The verdict
A fun, stylized space-company tycoon that is clearly better than the first game, but it's rough Early Access with no tutorial. Skip it if you want polish or a deep late game.
Great for
Fans of the first EarthX and space-industry buffs who enjoy logistics and management and accept Early Access
Main risk
Unpolished Early Access with no tutorial, so early progress is confusing and launches blow up randomly
