There have been many games which have promised to do everything in the world. A game which allows one to go to any planet and do anything you want as you go no. The dream of the infinite game remains and is being tried to do so.

Spacebourne 2 feels like the single payer attempt at that in its now early access situation. The game is an open world or Open-Universe (as the game mentions) RPG and a third person Shooter game which many of the anticipated features such as mining, trading, piracy, crafting, and deep exploration. The game is seemingly made by one person.

Before I continue on with how the game is working, I must preface by saying that the game is extremely Janky. I mean this not in a bad way but rather the feel of having a game which is development by one person along with the Early access. The game does have many issues of popup along with he guns feeling floaty but not too much bad feeling powerful enough.

And even though it mostly works with the player able to pilot a ship freely across the world while landing on the various planers and space stations.

Even without that the story feels a bit disjointed in its early access position. It is difficult to keep track of all the different characters and factions, and the game's plot can feel overwhelming at times. But as told this may be more of a personal issue than for others.

The combat system in Spacebourne 2 is challenging and requires skill and strategy.

The game also features several different types of ships, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Players can customize their ships with various upgrades and weapons to suit their play style.
