This is like if Warhammer 40k had a sense of humor. And the game mechanics are fun too!

An absolutely beautiful remake of one of my favorite games of all time.

Let's get this out of the way immediately: Odyssey was absolute, total, unquestionable garbage at release, mostly because the devs were apparently testing on 4090Tis years before they were even announced.

But now? It's honestly really good. Frontier did a lot of work tightening things up. As an explorer, landing on an as-yet-undiscovered planet and watching the sun of a system rise over the mountains feels pretty darn close to meatspace. Walking around feels right - like you're a human, as opposed to Master Sergeant. The stuff that's happening with the Thargoids feels like an entirely new chapter unfolding, and I'm hauling ass back to the bubble from Sag A* to be a part of it.

It took far longer than it should have, but Odyssey feels to me like it should have on release, and I'm really happy that this game is staying alive.

One of the best Star Wars games I've played in years. The story progression is fantastic, and while you can grind, I can honestly say that the story will be better if you don't. By the end, I felt like I was playing a Jedi...until the last encounter that is.

I was an avid X-Wing vs TIE Fighter player, and the feeling I get playing this game is the same one I remember playing XvT. My one gripe is that I doubt we'll be able to mod this one - shout out to the Datamaster crew and the XWA Upgrade project

Fun sandbox, that lets you doink around in SPAAAAAAAAACE.

There are some problems with the Steam controller. The buttons sit a hair too low, for example. Maybe 3 hairs, whatever. Otherwise, it's freaking awesome. There is a learning curve, and the customizability is daunting, but anyone who claims to be part of the PC Master Race should understand the power that comes with getting under the hood. It's a controller for gamers and geeks, and it's about time!
