Starpoint Gemini 2 - Review Roundup #3

by Couchpotato, 2014-10-19 03:44:34

Here are some more reviews for Starpoint Gemini 2 this week.

Hardcore Gamer - 3.5/5

All in all, Starpoint Gemini 2 is a relaxing and immersive foray into the depths of space. With tons of content, enthusiasts will find themselves lost for dozens and possibly hundreds of hours exploring, questing, looting and negotiating with the thriving and vivid universe. Some aesthetic issues keep it from being perfect and it lacks the consistent adrenaline-pumping action that thrill-seekers crave, but overall it is an immersive and engaging experience for space captains everywhere.

Entertainment Buddha - 80/100

Starpoint Gemini 2 is an addictive game that will have you playing in various ways for hours upon hours. If you enjoy the occasional space sim, or love the genre immensely, then Starpoint Gemini 2 is definitely one to consider playing. There is an active modding community, which sweetens the deal even more. The controls can be daunting, but it is part of the package, and tutorials aren’t particularly helpful either. You may have to discover a lot of features through experimentation. However, in an open-world sandbox game, this is barely even a problem, and you’ll soon find yourself a competent space captain.

Twinfinite - 4/5

Luckily, Starpoint Gemini 2 has Steam Workshop support, and I’ve already found mods that fix a lot of my major griefs. For the purpose of this review, however, I played without add-ons. Starpoint Gemini 2 has a bit of a high bar to entry, but if you are a fan of space-sims or RPGs, I urge you to check out this game.

Chalgyr's Game Room - 8.25/10

Starpoint Gemini 2 was a massive surprise. While I enjoyed the first Starpoint Gemini, it was not what I would call the most 'robust' of titles and it had numerous issues. Starpoint Gemini 2 is a completely different experience while maintaining the core concept of being a space-faring role-playing game with trading elements. Featuring robust graphics, fantastic skill trees, a massive range of customizable ships and equipment, a decent story and some of the best space combat I have see outside of X3: Albion's Prelude, Starpoint Gemini 2 does everything right from beginning to end. Little Green Man Games has completely turned the franchise around and provided us with a solid game that, while it has some bugs, is incredibly enjoyable and should be a part of any space-gaming fan's library.
