    Starpoint Gemini 2 is a beast of a game. It gracefully balances exploration, action, narrative, and RPG elements to create a complete package that thrills and excites… most of the time. Be aware that the nature of the missions are repetititive and ultimately a means to an end: to become the most powerful captain in the galaxy.

    Starpoint Gemini 2 is a good wine which gives the most after decanting.

    SG2 has everything that makes space sims great, but despite its complexity is accessible enough to make it a wonderful first step into the genre. [13/2014, p.64]

    It's big and often beautiful, and addictive as well. But it does lack the little extra that would keep me playing for weeks.

    Better than the predecessor, a solid game, but still a bit of a disappointment. Mods could change that, though.

    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.

    It is a vast universe with endless possibilities - nothing more, nothing less. If you prefer solo play and you have a vivid imagination give the game a chance. Otherwise leave it be. [Issue#247]

He gave me Scifi books to read when I was little and I got hooked up on space games. This game got me addicted and craving for more in no time! Give it a chance.

After 20y of my gaming life, last year i decided to give the Indie games a chance and it has become a great year.

    Out of pure luck, one day i decided to take it on a Daily deal on Steam, and that was like hitting a winning lottery ticket. The feel of a massive universe where u can be what u want, from a economy based mega mogul Trader, to a ransacking Pirate in a search for a better loot. Starpoint Gemini 2 gives u the real feel of space adventure that was last seen in old classic games like Freespace.

    Buy your ship, upgrade its capabilities, choose from a variety of sizes: from small and fast gunner for fast kill, big slow freightleiner for hauling your precious cargo to a nearby station, or just maneuver a mega military carrier in a massive battles. Its up to you, to take your pick from more then 70 of ships that will blow your mind and make u wanna play more to get "that one there" you have seen in on of your many random generated missions.

    Open space universe is a delight to see and feel. No loading screens, big transport network hub ranging from ships T-Drive capabilities to riftways and wormholes, a cluster of asteroid fields and and beautiful crafted nebulas. It all gives you a immersiveness of a real breathing galaxy, in which your adventures will make a big impact on a world.

    All i can say its a great game, especially when i know its made by a really small dev team of real enthusiasts and space game fans.

    Enjoy it, because: The outcome of the universe is in your hands...

But it's one of the most enjoyable ones I've ever played! This thing has a huge potential and it's constantly updated by devs so you can't go wrong here.

I had given up hope of a space sim for a while. Then while looking through steam I noticed this game and took a gamble.
    So glad I did. The game is so beautiful and immersive. From the twin suns, to the astroid belts. I could honestly just fly around and admire the scenery.

    This game is a must buy for space-nerds. It's fun, there's loads to do. And with the workshop, there is potential for user added content. The dev's are great and plan to add so much more for free.

    Buy it now!

    My first impressions of SPG2 was that it might make my favourite top 5 space sims… it has the potential but it lacks a few vital essentialsMy first impressions of SPG2 was that it might make my favourite top 5 space sims… it has the potential but it lacks a few vital essentials like a functional overview such as Freelancer. I was probably more than 20 hours into my early access when I realized just how much I missed it.

    It’s no game breaker but having played Freelancer for well over 1500hrs and EVE online for much more you quickly realize just how much it holds the game back from being so much better. I’ve put some 140 hrs into the game (including beta) and I’m far from finished with it.

    The good news is that some serious HUD tweaks are coming as the DEV’s work tirelessly to address a few bugs that appeared at launch and they’ve been responding to some imbalance issues relating to leveling, the game having only been released a few weeks now is already feeling much better.

    Visually the game scores 9/10 Just beautiful!

    Soundtrack 9/10 Really great soundtrack.

    Storyline 6/10 Story was OK, I just didn’t get into it. Just dialogue, no character cut scenes at all.

    Voice acting 6/10 Some were hilarious they were so bad.

    Gameplay 9/10 Some solid gameplay mechanics, easy to get into but hard to master.

    Replay ability 9/10 I got my money’s worth just playing the Beta early access!

    General Content 9/10 Some real quality ships, gear, missions, bounties, capture ship gameplay etc…

    LGM Dev’s 10/10 Never come across such a great team working so hard with so little.

    I just finished the story mode… overall I enjoyed it, I’ve still got a few high bounties to go after and I haven’t explored all of the map. The game as far as the DEV’s are concerned isn’t finished they have a big wish list of features they still hope to implement and honestly I can’t wait.

    Starpoint Gemini 2 easily makes it into my top 10 space sim games and if you’e looking for something to fill the void while we wait for Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous etc Just get it already.

    SPG2 will keep on getting better as they go and I’m looking forward to it and new content.

I've tried this game several times over the years and its just a massive bug fest. This latest try, the game crashed on the very first "action" of landing on the first planet. So I didn't even make it past the tutorial. The last time I tried to play this game (about a year ago)I made it a bit into the game, several levels up, and got a bugged quest. My options were to revert to an older save and lose days of progress or uninstall. Expand
