Want to play Fallout 2 but don't want to play a game that was released in 1998?
Buy this game.

The game, in it's current state, is unique and fun to play. It crashes more often than I'd like, especially considering that it's no longer in Beta, but the developer seems to be very active and set on fixing everything as fast as possible. He said on the main website forums that there is already an update coming out today - only one day after release.

The mining and trading parts of the game feel like mini-games that compliment the heavily emphasized social part of the game well. Although I haven't yet experienced much combat or explored very much so that might change.

Keeping track of who is who is difficult at first but gets easier as you become accustomed to each different menu - which really doesn't take very long. The game makes it easier by allowing you to rename yourself, other people, and ships. You can also 'Pin' specific people and planets for quick access.

The exploration part of the game, especially the HUD elements, are very well done and the 2D environment looks great.

I haven't played enough to really write a thorough review so I will probably come back to this review later after investing more time into the game.

==================================
Some things to note:
It's not an RPG. At least not the type of RPG where you level up and have a bunch of skills to increase and perks and stuff like that. If that's what you're looking for you may want to pass on this game.

There are no graphics options except for fullscreen/windowed and there seems to be some type of adaptive V-SYNC on by default. You can probably turn that off with your GPU control panel.

As far as I can tell there is no way to manually save the game without exiting to the menu. There is an autosave feature which saves your game about every 10 minutes. It doesn't take long to save and exit then reload your save but a quicksave feature would be nice.

There aren't any Steam Achievements (at least not yet)
==================================

Overall, I r8 8/8 m8s. Give it a try.
