Clearly incredibly ambitious for the time, and the constant genre shifts did keep me interested. However there is a huge divide between what it does well (the story and investigation mechanics) and what it does poorly (travel and combat). In fact, you'll probably spend 70% of your time not even touching the keyboard, as your ship jitters from place to place with the autopilot (unless you want to control it manually, flight sim is just another game mode here lol)

For what its worth I didn't hate my time with it and I look forward to seeing how the franchise evolves from here.
