Everything I'd like in a space sim...
... but it's just one of those game where the UI kept me from ever getting into it. Still, 3 personal stars because the potential is quite obviously there.

Elite Dangerous is grindy, but isn't that exactly how space flight and exploration is? The game is an extremely immersive sandbox and has some truly jaw-dropping moments - as interspersed as they can be. For people who enjoy realistic sims like the Euro / American Truck Driver games and want to choose exactly what role they take in a simulated galaxy (shockingly accurate recreation of the Milky Way!), Elite Dangerous is a definite buy.
