I think so, yeah… But I have been waiting since around 2016.
At least a fun and interesting experience?
Definitely some fun and interesting experiences that you can’t get in other games. There’s something for everyone and there are a lot of different things to do:
Ship combat, FPS combat, vehicle combat, racing, mining, salvaging, missions, PvE, PvP, Capital ship combat, boarding other ships, hijacking ships, etc.
I definitely got my $45 worth of the price I initially paid to back the game.
Is it unique or comparable to a bunch of other games?
I would probably put it down as a cross between No Man’s Sky, Elite Dangerous, Gray Zone, and Eve Online.
Most things in this game you can do in other games… But I haven’t found any game that has as many features as this game does. And it’s kind of ruined space games for me. Elite Dangerous just feels empty compared to SC.
No Mans Sky is fun, but severely limited compared to the amount of players you can play with in Star Citizen.
They’ve reworked the controls a bit… It’s still complicated as hell, but tools like GameGlass really help to streamline things like that.
