Rebel Galaxy Outlaw

Great game with very good combat and a good story. Lots of ships to buy and explore with, and then probably explode in because you forgot to take your weapons off the last one! Very fun and even more fun if you have a HOTAS as well as some good music! BUT buy it on sale for like 5$ its worth it!

If you like first space games where you do side quests/mine for cash to upgrade/enhance your ships, this games pretty good. Cowboy bebop feel decent game loops once you get familar with things, combats alright. The story was ignorable for me, I just wanted to get cool ships etc. I had a good time, i don't think it deserves the "mixed" reviews its currently at. It's no 10/10 but its not a 6/10 either, just maybe not a game for everyone.

Rebel Galaxy Outlaw has a nice space setting, but the gameplay never really came together for me. The combat gets repetitive, the progression feels slow, and many missions start to blend into each other. It has some good ideas, but overall I lost interest pretty quickly.

Ahh.. the familiar feeling of Freelancer, when I first started playing the game it gave such a great feeling like I was sent back in time when I was roaming the space of New York around planet Manhattan and making my first trip to planet Pittsburgh. With aim assist, simple flying, no strafing, no engine kill, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is basically console Freelancer. At least that's what I thought at first, but after a while it becomes its own game. You get a handful of ships to pick from, you can trade between systems, you can do bounty hunting, or just missions in general, even join up with guilds for hopefully better pay. As you go through the system your autopilot, which I absolutely love, interrupts you because some space pirates happened on your path, or you get a distress call that you can investigate. The game does a very good job of building the world around you and you get to discover it as you play. You are not forced down on any path, you get to make your mark. I like this. The story is alright, nothing to write home about, but it does push you to explore most of the systems which is an excellent support for the world building. It does get a bit tedious and borin…

The original game was worlds better. The game runs, but I can't recommend it unless you're a masochist, even on normal difficulty.

Loved the previous game. This game's mechanics are however very unsatisfying. Fair play to them for including a way to change the soundtrack but not even Cowboy Bebop's could make the experience palatable. Shame.
