Wow. Very few games can simulate a living, breathing universe like Starsector. The freedom of choice to be who you want is incredible. You wanna be a drug smuggler and arms dealer? Become the Bezos of the stars. Like to fight? Everyone loves hiring mercs. Want to spread the word of Ludd through space? Time to arm the religious extremists. Not to mention there's also "main quests" from all the factions.

I highly recommend this game. If you're on the fence about buying this game, SsethTzeentach drops his CD key at the end of his review. Otherwise, just buy it. It is only 15 USD after all.

Sometimes you find a game so great that you can't quite put it into words. I've played a sparse couple of games that made me feel like that, and often times I find myself unable to write much of anything about why I like the game... about why you should play it.

Starsector is one of those games. It's just so damn amazing and there's an almost endless amount of things to do that all work together to make something truly special. For the longest time Mount and Blade: Warband was the pinnacle of sandbox RPGs for me... now I've found its successor.

Stop reading. Play Starsector.

5/5

i find it funny how consistent it is that the "hidden masterpiece" kind of games always allow you to harvest and sell human organs somehow.

One of the best games I've ever played
put 1k+hrs into it and not stopping

The scope of this game is way to big to be seen by this few people. Please play it
9.6/10

The best Mount and Blade that isn't Mount and Blade. A deep forever game in constant rotation.
