![]() ![]() A case in point was a mission that asked me to repair a vessel. I found, however, that some of the side quests were broken, not allowing you to perform the required action in order to complete the mission. ![]() It even encourages you at points to level up before proceeding with the main story so that you don’t get slaughtered. Even in campaign mode, the game is still a sandbox, allowing you to venture off and take on whatever other tasks you might decide you’d like to do in the meantime. There are side quests that still pop up and allow you to make a little extra money which you can then use to upgrade your ship and increase your skills. The story campaign does ease you into the gameplay a bit by guiding you through the early steps of learning how to interface with the game and giving you a reason to explore the space available. But, beyond that, there really isn’t a whole lot else. There are missions where have to repair something that is damaged and floating aimlessly in space. There are missions where you have to obtain some item and transport it somewhere else. There are missions where, upon arrival, you have to fight some assortment of enemies. Unfortunately, the missions that you follow along that story path are fairly repetitive as far as actual gameplay goes. The story involves investigating the cause of your father’s death, avenging him, and finishing what he had started.

Now that the final release has been made available, I gave it another go. At the time of the preview, there wasn’t much more to the game that an open sandbox. At the time, I was intrigued by the possibilities that were hinted at by the Early Access title, but I was also slightly pessimistic about how it would fit in a genre with similar titles like Star Citizen, Elite: Dangerous, and EVE: Online dominating the landscape. ![]() Earlier this year, I posted an Early Access preview of Little Green Man Games Starpoint Gemini 2. ![]()
