It's a Bethesda RPG in space. If you're looking for No Man's Sky, it isn't that. If you're looking for Elite Dangerous, it isn't that. But it is a BSG RPG, just like I've been playing since Morrowind, and it really scratches that itch. I like the characters I've met, I've enjoyed exploring, and I'm starting to get into the lore and history. The weapons feel great and the gunplay is good. I tried the ship building and was pleased with how smooth a process that is.

I've seen a few graphical glitches, but this really is the least buggy-at-launch BSG RPG I've played. It's definitely made for a controller, but that's fine, that's how I prefer to play these days.

Doesn’t unofficial Linux support seem likely seem likely? Though I’ve heard it only works well with AMD GPUs on Linux, is that right?

Going by the previous games, should work eventually. Seems, however, that there is a bug in either proton or the game itself that makes it fail to launch at the moment in NVIDIA cards.

Yeah, I can confirm that is the case. But, it does run on steam deck which has AMD hardware, so I have no doubt that it will work eventually for Nvidia as well.

It works through Proton on Steam. Not sure why that wouldn’t be available for OP
