get past the somewhat steep £28 asking price and like space exploration, Starpoint Gemini 2 might be right up your space lane. It probably isn't going to drag many non-fans in, though.
