The map is very big, but it's also boring and stale. Everyone on my ship seems to know and have worked for every other ship I encounter, random encounters repeat a lot and the game just doesn't do anything interesting with its setting. The ships and how you control them are great, but it's in service of a bland gameplay loop.

No, I will not make and link a PSN account to play a video game that was working fine for three months without it.

The gameplay is slow, the weapons aren't satisfying to use, and half the weapon roster are gimmicks that require you to play a very specific way to use them effectively. Items/airstrikes/vehicles requiring you to use your main currency instead of generating a special one per kill like previous EDF games makes them worthless to use since armor upgrades start getting expensive. Vehicle handling is still a joke. Everything stuns and knocks you down, corpses stop you dead in your tracks, core energy management isn't engaging. The list goes on.

Everyone saying Iron Rain is a "bad EDF game" is coping: EDF: Iron Rain is a bad game in general.

Myst and Riven are still the peaks of what could be considered walking sims even before walking sims were a mainstream concept: modern ones have failed to capture their sense of exploration and wonder.
