With all of the negative reviews pouring in from the apparently terrible 2.0 update, I wanted to weigh in here as someone who never played the game before 2.0.
I love this game, I love everything about it. The customizations, the gameplay, the stories, the scope of the game and everything you can accomplish in it, the types of victories. I love all of it. I was to gripe maybe the late game is a little bare of story but that's really it. If you like space and grand strategy, this is your game.
I never even play multiplayer in it really. I use it almost entirely for roleplay purposes, and for that it's amazing. Being your own alien race with their own backstory and future is something I never thought I'd be able to do. This has been my favourite game this year (Since I only bought it this year) and I feel like I'll be playing for a while longer!
So I do reccomend this game, if only to balance out all of the silly griping about 2.0. Just becuase what you liked is gone doesn't mean it's bad.

I've wanted a game like duskers for a long time, controlling drones with commands and moving around derelict spacecraft. I feel like I'm in an alien movie with how the computer interface is set up.
The game itself reminds me heavily of FTL, with its randomized layout and having to constantly reset your game if you happen to be a perfectionist such as I.

PROS:
-Lovely interface. Feel like I'm using an actual ship computer with the keyboard interface.
-Random mechanics make for a different and interesting experience every time.
-Drone upgrades are all well balanced and helpful.
-The ability to comandeer a new ship helps immersion in an increasingly desolate universe.
CONS:
-Many times the game is not clear on where you are supposed to be going. I'm still not sure how to get access to the quarantined vessels.
-Could maybe benefit from a bit more structure.

Honestly, the CONS are kind of nitpicks. I can find very little about this game that I did not like. It comes highly recommended from me.

While it may appear complicated and a bit slow to new players, I'm telling you, ahve patience. I highly recommend this game for it's story and overall gameplay. A shining expample of RPGs everywhere, this game is a must play for those of you that love customising your character.

Not for the faint of heart or the shortest of attention spans. Very steep learning curve. If you get it,
be sure to contact me if you fail to get out of the atmosphere.
