I'd be rating this a five if they continued it on consoles, or if Odyssey was better (from all I gather).

Elite: Dangerous is the pinnacle of space simulators. Few other games do scale well, but here you'll get a nearly perfect construction of the galaxy.

While tasks ultimately boil down to getting engineering materials or money, you'll never run out of goals to reach--whether you set them yourself or whether it's the natural progression of shipbuilding. That's just about the best thing I can say about a live service game.

I sincerely hope they put this back on consoles.
