The game is incredibly fun, especially when you're playing with friends/people who use mics. It's low stakes enough that you can ♥♥♥♥ around a bit and "Accidentally" kill each other a few times but high stakes enough to make you want to win and encourage teamwork. The whole living universe thing where you're under attack by two different enemies on different fronts with planets being attacked and needing to be Liberated means that there's always something to drop in to. It never feels like you've "finished" but also you can see progress in a tangible way that makes it satisfying to finish missions. Unfortunately right now there's a pretty firm meta and a lot of the off meta picks for equipment feel kinda bad to use. Not to say you can't use them but there are clear "best" things. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the game grows and progresses. The devs have already announced a bunch of stuff incoming including Mechs which I'm hyped for. As of yesterday I reached Max level (50) and as a few days ago I got all of the Ship Modules and as of about a week ago I got all of the Strategems unlocked. It's definitely at a point where you can realistically unlock everything available with about 100hrs of play but the game doesn't stop being fun once you unlock everything.

TL:DR, I strongly recommend this game, ESPECIALLY if you either have friends who play it or are cool with going on the Discord or elsewhere to find a group who communicates.
