Totally worth it if your into dog fighting. Plus as a full time working Parent, it doesn't demand and excessive amount of time to have a good time. The combat is top teir. The graphics aren't going to turn any eyes. But I'm a fan of how the game looks. The cell shading still feels immersive and the environments look great. I've been playing it in VR. If you have a head set I think for the price and quality of the combat this game is well worth it.

An absolutely amazing space sim with excellent gameplay and a thrilling story. I loved each level and getting all of the different endings for each difficulty level. If you're into starfighter stuff like I am, this is absolutely the game for you. Keep in mind that it is fairly short (it took me around 4-5 hours to beat the story and nearly 8-9 hours to get 100% achievements), so maybe wait for a sale.
The game is short, yes. But it was a blast the entire time, incredibly fun. Pick it up next time it goes on sale.
