If you are a fan of space simulators and have more than 15 years of piloting experience behind you, then you will definitely like this game. Although calling Elite a game is somehow too vulgar... This is a simulator that, despite the trends of the times, does not introduce any facilitating features for the gameplay, such as simplified controls, where you just pull the steering wheel, and you are already an ace in all the starry spaces . There is no sensible training here, where everything will be chewed up for you and laid out on a plate. You'll have to read guides, a lot of guides. If you score, you won’t even take off from the station.
It would seem that unnecessary difficulties should be a disadvantage for any game, as they repel potential players. But you know, this simulator really doesn’t care about beginners. It is mostly made for those people who, about 30 years ago, set off for the first time to conquer the vastness of the galaxy on their monochrome monitors. And for those who are ready to get along with the unfriendliness of this simulator, he has prepared a special gift - freedom.
At your disposal will be 400 billion star systems that are open for exploration. And this is not some kind of publicity stunt. Every celestial body you see can be reached. And the game even has a special way to make money - flying around unexplored systems, collecting and then selling data. And in all this space you can do whatever you want, as it should be in a good space simulator - trade, fight, explore.
I recommend for purchase.
