“I can't stop playing this game. It's so good! The dev really listens to the community and it gets updated all the time. I do however feel like it needs to be played from the lens of the fact that it was developed by one…”
“Cons: There are still a lot of bugs and glitches. The devs seem to be crushing them as fast as they can, but you will run into some. Now onto the PROS: I haven't played a game like this in a loooooong time. It doesn't…”
“I bought this game a few years ago, played it a bit and then forgot about it. Was reading recently that it reached full launch status so I decided to try out again. What a huge improvement! So many things that were…”

“"Long" game with lots of different parts. Has first person ground and space fights as well as RTS at later part of the game.”

“Surprisingly fun game, glad I bought it (especially on 35% sale). All this was made by one person!? I've played Star citizen, x4 foundations, no mans sky, and many of the other space titles out there. What few other…”

“Very good first impressions - just do not expect very high production values as in a multi million dollar game - impressive that a single (or is it two?) developer made it. Easy to jump into, game provides rather clear…”
“Getting much more enjoyment out of this than Starfield. Overall it's just fun and scratches a particular itch Bethesda's stab at the spehspioneershootingsmarines genre never did for me with the pacing and amount of…”

“Issue after issue, full of bugs.... This one was a big, BIG, disappointment. I have few hours in X4, Starfield, Elite, Everspace2, even Freelancer... SpaceBourne 2, comparing to previous titles looks more like a stack…”
“Better than starfield. Honestly if u Like games like mount and blade you will love this. I wish the world felt more alive but being one dev he focused on making the gameplay fun over Story and objectives. Love the video…”
“This game has all the elements I could ever want from a space game wether by ship or on foot; Trading, mining, exploration, squadrons, docking, planets, upgrades, missions, conquests EVERYTHING. All that with the…”

“I have been around a game or two. From plugging in my first Atari and jamming on Asteroids for hours, to watching massive franchises grow from diamonds in the rough, I like to think I’ve seen a lot. I love big titles…”
“I had high hopes for this game- the ambition was clear, and they seemed to be on their way to making something special. I think at a certain point they got a bit carried away- features creeped, and creeped, and we ended…”
“Not sure what this game is trying to accomplish. It has several game play options but forces you to play certain ways. So why have shooter and space combat and trading and mining..but no crafting and then force you to…”

“Really enjoying it so far. Clunky as all hell but so addictive. Considering this was made by one person, its so impressive. Bethesda, take note! THIS is what Starfield should have aimed for!!!”
“It's got a lot of big ideas, and it's enjoyable-ish, but it really is just so incredibly janky and buggy. The AI voice acting is absolutely horrific.”

“Ai slop for the voices. I can understand not being able to hire voice actors for an indie project but just leave them without voices and let us read the dialogue without this godforsaken noise in my ear.”
“bought this game years ago and was intrigued to find out that they were still updating this game but it seems they use voice ai now for some of their dialogue”
“So umm............... i played for 12 hours straight great game dog water textures and terrains aside from the player character. all the voice lines including text were done by the most smooth brain AI on the planet but…”

“After 300+ hours in [b]SpaceBourne 2[/b], and with well over half of the achievements completed, I feel like I’ve experienced just about every system this game has to offer — and that’s saying something, because there is *a lot* here. This is not a polished AAA production. There…”
— a player, Steam review · 313 hrs played“Single developer did more in this game then a AAA title. That is saying a lot. Yea, I love this game. Here is why. You can fight in space, You can fight on ground, it has the old privateer feel which I like, you have different weapons, more ships, you can take over the galaxy,…”
— a player, Steam review · 155 hrs played“I was a huge supporter of this game and been around since day 1. Now I'm just so over it. The devs prioritizes quickly adding new broken content and not fix what's already there. You still have bugs from when the game was launch. More and more bugs keeps piling up. It feels like…”
