Not really one for space sims. I feel like a lot of them are more complicated than they should be. But I'm really liking Rebel Galaxy! I only have to worry about an XY axis and it's a lot like a naval sim. so it plays a lot like Assassins Creed Black Flag.

Really fun game, but it never hooked me to a point that i finished the story

same. I really liked playing it but like you it never really hooked me in to finish playing it. The mechanics are great but the story is sort of meh.

The game mechanics though are a lot of fun. like navel combat in space. There was another online game a few years ago which was the same, Dreadnaughts. THAT game was awesome but it just never could maintain a playerbase. It had the same gameplay style except it had settings that were both in space and in the atmosphere of planets.

This was a really fun game. I tried it out when it was free on PSN once and then picked it up on PC and beat it.

The sequel, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw was ok, but I don't think it was as good as the first.
