it was good but i didnt like that i was just getting debt free and could then buy all the equipment and the game ended, why not let me keep playing to try all the gadgets? so to players who have never played this dont pay off the debt buy the tools.

Just finished my first complete run of the game, really liked the controls for the ship, they feel as if you were using a terminal to control the ship. There is a good amount of tools and gadgets to choose, each with its unique approach to mining, so the game never feels repetitive even after 7 hours. Really looking forward to getting 100% of the achievements and playing future works with interesting UIs like this…

The game itself is enjoyable once you get past the very first bit where you have very few tools and options. Unfortunately, the base gameplay loop is overshadowed by a storyline where you are punished, punished, punished. More debt, more interest, if anything happens that's a benefit to you it's actually a trap and you'll just be punished more. This makes it not fun by itself but, the threat is there for the story.…
