Starpoint Gemini 2 Review (mr polomar)
A long overdue thumbs-up for this game! Steam says I've got about 30-odd hours on it. Twenty-something of that was back in 2015. I enjoyed it a lot at the time, but I got distracted by one spacey-game after another and kinda forgot about it. Flash-forward a decade, and I had a space game itch that the usual suspects weren't quite scratching. On a whim I went back to Rebel Galaxy and this game - and I'm glad I did! This is a fun and chill game, and was exactly what I needed. I'm just playing the Free Roam game, as I like that freedom best. I started from scratch again and have been enjoying the gradual build from zero to now 'just-slight-more-than-zero'. Chill exploration, mining, and missions, with a side order of trade and combat. It's got its quirks, and its not perfect, but it's very enjoyable. A little hint of Freelancer, some similarities to Rebel Galaxy and maybe Astrox Imperium, but very much its own thing. A fun spaceship rpg game, and a great way to escape and chill. Now that I've re-discovered it, I suspect I'll be putting a good bit more game-time into it. So: Yes, a recommend - even now, a decade after release.
