First off the negative review is a comprehensive breakdown in comparison for various reasons. The game itself is not a bad game. Nor should you read this review and see it as negative. I am not recommending the game because the game while playable, is a janky mess which if you can get past that, is enjoyable (I couldn't hence the review).

Ranking of Games like this with Combined arms:

1. Star Citizen
2. Elite Dangerous
3. Spacebourne 2

I have played all 3 just FYI.

~ Star citizen has tons of issues yes, but as far as whats there (Play-ability wise) it is far superior and a far more enjoyable experience.

~ Elite Dangerous has it's own issues, and Spacebourne does good things Elite does not and vise versa.
* Elites Space combat is far Superior.
* Spacebournes Ground Combat is slightly better.
* Spacebourne has a far better Immersion/Interactive/grand architecture of ♥♥♥♥ you can do. Then elite Dangerous.
* Elite Dangerous, does what it does, Better then Spacebourne. (Less janky control wise and just in general function wise)

Graphics in Spacebourne are subpar to a 2023 game by a lot. The game is brand new and it's looks are dated even retro in 2023.

Scores:

~Graphics: 5
~Sounds: 5
~Ground Combat and control: 7
~Space combat and Control: 6
~Dialog both written and spoken: 4 (Lots of miss translations, and some of it makes no sense, Voices do not match characters many times)

~Overarching Design and Potential: 9/10

Conclusion:

The game is made by 1 guy apparently, and for what is here it is 100% worth the price. I am not saying do not buy it and support the dev, I am saying for what this game is, there are simply better options out there.. "Currently".

However that being said, The game does in fact have a ton of potential. And could just like No Mans Sky, become something fantastic to give the other games a serious run for their money. But at this Point, It's a Janky ... But.... Fairly Enjoyable mess if you can deal with the Jankyness. (I couldn't).
