≠ Stands apart with action RPG combat, adventure storytelling and shooter, while skipping puzzle design

At its best in the hand-built cities and the faction questlines, where the writing and the systems both hold. Ship building is deeper than it first appears. The exploration loop is the weak point — procedurally generated planets repeat their points of interest quickly, and the constant loading screens between surface, ship and space break any sense of continuity.
