Can anyone recommend a decent space sim? I’ve talked myself in and out of buying No Man’s Sky a dozen times, and all this shade will probably remove it from my wishlist.
Depends on what you want out of the game. Freelancer is old, but it's still one of the best experiences you can get. If you really want to feel like a nobody pilot going from rags to riches, X4 or Elite: Dangerous can scratch itch, but both have considerable learning curves, with X4 allowing you to own space stations and pilot anything from fighters to frigates.
Where can you get Freelancer these days...?
Only in yo ho ho seas 🏴☠️
It's annoying that it isn't at least on GOG, it's such a prime candidate.
True. It's been number one requested game, but its copyright hell is among EA and Microsoft :(
