Why i give it a 8 ? At launch i was very disappointed. And if i had vote at this time i think i had gave a 4 max. Repetitive, too easy, lack of ambiance; NMS had all necessary to win and seems to be finished too fast without polish .. and i don't wanna talk about promise that never came. But with the last release the game has really changed in a very good way and merit a retry. I play it in survive mode and its a very nice game now i have the feeling of being in a strange planet. I hope that the dev will continue this way and develop much more content in it. This game merit to be improved because the bases are there and its just a question of content now, even if they added a lot more with this last release, the game need much more and i really hope that the dev will work on it.

I have take some time to write a review about E:D. (I am Alpha tester and follower of Elite since 84) Why ? Because i played it a lot to be sure to write something objective. So here it is : Elite Dangerous is different then the original Elite but after more then 200 hours playing the game i can give my personal view of it. ED is a space simulator so that mean you NEED a controller to play the game. Gamepad or joystick but you will NEED it. (i use a full set of warthog+trackIR5+rudder for max immersion) no rules until the way you want to learn. That can be boring for players who are used to be game oriented by scripts or somelike. But it's Elite and the base is the same concept as the one in 1984. So as player, you can become a trader, an explorer, a Bounty hunter or a pirate, you can get your own choice with no faction or choose a faction in the game with the politics conséquences of this choice. ED is very complex to learn i agree but very rewarding when you understand how deep is this game. Many people have just seen the dogfight / trade and exploration part of the game, but there is much more then that in it if you look a bit deeped, Galnet news are one of the way to understand that. Technicaly the graphics are really impressives. But its a start. The game will improve again and again with months. The future : Horizon is comming with landing, new stations, new missions, new fight, new vehicules and spaceshifts. This will take the game to another level. But more is comming ! David Braben (the creator and lead of ED) has promise more surprises and i think they will come and give a boost to this fabulous game that is Elite:Dangerous. I give it a 9 well merited the 10, will come when i will see the Thargoids invading the milky way !

This game can be classified as a AAA game but made by a talented little studio ! The gameplay is fabulous, personaly i haven't get the same fun since NWN2 ! It's really a masterpiece. The first version was good with a 8.7 on metacritic but this one is just perfect. Many little bugs have been resolved, the graphics, sound and AI have been revisited. Thanks Larian to listen players and make game for players and not only for the money. This game smell the passionated player made and its a very fresh wind in the game industry. Congratz Larian Games !!! I give it a 10 well merited.

I am playing this game since beta. Very good asynchronous MMORPG. Its fresh, different, and very fun. If you like crafting MMO this game is for you. Many skills to improve, dungeons to explore. Very well done for a very small team.

As a fan from start of X series i am disapointed. I can understand its a new starting game even if it was announced to be the NEXT BIG THING. I can understand there are major bugs that can be resolved I can understand it lack of control that can be added Thoses missing script there are can be reviewed modded But what i cant understand is to let our community think of a masterpiece and when it launched we got that. Nothing is deep, this remind me on old series like Master of Orion or Freelancer in more simple. But we are in 2013 !! Boring after hours stupid AI, stupid mini game choices no core game, design is awfull. Many dev have look deeper in the code and we can think it was coded first for Xbox360. That mean the UI is worst on a PC. I give it a "1" sadly i would have prefered to give a "10" for sure. I feel sad giving this cause behind this, there are people working with familly. But its a fail and it need to be known by users and the team leader of Egosoft. So sad after years waiting for this result..
