Still on a space game kick. Finished up Freelancer and started playing No Man's Sky's recent "Voyagers" expedition. It's still got over a month left so I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't played the game in a while. Just to see whats new; It's come a long way.

And picked up Hardspace: Shipbreaker on sale for when NMS starts getting monotonous.

Ooh, was this your first time with Freelancer? It's amazing that it's twenty years later and it might still be the benchmark for non-HOTAS space sims.

I enjoyed Shipbreaker much more than I thought I would. Not typically my style of gameplay, but the setting is fantastic.

No, I played it at release and was HOOKED. I remember clearing a 3 day holiday weekend so I could play through the whole thing (for the second or third time) in one sitting.

I had somehow missed that a HD remaster was released a couple years ago, so I gave it a shot and got sucked right back in. Still a fantastic game, even if the cut scenes and voice acting are a little dated.

For anyone who hasn't played it, it's abandonware now.
