The first game was an acceptable novelty. This is pure trash. Narrow, shallow and repetitive with terrible controls and flight model. Just as I was afraid, it's designed around the dumb autopilot gimmick.
While autoaiming is not enforced there's no point in using free flight. With autoaim fights are over quickly and you really don't want to extend your suffering by staying any longer in combat which is braindead and cheap, simply half-assed.
What to do once you're out of combat? Beats me. The economy, hauling, exploration, progression and story are so limited and crude they're not worth mentioning.
The thing is just bad. Ugly graphics too.
The hardest fight in the whole game is the struggle against the ship painter function. It's like a cumbersome bootleg Photoshop. Using it for anything other than drawing simple dicks and writing expletives on the hull of your ship is a waste of time.
Playing Outlaw for the soundtrack makes no sense. Instead find any generic southern rock playlist and go do something that actually makes you happy or whatever.
Guy sharted out a garbage game and all he can do in his defense is shitposting and smirking.
If you really want to play it for some reason get it the
outlaw way, know what I'm saying? Don't give any money to these hacks.
