One of the best sandbox games period.
Originally I was going to say the only thing negative might be the lack of an interesting plot, you just kind of get put on a spaceship and forget the plot, just live your life. But then the first mission happened on a strange earth-like planet and the plot kept going.
Honestly, it was pretty interesting and has a lot of room to grow. I really like how the plot vs chilling on ship dynamic is handled as well, especially if we in the future will be able to put of holding team meeting to continue the main plot for as long as we want, which is currently possible with the second mission, as it hasn't been developed yet.
All the characters are fairly likeable and have some dynamism to them.
Your childhood best friend is really sweet, and her romance is great. Yet she can be sassy at times, and generally feels like a true long-time friend. Her design is also excellent.
The doctor has some pretty interesting dommish like content with her "sex feely inducing drug". However, personally I don't love that content. However, it's just light enough in tone that it doesn't make me uncomfortable and diminish from the rest of the game. Otherwise she has shown some interesting growth by showing a more sensitive side, while she generally acts kind of tough.
The mechanic is my favorite character, and has an amazing tom-boyish attitude and design. She also has an interesting back-story involving her family.
Nyx is a great addition to the team, and a great character. I really like her new gaming quirk, as someone has to fill that role
. She has a really cool unique elfish design, and her superior attitude has it's charm, though I hope to see more moments of sensitivity and romance from her sprinkled in. As with the doctor she has some femdom content, but it's consentual and light-hearted enough that it honestly adds to the game, not detract from it for me personally.
Otherwise the animations and sex-scenes are great. I personally love the illusion-like style, so I guess im biased. However, i've definetly seen way worse implementations of this style, and think a lot has been achieved with it here.
Gameplay wise navigating the ship and map is made extremly easy, and similar to hero's harem guild, you always know exactly where to find content you haven't seen, and can easily replay it at any time through the gallery. This is how sandbox content can be executed in a fun, interesting manner without taking away from the experience.
The atmosphere feels great and mass-effect like in nature. You have to take care of your crew and you get to explore interesting planets while getting closer to your crew.
Overall/Tldr; it's a 10/10, easy to play sandbox game, with lots of content and potential. Would play again, will definetly keep an eye on future updates.
Finally: the only real cons are:
Lack of sound - no music, no sfx. Would love some moaning during sex scenes like with the game ripples and a few others. As well as some atmospheric music.
The game might turn of people that can't stand any form of femdom or dom. (though it's a bonus for most people I think, with its light nature).
Personally I wish more of the characters had pubic hair, but at least one has it, so I cant complain compared to most games.
No clue why Alex is included in the game. As the only other male he doesn't seem like a great buddy character. He barely shows up in the game at all. Luckily he isnt here for ntr purposes, I hope that remains the case, however really don't get what the point of him is. He doesn't really seem needed at all.

I hope the game sticks to its non-ntr nature, and harem route. I can appreciate a game with different routes, but sometimes I just want a game where everyone can be friends and appreciate eachother.
