Anybody else get this game yet?
$40 for the full game. And even though it's from EA (groan!) there are
No Loot boxes and
no real-money transactions. Every unlock in the game is bought with in-game currency that is pretty easy to earn.
It's a space-sim that is very much a spiritual successor to the old
X-wing / Tie fighter series.
There's a pretty decent single player campaign, where you alternate between flying for the Empire and the Rebellion/New Republic. Mostly takes place after the destruction of the 2nd Death Star.
It also has a pretty good 5v5 multiplayer mode, although it's a bit buggy at the moment. It's available on Xbox, PS4, and PC, and is 100% cross play across all platforms.
It also supports full
HOTAS, Rudder pedals, and VR (again, VR's a bit buggy right now, too) that looks like it would be amazing to play.
I'm currently using my
Thrustmaster T.16000m HOTAS setup, and it's working really well.
If you're a fan of the old
X-wing, Tie Fighter, XvT, or XWA games, I
highly recommend picking this one up.
